On a crisp morning the Big Sioux River pushes past quartzite ledges and the city hum—your narrator says a crime has been committed. You start at a revealed downtown point or Park Access Road, plug in earbuds and let actors guide you through ten mapped locations where storefronts, alleys and parks become crime scenes.
Sioux Falls’ identity is geological as much as civic: the exposed Sioux quartzite at Falls Park and the river that carved it shaped local industry and settlement. The audio drama leans on that gritty civic history—references to early milling, the river crossings and the downtown grid give context to clues and characters.
Culturally the game taps downtown life: municipal sculpture, a working farmers’ scene in summer, and neighborhoods where old brick fronts stand shoulder-to-shoulder with 20th-century facades. The production features 16 professional voices and a built-in scoring system that evaluates deductions and evidence-gathering.
Practical guide: the experience runs about 2–3 hours and is playable any time after booking. Choose Walking for fresh-air navigation or Driving to keep warm and cover larger sections. Download the Hearo app, fully charge your phone, and use earbuds for best audio clarity. Expect light urban walking on paved sidewalks, short detours across small parks, and stopping at public spaces—accessible but variable terrain. Play solo, in pairs or as a small competitive group; ticket count equals devices. Weather can change river breezes quickly—layer up. The game contains mature content and is best for teens and adults. Finish by issuing an arrest warrant and compare your Case Performance Score—detective work rewarded with a clear, tactile sense of place.

Sioux Falls grew around the falls of the Big Sioux River; the exposed Sioux quartzite shaped early milling, quarrying and the city’s early layout.
