You step out on a cool Indiana morning with your phone in hand and a recorded voice that hands you a badge and a case file. The city sounds — delivery trucks, distant college chatter, and the Wabash River’s current nudging at its banks — become your background score as you move from stop to stop, each audio chapter dropping a new clue.
Lafayette sits on the Wabash floodplain, a river town shaped by glacial melt and 19th-century industry; its courthouse square and brick storefronts tell a compact story of Midwestern growth. The audio drama threads through those layers, using downtown alleys, public art, and riverside viewpoints as scene pieces while peppering in local color: the city’s ties to Purdue across the river, its late-1800s manufacturing roots, and a civic grit that rewards observation.
Expect 10 mapped locations across roughly 2–3 hours; choose a compact walking route through downtown or a driving loop that reaches quieter neighborhoods. The experience is self-guided via an app with GPS turn-by-turn, professional voice actors, and a scoring mechanic that ranks your deductions.
Practical notes: earbuds make dialogue crisp; keep one device per small team for the best audio clarity. Urban navigation is mostly flat pavement but includes curbs and occasional stairways. Play during daylight for easier clue-spotting and to avoid traffic congestion on the driving route. Leave room for coffee breaks at local cafes and for replaying sections if you miss evidence.
This is an outdoor-forward, accessible city game — bring charged batteries, sensible shoes, and a curious eye.

Lafayette was founded in the early 19th century along the Wabash River and named for the Marquis de Lafayette; the downtown reflects a layered industrial and academic past tied to nearby Purdue University.
Stick to sidewalks and public spaces, avoid trampling riverfront vegetation, and carry out any trash—urban games can increase foot traffic in sensitive areas.
