Charlotte Queen City Murder Mystery Detective Game
Overview
Solve a self-guided murder mystery on a walk through Uptown Charlotte. Travel blogger Bella Wanderlust is found dead during a ghost tour. Her boyfriend, the theatrical guide, and a stranger all have something to hide.
Use the Questo app on your phone to gather evidence at 12 real locations across Center City: NASCAR Hall of Fame, Romare Bearden Park, The Green, Trade & Tryon Square, and other Charlotte landmarks. Interrogate suspects, decode hidden messages, and name the killer before they strike again.
Every chapter features original audio narration. Characters speak directly to you as the case unfolds, while real Queen City history is woven into every stop.
Start anytime, pause whenever, and pick up where you left off. Allow around 75 minutes for the full 2.1 km route.
Perfect for date night, true crime fans, friends groups, or solo detectives ready to crack the case.
