King William is San Antonio's old German quarter, a few quiet streets of Victorian mansions and deep porches just south of downtown. After dark, it's where this self-guided ghost hunt takes place, played on your phone with the app. Ten restless spirits are stuck here, each one bound to the mystery that killed them. You catch a ghost by solving its puzzle: a bride's last note with letters marked in red, a doctor's blood chart from the 1952 flu outbreak, an antique dealer's stock with forgeries slipped in. Every catch earns you a clue, because one of the ten has been lying, and the final puzzle asks you to name it. The ghosts are fictional characters written for the game. The houses you walk past are real, and most are well over a century old. Expect about 1.6 miles along King William and South Alamo Street, roughly 90 minutes at an easy pace. Start any day at any hour, alone or with a group. Hints are built into the app, and our support team is on hand 24/7.
