Boston, 1961. You're a detective on your way to a criminology convention when a panicked beat cop rushes to your side with a chilling tip: an anonymous caller claims the Boston Strangler is about to break his pattern and strike three times today. In this self-guided exploration game you race against time from Symphony Hall and the Museum of Fine Arts through the Fenway Victory Gardens to Fenway Park, following real-world clues to stop a killer before it's too late.

Along the way you solve challenges in the Questo app, learn historical facts and local myths, and discover hidden spots that only locals know and most tourists pass by. The walk covers about 4 km and takes around 2 hours, with no time limit.

Will you catch him before he vanishes again?
