About this activity

Channel your inner Sherlock Holmes in this mystery scavenger hunt around Boston!

In "Murder by Boston Common," you are transported back to the year 1895. As a rookie detective, you must investigate a dismembered body found in a pond in Boston Public Gardens.

It’s now up to you to solve the crime and find the culprit! After purchasing, go to the designated pickup point to collect your mystery package, which contains everything you’ll need to solve the case. Once you have it, you are free to begin at your convenience. Enjoy the flexibility of starting and stopping whenever you like.

This exciting and challenging activity is perfect for you and your family, friends, or colleagues to tackle together. You must have a minimum of 2 people to purchase.

Tip: We recommend groups of 2-4 participants. If your group is larger than 4, you can buy multiple mystery packages and compete against each other.
