About

This is an incredibly fun and unique adventure where you'll find out 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. Our clues will systematically lead you to explore Downtown Laguna Beach. Using your wits and some creativity, each location will reveal another piece of your investigation, and you'll eliminate suspects until you've discovered... Who Done It? Your team will compete against up to ten other teams scattered throughout Downtown Laguna Beach, each leading their own separate investigation. The team that solves for the murderer needing the least help from headquarters wins! The game lasts about four hours and will require traveling about three miles on foot. Allow extra time for signing-in at the beginning and socializing at the end. It's a great way to tour Laguna Beach. Get outdoors for the day and enjoy the great beach atmosphere while exercising your body and mind. There is no age limit, but the game is likely too mentally challenging for children under 12. This is also an excellent event to book for private parties and for corporate team building outings. There are other clue based games out there. Most involve simple and tedious tasks. Murder Mystery Scavenger Hunt is NOTHING like them! If you want a NICE day, suitable for YOUNG children, play theirs. If you want an experience you'll never forget, come see us.

Duration: More than 3 hours

Puzzles, clues and exercise

Mar 2023 • Friends

So fun!
If you’re in town for a few days and have 1 day to experience Laguna Beach, this scavenger hunt will take you all around the downtown area… plus you’ll get to exercise your brain and your legs!
All very well put together, creative, clever and somewhat challenging.
Alex does an excellent job of explaining and the provided materials are clear and understandable.
Highly recommended activity!

Great way to learn the City of Laguna Beach and enjoy the great weather and scenery. It is a fun activity for a group of friends - really challenging puzzles and riddles. Alex, the owner and host, did a fantastic job of putting this activity together for residents and visitors alike. I would definitely recommend this activity.

Great Day Exploring Laguna Beach!

Jan 2022

So much fun! We did the Laguna Beach Murder Mystery Scavenger Hunt. The clues definitely make you think, but they are all very fair and can be solved. It made for a great day out exploring the beauty of Laguna Beach, and it helped us find even more amazing monument and artwork throughout Laguna along the journey! I've lived in Laguna for many years, and I saw so many new things on this scavenger hunt that I've never seen or noticed before. Thank you so much Alex for organizing such a fun experience - we can't wait to try another one in Newport Beach or Dana Point next!

Tons of Fun!

Oct 2021

I participated in the Laguna Beach scavenger hunt on a Saturday and it was a great way to spend a few hours while using your brain and having fun. I've been to Laguna so many times but I notice so many new things about the city while doing the hunt. The puzzles are well crafted and have the perfect level of difficulty while not being too easy. Alex was very helpful when we my team got stuck and we had a great time chatting with him after we finished for the day. I would highly recommend the Murder Mystery Scavenger Hunt.
