Despre activitate
This is a self-guided exploration game where you'll be wandering the streets of Philadelphia and solving a paranormal case and hunting for ghosts. The file has been open since 1954. You, with your detective and observational skills, and a little help from the Questo app, will try to close it in 2 hours.
The route starts at Benjamin Franklin's grave and takes you through 13 of Old City's darkest addresses. Your job is to find out what each ghost is still owed, and settle it.
You'll discover dark stories like the first bank robbery in America, the surgeon who had bodies delivered in barrels after midnight, and the lunchtime park where 1,300 fever victims were buried in one year.
Each location involves inspecting a real-world object and solving a challenge.
Best after dark with your phone torch on. About 1.7 miles of walking, with unlimited breaks.
Hints and 24/7 support if you get stuck.
Perfect for Halloween or any night you're in the mood for creepy ghost stories.
