Step off the sidewalk and the city speaks: the click of a courthouse hinge, a distant train, and then a voice in your ear—Commander Mahoney setting the scene. You follow the map as the sun slants across downtown Carson City, pausing at ten plotted locations where audio segments unwrap clues, characters and red herrings. The game turns ordinary storefronts and alleyways into crime-scene stages; a bench, a lamppost and an empty lot become evidence.

Step off the sidewalk and the city speaks: the click of a courthouse hinge, a distant train, and then a voice in your ear—Commander Mahoney setting the scene.

Carson City’s streets carry a layered history. Once a supply hub for Comstock Lode miners, the town became Nevada’s capital and holds late-19th-century brick façades and the State Capitol amid a landscape defined by the eastern Sierra Nevada and the Carson Range. Geology shows here in distant ridgelines and the slow meander of the Carson River, and local culture leans practical and plainspoken—exactly the kind of place a detective would study for motive and means.
Practical guidance: the experience runs about 2–3 hours and is delivered through a mobile app with both walking and driving map options. Bring earbuds or use your car stereo for the driving route. The story has two difficulty levels and a built-in scoring system for teams or solo players. Pace yourself — stop to read plaques and take notes — and obey traffic laws if you’re following the driving map.
Expect short bursts of walking, urban navigation, and audio-driven puzzles rather than strenuous hikes. Battery life, clear audio and situational awareness are essential; play during daylight for best visibility and to catch the city’s historical markers and subtle local details.
After booking you’ll receive instructions to download the Hearo app and the specific game files; open the app at the listed starting point and follow the on-screen prompts.
The content includes mature themes and profanity; organizers advise discretion—check descriptions and consider using the driving mode for families.
Yes — the experience is self-paced; you can pause between scenes, take breaks, and resume where you left off.
There’s customer support contact info in your confirmation. Also download the app and test audio before you start and carry a charged power bank.
