Haunted Orlando: Downtown Ghost Hunt Escape Game
Twelve puzzles, three kilometres, and the restless dead of downtown Orlando.
This haunted Orlando ghost hunt escape game transforms downtown's historic streets into an open-air mystery, asking you to track down escaped souls before they cause irreversible trouble. Starting at Lake Eola and winding through tunnels beneath century-old hotels, the route reveals a side of Orlando that exists far beyond the theme parks.
Powered by the Questo app, the experience requires nothing more than a smartphone, a booking code, and a willingness to confront the city's darker past. Twelve interactive puzzles guide you past a funeral home, a secret society's headquarters, and a Prohibition-era bar where poltergeists are said to linger.
The narrative weaves together genuine local history, including a courthouse where a killer's ghost reportedly still roams, a corner built on a Seminole burial ground, and the contested origins of Orlando's name. The experience is rated easy and works equally well for couples or small teams of three.
Play at any hour, though the creators recommend going after dark for full atmospheric effect. The route covers approximately three kilometres across twelve stops and takes around sixty minutes to complete.
Tour Highlights
A self-guided walking route covering twelve haunted landmarks across three kilometres of downtown Orlando.
App-driven gameplay via Questo means no guide is needed — just your phone and the clues it delivers.
Explore tunnels beneath historic hotels and decode clues at a genuine funeral home and a secret society's former headquarters.
Best experienced after dark, when the atmospheric weight of Orlando's haunted corners is at its most convincing.
Uncover the disputed story behind Orlando's name and the soldier who may never have existed.
Twelve puzzles of varying formats — from leet-speak cyphers at a funeral home to colour codes at a clandestine meeting place.
Available every day of the year with no fixed departure time, so you choose exactly when to begin.
Route Highlights
Your adventure begins here, where the app delivers the first clue and sets the ghost-hunt narrative in motion. Solve the opening puzzle to unlock directions to the next haunted stop.
The route passes through the Angebilt Hotel and the Kress Building, where clues are embedded in the architecture of Orlando's most storied blocks. The tunnels beneath these properties form part of the challenge.
Wall Street Plaza and the Church Street Station precinct bring Prohibition-era Orlando to life, with puzzles set inside a former speakeasy and a bar said to be plagued by a restless poltergeist.
The penultimate stops connect Orlando's founding mythology to its most contested history, including the Seminole burial ground and the courthouse where a killer's spirit is said to remain.
The hunt concludes at the marker dedicated to the soldier whose name — and very existence — gave Orlando its identity. Both the story and the city game end here.
