This was a fun way to learn about different sites in the gaslamp district and put our detective skills to work. We were provided with great detection tools, hints and lots of exploring. Our guide for the event did a great job providing us what the tools to solve this who dunnit.

Like Murder Mystery...then this is for you

I see some reviews for a tour and other for the murder mystery. We did the murder mystery and had a great time. We met up with Layla who was funny, energetic and knew how to set the mystery in place. She gave us our "clue bag", great instructions, walked us over to the first location and from there, we were off to solve the crime. You will need to give the answers some thought and the Gaslamp is a great location to add to the thrill. We would definitely play again, if there was a new murder mystery to be solved.

Fun Experience!

We had the please of having Drew help us on the tour. He was amazing. The whole story line was great He was able to provide much more background than we would have gotten on our own.

Two thumbs up!

It was a great time overall. Drew, our guide, was very entertaining and full of historical tidbits about the surrounding area!

Nice, fun way to introduce yourself to the Gaslamp District

This was a fun add-on to our Christmas weekend in the Gaslamp District area! Detective Drew was great, and it was a unique way to see what is around in the several block radius of the district. With it being my first time there, I didn't know where to start exploring, so this was perfect. The locals were friendly and the ones who were at the locations involved in the scavenger hunt were helpful. Make sure your smart phone is charged, as this is where a lot of your clues will be found! I recommend it for a fun little addition to a trip to the area.

Overall, we had really...

Overall, we had really good time. Detective Drew was fun and added good energy to the night. Would recommend having stops at each clue to regroup and maybe partake in local business. At times felt a little rushed. But we had a blast nonetheless!! Would recommend

Detective Drew was...

Holli_M, Nov 2021

Detective Drew was amazing!!!! This downtown adventure was a perfect addition to our trip. The story and clues are littered with double entendres and adult jokes, so maybe not the best tour for younger audiences or those who may be easily flustered. We were given some background and 2 clue packets, then your group travels independently to a few destinations to solve the missing information and discover the next clue. We walked/visited 6 or 7 places around downtown to solve this mystery. My friends and I had a blast!

Good time

Darrien_D, Sep 2021

Very fun and the host was amazing! Easy to locate the places but you do have to think outside the box to figure it out.

We had fun

Collett_C, Jul 2021

My 18 year old and I enjoyed the scavenger hunt style of the experience. We enjoyed solving the clues. It was a good time. Thank you!

Fun mystery sleuthing

Terry_B, Jul 2021

Lots of fun! Especially with kids. Fun family activity to do. Kids Ashe were 10 and 15. Kids loved it and so did the adults. Highly recommend it.

Extremely fun. It keeps you thinking the entire time.

Tamekia_M, Apr 2021

This tour was awesome.! The lady in charge of the inspection was great.! Her tone of voice, the way she interpreted things and how she helps you to understand some things that are a bit difficult without giving up any answers.! I really love this tour. It’s fun and makes you really think.!
