About this tour
Turn Charleston’s French Quarter into a real-world whodunit as you follow a trail of suspects, alibis, and clues. This self-guided Charleston murder mystery walking game begins at Washington Square and leads you to landmarks where the story unfolds around you.
At each stop, interact with something real, such as a plaque, statue, or historic facade, to solve a puzzle and gather evidence. Choose the order of your leads, use built-in hints if you need them, and pause for a cafe break whenever you like. Along the way, the app shares historical facts and local legends about the places you visit. The route covers about 1.5 miles and takes roughly 90–120 minutes, ending near where you started. You’ll need a charged smartphone with internet access; no physical guide or entrance fees are required.
Play solo, as a couple, with friends, or with older kids, and piece together the evidence at your own pace. Start your Charleston murder mystery walking game whenever it suits you and see if you can identify the culprit.

How this score is calculated
This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.
How the score works
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
