The air on Yakima Avenue tastes like coffee and late-spring dust as you press play and the first voice instructs you to scan the street for clues. The game's audio pulls you into downtown Yakima, moving you from storefronts to quieter side streets and, if you choose the driving map, out toward the city's outskirts where the road opens and the river dares you to keep pace.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

The air on Yakima Avenue tastes like coffee and late-spring dust as you press play and the first voice instructs you to scan the street for clues. The game's audio pulls you into downtown Yakima, moving you from storefronts to quieter side streets and, if you choose the driving map, out toward the city's outskirts where the road opens and the river dares you to keep pace.
Yakima sits on land long inhabited by the Yakama Nation and later shaped by orchards, rail lines, and irrigation canals that made the valley a fruit-growing powerhouse. The city’s flat basalt plains and meandering Yakima River create a simple urban geometry—blocks, bridges, and riparian greenways—that the mystery uses to stage its scenes.
This experience walks through civic history and contemporary culture: murals, mid-century storefronts, and pockets of industrial yards that hint at the town’s agricultural backbone. Expect paved sidewalks, short staircases, on-street parking, and stretches of streetscape where you’ll step off the curb to listen closely to a clue.
Practical guide: the experience runs about 2½ hours, split across 10 mapped stops. You can do it on foot (best for close observation) or by car (better if you prefer to stay warm or cover more ground). Download the Hearo app, charge your phone, and bring earbuds—audio clarity changes the game. Play solo, compete in teams, or split devices and compare Case Performance Scores. Keep respect for private property, follow traffic laws, and plan for stops at local cafes or the Yakima Riverwalk between chapters.

Yakima grew around irrigation and rail; the valley’s orchards and Yakama Nation heritage shape the town’s layout and cultural sites you’ll pass.
Stay on public sidewalks and marked paths, pack out trash, and respect riverbank restoration areas—urban ecosystems here are sensitive to litter and off‑trail use.
