You’ll step into Lawton’s streets as a rookie detective, piecing together clues from real locations with help from an audio guide and lively characters. Choose walking or driving routes and play at your own pace—pause for snacks or debates whenever you like. By the end, you’ll have issued your own arrest warrant and maybe found yourself second-guessing every suspect.
You know that weird feeling when you’re standing on a street corner in downtown Lawton, phone in hand, trying to look casual while secretly listening for clues about a murder? That was me about three minutes after starting this detective game. Our audio guide (Commander Mahoney—his voice is kind of gruff but oddly comforting) set the scene right away. I could smell coffee from a nearby café mixing with the dust kicked up by passing trucks. My friend Sam kept pausing to point out details—“Was that alley always here?”—as we followed the walking map from one spot to the next.
We’d stop at each mapped location, sometimes next to an old mural or outside a bakery where someone inside gave us a curious wave. The story unfolds through these sharp little audio snippets—16 different voices, all pretty convincing. At one point I tried to guess who was lying, but honestly, I was way off (Sam still teases me about it). We played on normal mode because hard mode sounded... well, hard. But even then there were moments where we had to pause and argue over evidence. If you want, you can do the driving map instead—it’s the same murder mystery detective experience but warmer if it’s cold out.
I liked that we could take breaks whenever—a quick snack run or just sitting on a bench listening to the next twist in the story. It didn’t feel rushed at all. There’s this built-in scoring thing too; apparently our “case performance” wasn’t exactly Sherlock-level, but we did manage an arrest warrant by the end (not saying who we picked). The whole thing took us about two and a half hours, give or take snack time. And yeah, I still think about that one clue near the courthouse—how did we miss it?
