October 26, 1881
Follow the footsteps of Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday in the most violent town of territorial Arizona, where over 100 gunfights left their marks on the Bird Cage Theatre walls.
Step into the shoes of a federal investigator on a secret mission in Tombstone in 1881. You arrive at Schieffelin Hall on Allen Street, first stop of an investigation that will take you 1.5 km through the most troubling remnants of the American Far West. At each stop, open your phone: augmented reality clues reveal themselves on red brick facades, bullet holes in the Bird Cage Theatre, graves at Boothill Cemetery. A miner's ghost appears before Ed Schieffelin's monument, Doc Holliday transmits a coded message from Big Nose Kate's Saloon, spirits of OK Corral victims whisper their final secrets. In 165 minutes through this historic Arizona town, at your own pace, you unravel the true conspiracy that shook Tombstone between 1877 and 1890.

The story that haunts this land
Tombstone was born in 1877 from Ed Schieffelin's discovery, a prospector who found silver where soldiers promised him his tombstone. Schieffelin Hall, built in 1881-1882 and inaugurated on December 9, 1882, testifies to this sudden prosperity with its Victorian red brick facade and 600 seats. The town's first permanent theater, it hosted shows that entertained the 15,000 inhabitants who came seeking fortune in Cochise County's silver mines.
Allen Street quickly became the vital artery of this boomtown, stretching 1.5 km through Tombstone's commercial heart. Its restored Victorian buildings from the 1880s-1890s housed saloons, hotels and shops where miners, cowboys and lawmen crossed paths. It was on this street that rivalries between the Earp and Clanton clans developed, tensions that would culminate in the OK Corral gunfight on October 26, 1881.
Big Nose Kate's Saloon perpetuates the memory of Kate Elder, Doc Holliday's tumultuous companion at 417 E. Allen Street. This saloon-museum in a restored period building evokes Tombstone's nightlife during the silver rush, when the town had more saloons than churches. Kate Elder, nicknamed 'Big Nose Kate', embodies those Western women who defied the social conventions of the Victorian era.
The Bird Cage Theatre, opened in 1881 at 517 E. Allen Street, concentrates all of Tombstone's violence with its 100 documented gunfights recorded by the Tombstone Epitaph. Its 14 private 'cages' suspended from balconies for wealthy spectators witnessed the bloodiest showdowns in the Far West. The bullet holes, still visible on walls and ceiling, physically testify to the conflicts that tore the town apart between 1881 and 1889.
Your investigation closes at Ed Schieffelin's monument at Boothill Graveyard, cemetery founded in 1878 where over 250 characters from the era rest. Facing this tombstone of Tombstone's discoverer, who died in 1897, you measure destiny's irony: he who sought his grave ultimately found silver, then founded a legend. The secrets you take away reveal a more complex truth than Hollywood westerns.
