5.00I live in Bellingham and through this tour was able to see places I had never noticed before. Very comfortable walking distance, the mystery was well thought out and just challenging enough.
Very dissappointed

1.00The frustration that, even when answering the questions perfectly, we were marked as wrong. Ex: entered “Trader Joe’s” and marked wrong! Also, some of the character development efforts were overblown. Many were not well phrased and the accents assumed were sadly poorly executed.
Fun!

4.00Solving the mystery and driving around Bellingham was pretty fun. There was a lot of different things to download before we could start, but once we had everything downloaded it was smooth sailing
It was ok. Odd

3.00We got 3 questions right. Have compass and writing paper. Also do the walking one. I did the driving and hit traffic.
Great time solving a mystery as a family

4.00This was a lot of fun! It took longer than we expected but that is probably because we took our time. The clues were great and the storyline was well thought through. Some of the quiz questions were not clear and one specifically we couldn't figure out how we got it wrong but it was a great experience!!
Not suitable for children!!!

4.00This game was fun and well thought out but I didn’t appreciate the foul language and inappropriate discriptions. It would still be a great game without all inappropriate stuff. Please put a warning before we buy the game as it wasn’t warned until after I purchased. Thank you.
Great time!

5.00This was a good way to see a new city while also having some fun together! We did the driving version but would do the walking one another time just to have a guided tour from a different perspective. I recommend this! We took notes and re-listened to clues to help us solve the crime. You also only need to pay for the number of devices you plan to use the app on, not the number of actual people helping.
Very immersive and easy to navigate! Highly recommend for a nice walk around downtown with some friends/families

5.00This is so much fun my friend and I were so pleasantly surprised! The app is really accessible and all audio is transcribed which was really helpful when reviewing evidence. There’s real voice acting so it feels like a high quality game. It’s contained to downtown and takes you by all the things downtown Bellingham has to offer. We got a bit tired in the middle and just spent some time at a bar until we were ready to continue. Make sure to only buy enough for the devices you need. I bought two because it was my friend and I, but we only used my phone so there wasn’t a need for the second ticket. If you’re going to share bring wire headphones so else just play it on speaker like we did. Super fun I would recommend it was so much fun to gossip and come up with theories based on the clues given. We also solved the murder so that was a fun victory in the end 🤓
Well thought out, fun game that gets you outside!

5.00We loved the detective experience! We thought it was well thought out and loved getting some fresh air and exercise while playing a fun game. We got in 9,500 steps! Was nice to be able to go at our own pace too, we stopped a few times for drinks, lunch, and ice cream. My only feedback is about the quiz questions at the end of each section -- I SWEAR we got the directions correct (used a compass) but about half of them said we were wrong. Wasn't a huge deal, as it didn't affect us catching the killer (which we did!), was just a little frustrating. But overall we had a great day with it, will def be recommending to friends!
