You set out from a busy downtown corner, earbuds in and phone lit, as Burlington’s streets begin to speak. The city hums — vendors, distant ferry horns on Lake Champlain, and the occasional cyclist threading through Church Street — while an on‑phone voice hands you your first clue. The audio pulls you into alleys and storefronts, asking you to notice what most passersby miss.

You set out from a busy downtown corner, earbuds in and phone lit, as Burlington’s streets begin to speak. The city hums — vendors, distant ferry horns on Lake Champlain, and the occasional cyclist threading through Church Street — while an on‑phone voice hands you your first clue. The audio pulls you into alleys and storefronts, asking you to notice what most passersby miss.
This experience dovetails modern storytelling with Burlington’s old‑port past. The Champlain Basin’s glacial geology shaped the harbor; 19th‑century shipbuilding and lumber trade seeded the streets you’ll pass. Local culture shows up in murals, independent shops, and a strong performing‑arts scene — all of which the game uses as backdrop and misdirection.
Expect a mapped route with ten stops and 16 voiced characters delivering plot beats. You can choose a downtown walking map or a driving map that extends to the outskirts; Normal and Hard modes change clue density and penalty rules. The app records your Case Performance Score, so teamwork and attention matter.
Practical notes: plan 2–3 hours, carry a fully charged phone, and bring earbuds for clear audio. The game is flexible — start any time after booking — but loud or crowded conditions can mask dialogue, so aim for morning or late afternoon for clearer streets. You’ll need minimal fitness: mostly flat pavement with short blocks. In winter, choose the driving map; in summer, take your time and enjoy waterfront detours. Follow local signage, respect private property, and back up your play with a paper map if signal falters.
No — once you receive confirmation you can begin the self‑guided audio experience any time; the app is available on demand.
The number of tickets equals the number of devices you may use; up to two people per device is recommended for clear listening.
The content contains mature themes and profanity; parental discretion is advised and some sections may not be appropriate for younger children.
The app includes a live map and turn‑by‑turn directions but carry a photo of the route or a paper map as backup if connectivity becomes intermittent.
