What to expect

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! TECH SPECS A smart phone and a knowledge of your web browser are required to play this game.
