Overview

Channel your inner Sherlock Holmes in this mystery scavenger hunt around Boston!
In "Murder by Boston Common," you are transported back to the year 1895. As a rookie detective, you must investigate a dismembered body found in a pond in Boston Public Gardens.
It’s now up to you to solve the crime and find the culprit! After purchasing, go to the designated pickup point to collect your mystery package, which contains everything you’ll need to solve the case. Once you have it, you are free to begin at your convenience. Enjoy the flexibility of starting and stopping whenever you like.
This exciting and challenging activity is perfect for you and your family, friends, or colleagues to tackle together. You must have a minimum of 2 people to purchase.

Tip: We recommend groups of 2-4 participants. If your group is larger than 4, you can buy multiple mystery packages and compete against each other.
The winner is the group that solves the mystery the fastest.
(Note: Available in English only.)

What's Included

  • An envelope with everything you will need to solve the mystery. English only.
  • Entrance to any museum or other activities (not needed to solve the mystery hunt)

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
