Itinerary and highlights

Designed to be engaging & entertaining for adults!

An incredibly fun & 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, the logic-based clues will systematically lead you to explore historic Old Town San Diego. Using your wits and some creativity, each clue will reveal another piece of your investigation, and you'll eliminate innocent suspects until you've discovered... WhoDunIt?

Your team will compete against other teams scattered throughout the area, each leading their own separate investigation. The team that reveals the murderer needing the least help from headquarters & is the fastest wins!

This is NOT a Phone App. 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. No need to be familiar with the area or have any specialized knowledge to win. Great fun for both locals and tourists.
