You step off Franklin Street with a phone in your palm and a clipped voice in your ear: Commander Mahoney assigns the case, and the city rearranges itself into clues and corners. The Androscoggin’s mills loom nearby, their brick faces keeping watch as you thread through ten mapped locations—sidewalks, small parks, and streets that feel more like pages in a case file.

You step off Franklin Street with a phone in your palm and a clipped voice in your ear: Commander Mahoney assigns the case, and the city rearranges itself into clues and corners. The Androscoggin’s mills loom nearby, their brick faces keeping watch as you thread through ten mapped locations—sidewalks, small parks, and streets that feel more like pages in a case file.
Lewiston’s past reads like the backdrop to a crime novel: 19th-century textile mills on the riverbank, a dense Franco‑American culture born of migratory labor, and a downtown grid shaped by industry. The geology is gentle—river flats and modest rises—so the route favors pavement over trail and history over altitude. Expect urban textures: mill brick, veteran maples, and the river daring you to look across to Auburn.
The experience runs roughly 150 minutes and is delivered through the Hearo app. Choose the walking map to feel the city underfoot (about 1.5–3 miles depending on detours) or the driving map to keep warm and cover wider ground. Audio drama uses 16 voiced characters and a built‑in scoring system; play solo, pair up on one device, or compete with multiple devices. Earbuds help; clear playback is central to catching timed clues.
Practical planning: charge your phone, carry a portable battery, and pick comfortable shoes—Lewiston’s streets are straightforward but sometimes uneven. Start in daylight to read signs and notice subtle details, and respect local businesses and residents when pausing to listen. The game contains mature language, so plan family groups accordingly. With a little prep, the city becomes a playable map, and your deductions are the route home.
The walking map begins at the downtown starting point noted in your confirmation; the driving map lists 43 Franklin St, Lewiston, ME as its starting location.
Yes—the audio game is available on demand after you receive the confirmation and app instructions, so you can start at a time that suits you.
For walking maps, organizers recommend up to two people per device for clear audio; for driving maps a single device can serve an entire vehicle.
The experience includes adult language and mature themes, so it may not be suitable for younger children—check content warnings before bringing family groups.
