About this activity

This murder mystery experience is a true whodunit with suspects, alibis and a twist ending. Every clue hides in something real, a plaque, a statue, a facade in Fresno. You will collect the evidence, piece together the case and accuse a suspect at the finale.

We offer 24/7 customer support and built-in hints to guarantee that you never stay stuck. The app will also provide real historical facts and local legends about the landmarks you're visiting.

You can play anytime, at any hour. It will take you ~90-120 minutes with optional cafe breaks and you can pause and resume whenever you want.

Total walking distance is about 1.5 miles and the game ends in the same place where it started, making it easy to fit into your day.

It's perfect for date nights, solo adventurers, couples, friends, families with older kids, or team-building events.

Itinerary

Become the lead investigator in a self-guided murder mystery game that turns Fresno into your own crime scene. Your case: Bella, a famous travel blogger, was found dead during a ghost tour, and her killer is still somewhere, walking free. As the new detective, you will start in downtown Fresno, where the app hands you the case file and your first lead. The trail will take you through the historic downtown, past local landmarks like the Fresno Metropolitan Museum, Arte Américas, Fulton 55, Rainbow Ballroom. At each stop you will investigate your surroundings (inscriptions, statues, plaques, facades, etc.) to solve a puzzle that will reveal a piece of evidence. Every solved puzzle unlocks the instructions for the next chapter, plus some fun historical facts about the locations you're visiting. You can play alone or bring your whole group. The game can be played all day, any day: just book a ticket and play whenever you want. It ends in the same place where it starts and will take you about 90-120 minutes (including optional coffee breaks whenever you like). The total walking distance is about 1.5 miles (2.5 km).
