You step onto a downtown sidewalk with the city humming: trampling feet, distant student laughter, and the Huron River threading the town like a dare. The app cues the first voice—Commander Mahoney—pulling you into a case that asks you to look closer at storefronts, plaques, and street corners.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

You step onto a downtown sidewalk with the city humming: trampling feet, distant student laughter, and the Huron River threading the town like a dare. The app cues the first voice—Commander Mahoney—pulling you into a case that asks you to look closer at storefronts, plaques, and street corners.
Ann Arbor's streets are the stage. Founded in 1824 and reshaped by waves of glaciation, the area’s low rolling hills and the Huron River shaped early settlement and trade. University of Michigan culture colors the city—art galleries, independent bookstores, and late-night coffee crowds—so expect clues woven into both civic history and campus lore.
The experience maps ten locations: a compact downtown walking route and an alternate driving map for outer neighborhoods. Professional voice actors portray 16 characters; the audio-driven structure asks you to park or pause at each waypoint, listen closely, gather clues, and submit deductions. The built-in scoring system ranks your performance and supports solo sleuthing, paired play, or group competition.
Practicalities matter. Booked anytime and playable after confirmation, the game lasts about 2.5 hours with flexible breaks. You’ll need a charged smartphone, headphones, and basic urban navigation; walking routes cross sidewalks and occasional uneven brick, while driving routes require safe roadside stops. The story contains mature language—best for adults or older teens.
Plan for battery, weather, and quiet listening. Move deliberately: observation beats speed. With a charged phone and a pair of earbuds, Ann Arbor becomes a live crime scene—familiar streets turned new by the hunt for answers.
