The downtown streets of Fairbanks take on a new shape when you become a detective: storefronts quiet, alleyways waiting, and the Chena River daring you to look closer. This audio-led mystery drops you at ten mapped locations across the city — choose a compact walking route through historic blocks or take the driving map that reaches quieter outskirts — and the story unfolds through professional voice actors as you collect clues and weigh evidence.
Fairbanks grew fast during Alaska’s early 20th-century gold rush; its grid of roads and patchwork of civic buildings still carry that pragmatic energy, which provides a gritty backdrop for a modern whodunit. The city sits on river gravel and discontinuous permafrost; in summer the Chena swells with meltwater, and winter lays a hush over the streets — both settings add texture to the narrative.
Culturally, the game brushes against local color: you’ll pass cafes that breathe northern fare and murals that mark Fairbanks’ frontier history. Expect urban walking surfaces, short road drives, and stops where audio cues require quiet listening.
Practical guidance: download the Hearo app and charge your device before you start, bring earbuds for clear narration, and plan 2–3 hours with pauses for note-taking or photos. If you walk, wear sturdy shoes and layer for changing Alaskan weather. The experience is flexible — play solo, pair up, or split into teams — and the app’s live GPS and scoring system keeps the pace moving while you solve the case.
