Seattle Haunted Ballard Self Guided Ghost Tour
0 (0)
From $10 USD
Ballard was its own mill town until Seattle annexed it in 1907, and Ballard Avenue still has the brick storefronts to prove it. This self-guided ghost hunt never strays more than a few blocks from them, so it's easy to pause for a drink and pick up where you left off. Ten ghosts are loose in the neighborhood. They're fictional, written for the game, and each one needs you to solve the puzzle it died with: a doctor's blood chart from the 1952 flu outbreak, a senator's evidence folders, a librarian's closet that nobody has dared to open. The Questo app guides you from ghost to ghost, and every catch gives you a clue toward the one ghost that's lying. The full loop is about 1.3 miles, from the Ballard Avenue bell tower and back, and most groups take around 90 minutes. Play any time, as a couple, a family or a big group. In-app hints and 24/7 support are included.
