By day, Cherry Creek North is all boutiques, galleries and patios. Once the shops close, its leafy blocks between First and Third Avenue go quiet, and that's when this self-guided ghost hunt works best. The Questo app turns your phone into the hunt's headquarters. Ten ghosts haunt the neighborhood, none of them real, and each is stuck on how it died: a bride poisoned through her bouquet, a senator lured out on a rainy night, a professor killed by a shelf someone had loosened. You catch each one by solving its puzzle, and each catch gives you a clue. One ghost is lying, and naming it is how the game ends. The loop starts and finishes on Fillmore Street, covers about 1.2 miles and takes around 90 minutes. Go whenever suits you, on your own or with friends. Hints and 24/7 support are there if a puzzle has you stuck.
