Itinerary

DISCOVER BOSTON IN A WHOLE NEW WAY: BY SOLVING A MURDER MYSTERY!
You will be tasked with solving the murder of silent movie director Rex King, who was visiting Boston while filming on location in 1926. Gather the clues – outdoors and on the move – while visiting historical sites throughout the city!
Using your smart phone, you will be out and about, while finding out whodunnit. During this game played at your own pace, you will venture to several historic sites, gathering clues along the way. This game is great fun while checking out the sites on vacation or just getting to know your home town better. Your whole group of friends can play with just one purchase.
At each stop, you will search for the passcode to open up your next set of clues by reading readily accessible (and free) historical markers. Stops on this hunt include: Boston Commons, Granary Burying Ground, and the Old State House (just to name a few). This 1.3 mile walk will visit 10 stops of historical significance, at which point you will assemble your clues, submit your response, and find out the solution!

Paid for murder mystery got Boston history questions instead until the last question. Will not be able to learn about Rex Kings life and murder through a tour. Not worth time or expense.

Fun experience. Read directions of how to start the game before starting in Boston common. Easy to follow thereafter.

We had a good time walking around and seeing the city in a different way. Everyone participated in solving the clues and we learned a few things along the way.
