Don’t Look Down Mystery Adventure

Don’t Look Down
Some trails lead deeper than the forest. Some truths are buried just beneath the surface.

Six months ago, Frank Caliper—trail name: Fighting Elk Spirit—fell to his death on a moonlit hike through Red River Gorge. Everyone says it was an accident. Everyone except Frank.

Now, on the anniversary of that night, you’ve discovered a trail of hidden letters and testimonies from the friends who were with him. Each claims to mourn him. One of them is lying.

Don’t Look Down is a self-guided, 7-part murder mystery adventure built into the Indian Staircase and Adena Arch loop. With a blend of escape-room-style clues and dramatic storytelling, this immersive experience will lead you through real landmarks as you unravel what really happened at the edge of that cliff.

🧭 What to Expect:

• 🔍 A compelling “whodunit” with 7 immersive scenes along your hike

• 🥾 A choice between two routes: the infamous Indian Staircase or the safer forest trail

• 📜 Character testimonies + Frank’s letters = a layered, unfolding mystery

• 🧠 Solve clues, make guesses (murderer, motive, method, and location), and track your theory as you go

• 🌄 A moving final scene set beneath the stars at the summit

• 🎭 Misleads, motives, and meaning—only one truth, and one killer
