Select participants and date
You start with earbuds in and a city that suddenly feels purposive — lamplights flicker, seagulls argue overhead, and the Atlantic sits indifferent a few blocks away. A recorded voice hands you a case file and a rank: newly minted detective. The first clue drops at a corner deli; the next demands you park and step into a plaza where a street musician provides more than atmosphere. The city begins to rearrange itself into a crime scene and you follow.

Adventure Tips
Charge your phone
The Hearo app is essential; bring a fully charged device and a backup battery for uninterrupted audio.
Bring earbuds
Clear audio is critical to catch dialogue and clues—use earbuds rather than relying on a car speaker for the walking map.
Pace your route
Plan for 2–3 hours and take breaks; some stops are best experienced slowly so you don't miss subtle voice cues.
Respect private property
Park only in designated areas and read local signage when exploring quieter neighborhoods off the boardwalk.
