Curated Local Experiences for School Groups!
School Excursions That Are Engaging, Not Exhausting!
Organizing a school outing can be a thankless, stressful task. Hours spent searching through messy websites, trying to balance all the budgets, personalities, and interests that make up your community!
It can be easy to lose focus on the whole point of why we do this; to transform our students into historically-oriented travelers and citizens.
“We did that last year…”
Avoid the dreaded “we did that last year…” Your group doesn’t want another boring lecture tour where they won’t be actively growing as a team. Axe-throwing and escape rooms are fun, but they can do that back home, and don’t have that team-building focus your group deserves!

Mystery & History Combined!
Loved solving puzzles and mysteries! Thought I knew it all as a Chicagoan, but I was wrong... Andre shared lesser-known Gold Coast facts. A fun way to spend the morning!
Perfect for the Whole Family!
Went for Mother’s Day and it was terrific! We live in Chicago and still learned new things... our teens enjoyed it too! Highly recommend!
Fun & Interactive Tour!
The tour guide is great and funny! Knows a lot about Chicago history... saw places hadn’t seen yet. Highly recommend!
A Thrilling 1920s Mystery!
Andre was so authentic... fascinating Chicago history... a riveting 2-hour escapade! 5 stars!
History, Mystery & Nonstop Fun!
Way more than just a whodunit... a perfect blend of history and mystery! Andre was a total gem —relatable, friendly, and knowledgeable!
Mi parte favorita fueron las historias.
Nunca había tenido un guía turístico que supiera tanto! Chicago es una ciudad hermosa y este es un tour maravilloso.
Muchas Gracias!
Aprendimos y vimos mucho más de lo que habríamos visto explorando por nuestra cuenta. Él lo hace real y pudimos entrar en lugares brillantes. Muchas Gracias!
It’s the highlight of our trip to Chicago.
We caught the killer and laughed the whole way. Super fun, really great time. I was shy to participate at first, but Andre did a great job making us detectives.
This tour was amazing.
It’s a great way to learn about Chicago in a fun way. The subject matter was incredibly interesting and the sites were captivating. Ask for Andre, as his knowledge and passion for Chicago are evident!
Excellent fun!
I’ve never seen anything like it, it’s the best of a walking tour, and the best of a murder mystery game! We became detectives and played suspects trying to find the killer, who naturally, was my son. It’s a must if you are visiting
FAQs
“I started this with one simple goal…”
“To encourage play in a world that needs it more than ever. It’s been a journey that has transformed me with unexpected success, and life-long friendships along the way.
Seeing guests transform into detectives, and even return to solve more mysteries fills me with gratitude and a resolve to stay the path, cleaning up the streets and solving more murders. What started as a fun idea has turned into a journey of a lifetime. I’m grateful for every shared moment, and mystery solved. Thank you.”
