A murder shadows Charleston's charming downtown: your brother, once the governor, was killed by the one they call the Black Thumb. This self-guided exploration game sends you hunting for the truth, from St. Philip's Church past the Dock Street Theatre, the Pink House and Rainbow Row to St. Michael's Church, one clue at a time.
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 1.9 km and takes around 2 hours, with no time limit.
