Murder Mystery Scavenger Hunt

Designed to be engaging, challenging and entertaining for adults! An incredibly fun and unique competition where you'll prove if your detective skills are good enough to solve a murder…

Each team is given a list of suspects along with a packet of tricky clues, twisted riddles and mind-bending puzzles. All on foot, our logic-based clues will systematically lead you to explore Downtown Huntington Beach: including the Huntington Beach Pier, Downtown Shops, Beach Walking Trail, Pacific City, and Triangle Park. Using your wits and some creativity, each location will reveal another piece of your investigation, and you'll eliminate innocent suspects until you've discovered… Who Done It?

This is NOT a Phone App game. This is an event with a host and other teams. Bring a cell phone to call the helpline in case you get stumped, but a smart phone is not needed, and will not help you. This is great fun for both locals and tourists. There's no official age limit, but the logic-based clues are too difficult for young kids.
