You step off Congress Avenue into a story that soon has the city itself pointing facts at you: neon signs hum, the Colorado River glints like a clue, and alleyways dare you to look closer.
This audio-driven detective game drops you into modern Austin—where the city's live-music legacy and civic history provide texture to a fictional homicide. As you move between ten mapped locations, the script threads in local color: references to the Capitol, the river corridor, and neighborhoods that grew from Blackland Prairie and limestone outcrops into the urban grid you walk today.
Expect professional voice acting, branching clues, and a built-in scoring system that rates your deductions. The playing field is downtown for the walking map or suburban streets for the driving map; either way the game leans on on-the-ground observation, not forensic expertise. The challenge is as much about pattern recognition and timing as it is about stamina—listen carefully, collect evidence, and decide who to arrest.
Practical guidance: download the HearO app, bring fully charged phones and earbuds, and plan 2–3 hours with breaks. Walking routes move across sidewalks, plazas, and occasional stairs; driving routes require safe parking at stops. Be mindful of peak traffic and Austin’s summer heat—start early for cooler temperatures and clearer audio. The experience contains mature themes and profanity and is best for adults or older teens.
This is a city game—interpretation of place enhances the case. Keep your wits, shoes comfortable, and curiosity sharp.

Austin became the Republic of Texas capital in 1839; downtown streets follow patterns laid over limestone ridges and the Colorado River, shaping neighborhood development.
Stay on sidewalks and designated public spaces, pack out trash, and avoid disturbing the bat colony at dusk; urban wildlife and riverbanks are sensitive to noise and litter.
