What To Expect

Discover San Diego in a whole new way: by solving a murder mystery!

You will be tasked with solving the murder of silent movie director Rex King, who was visiting San Diego while filming on location in 1926. Gather the clues – outdoors and on the move – while visiting historical sites throughout the city!

At each stop, you will search for the passcode to open up your next set of clues by reading readily accessible (and free) historical markers. Your hunt will take you through what was once San Diego's famous red light district. This 1 mile walk will visit 10 stops of historical significance, at which point you will assemble your clues, submit your response, and find out the solution!
