About this activity

This is a self-guided ghost hunt where you'll be catching ten restless spirits in the old town of America's oldest city, with the app as your scanner. Every ghost is stuck on a mystery it left unfinished. Solve it and the ghost is caught. One of the ten is lying to you, and your job is to work out which one.

The route takes you from Granada Street past the Plaza de la Constitucion, down St George Street and around Flagler College, in about 2 hours.

You'll uncover stories like the senator lured onto a rainy road by a fake call about her daughter, the doctor who died of guilt, and the librarian who never came home.

Each stop has its own puzzle: a magic-square blood test, a code hidden in a monologue, a shelf of antiques with one fake among them.

Best after dark with your phone torch on. About 1.3 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.

Itinerary

Plaza de la Constitucion

16 min

You'll start on Granada Street, where the app hands you the case and you start your journey as a ghost hunter. Then you'll walk down King Street toward the Plaza de la Constitucion and catch your first two ghosts: a bride poisoned through her own wedding bouquet, and a doctor from the 1952 flu outbreak.
St. George Street

29 min

You'll work your way through the narrow streets around St George Street and catch four ghosts. You'll pull a code out of an actor's final monologue, rebuild a senator's evidence timeline, spot the extra pupil in a teacher's class registers, and find the fakes in an antique shop.
Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine

11 min

You'll stop by the Cathedral Basilica on the plaza and use a poster to find the one book on the shelf that opens a locked closet. Something has been pounding inside it since the night the librarian disappeared.
Memorial Presbyterian Church

11 min

You'll head down Valencia Street, beside the copper dome of the Memorial Presbyterian Church, and learn the sttory of a burned down hotel.
Lightner Museum

23 min

You'll walk along King Street, past the old Hotel Ponce de Leon, and hear about a priest who vanished after confronting a cult. Back on Granada Street you'll line up the ten clues your ghosts gave you and name the Evil One who has been lying all night.
