The Zodiac killer terrorised an entire generation, taunted the police with coded letters, and was never actually caught. Decades later, a copycat has surfaced in Phoenix, breaking into a police evidence vault and stealing the original 1969 case files. He has already marked his next victims and dared the local police to stop him before he strikes again, certain that no one is clever enough to catch him. Now it is up to you to take the case.
This is a real-world murder mystery played outdoors, on the streets of Phoenix, where you and your team step into the role of the detectives leading the investigation. Guided by the Questo app on your phone, you'll visit 12 locations and examine the world around you, from a statue to a mural to an old inscription, to see if you can find any evidence. You'll be hit with puzzles, ciphers, cryptic letters and other challenges that you'll need to solve to decode the killer's messages and save the next victim. Just like the investigators of the original Zodiac, you'll question suspects, rule out the dead ends, and slowly close in on the identity behind the mask. The game mixes real historical facts with crime fiction and it's perfect for history lovers, crime enthusiasts and urban explorers.
You can play whenever you want (we recommend in the evening) and bring as many friends as you like. There is no set order in which you need to play. Each player can choose their own route and trust their instincts to lead them. But be careful: some of the locations are decoys planted to waste your precious time.
