Night folds over Medellín’s streets and the city’s hills keep watch as you tap your phone and follow a trail of clues. The game drops you into a murder-mystery — a travel blogger found dead during a ghost tour — and turns ordinary plazas, boulevards, and alleyways into pieces on a life-size detective board. You move at your own pace, interrogating fictional suspects through puzzle prompts and GPS-triggered scenes.
