You start at a street corner in downtown Tupelo with your phone in your palm and a case file in your ears — the city hums around you: a delivery truck rumbles by, a dog barks from a porch, and the audio narrator hands you your first clue.
The game threads through 10 mapped locations, alternating between brick-front storefronts, municipal parks, and quieter residential lanes. Tupelo’s downtown grew up around cotton and rail in the 19th century; traces of that history are visible in the red-brick facades and the nearby Civil War battlefield markers. To the east and north, low rolling hills give way to the broader Tombigbee watershed — not mountain drama, but enough change in grade to keep a walking route lively.
This experience leans on local color: references to hometown characters, a measured dose of Southern humor, and nods toward Tupelo’s place in American pop culture (Elvis’s birthplace is minutes away). The audio drama features 16 professionally voiced characters and a built-in scoring system that evaluates how well you process clues.
Practical guidance: choose the walking map if you want street-level detail and up-close observations; choose the driving map to cover outskirts or avoid heat. Bring fully charged devices and earbuds — clear audio is essential. Expect about 2–3 hours of playtime with flexible breaks; the app lets you pause and resume. Respect private property and local traffic rules when parking or stepping out to listen. Whether solo or in a group, the experience rewards attention to detail and a willingness to ask questions — and it’s an easy, low-impact way to see a slice of Tupelo while playing detective.
