King William is San Antonio's old German quarter, a few quiet streets of Victorian mansions and deep porches just south of downtown. After dark, it's where this self-guided ghost hunt takes place, played on your phone with the app. Ten restless spirits are stuck here, each one bound to the mystery that killed them. You catch a ghost by solving its puzzle: a bride's last note with letters marked in red, a doctor's blood chart from the 1952 flu outbreak, an antique dealer's stock with forgeries slipped in. Every catch earns you a clue, because one of the ten has been lying, and the final puzzle asks you to name it. The ghosts are fictional characters written for the game. The houses you walk past are real, and most are well over a century old. Expect about 1.6 miles along King William and South Alamo Street, roughly 90 minutes at an easy pace. Start any day at any hour, alone or with a group. Hints are built into the app, and our support team is on hand 24/7.

What you'll see and do
King William Historic District
The hunt starts in King William Park, at the top of the old German quarter. The app signs you up as a ghost hunter, then checks whether you have the sight with a ring of strange numerals, one of them missing. Round the corner on Pancoast Street, a bride who died three days before her wedding left a note with letters marked in red.
15 minutes here
The Guenther House Museum
On Washington Street, by the old Pioneer flour mill, the second ghost is a young doctor from the 1952 flu outbreak. You'll read his blood chart, a grid of numbers and blood bags, and work out the type a dying girl should have been given.
15 minutes here
Villa Finale: Museum & Gardens
Back on King William Street, by the Italianate Villa Finale and the Steves Homestead, two ghosts are waiting. You'll take apart an actor's final monologue, where the numbers are spelled out as words, then sort a senator's evidence folders into the right years. Jonathan Rivers never finished his opening night, and Margaret Chen never made it home from a call about her daughter.
15 minutes here
Southtown
The route crosses into Southtown on South Alamo Street for three ghosts in a row. You'll compare four years of class registers to find a pupil who never existed, catch the forgeries in an antique dealer's stock by their dates, and work out which book opens a locked closet from a wildlife poster that gets its animals wrong.
15 minutes here
Hemisfair
Further up South Alamo, toward Hemisfair, the puzzles get harder. You'll match a professor's five artifacts to their civilizations and put them in order, then use a hotel floor plan to decide who should have left a burning building last. The night manager who followed those rules went back in for a child's cry and never came out.
15 minutes here
San Antonio Art League + Museum
On the walk back to King William Street, the tenth ghost is a priest who vanished in 1984 after finding a cult's mark carved into his church organ. Near the San Antonio Art League Museum, the app lays out every clue card you've won. One ghost has lied to you all night, and the hunt ends when you name it.

San Antonio Haunted King William Self Guided Ghost Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Antonio.
How much does San Antonio Haunted King William Self Guided Ghost Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $10 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Antonio usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does San Antonio Haunted King William Self Guided Ghost Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in San Antonio is not rushed.
Is San Antonio Haunted King William Self Guided Ghost Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in San Antonio, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule San Antonio Haunted King William Self Guided Ghost Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is San Antonio Haunted King William Self Guided Ghost Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book San Antonio Haunted King William Self Guided Ghost Tour?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in San Antonio can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in San Antonio and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does San Antonio Haunted King William Self Guided Ghost Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central San Antonio within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in San Antonio?
+
San Antonio runs River Walk cruises and dinner tours, Alamo and mission trail history walks, ghost tours through the old quarter, and Hill Country wine and cave trips. Mission tours vary in whether they cover all five UNESCO sites. On Outty we rank every San Antonio experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Escape Game San Antonio: Epic 60-Minute Adventures at The Rim, Walking Tour Along the San Antonio Riverwalk And Around Downtown, San Antonio Haunted Ghost Bus Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit San Antonio?
+
March to May and October to November. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in San Antonio?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
