Murder Mystery Detective Game in Lewiston ME: Solve the Case

Gather clues across Lewiston and crack the case before time runs out

A self-guided murder mystery audio game in Lewiston ME where you visit 10 mapped locations, listen to a story voiced by professional actors, collect evidence, and solve a crime. Choose between a walking route through downtown or a driving route on the city's outskirts; the experience runs roughly 2.5 hours and includes a built-in scoring system to measure your detective performance.

The Experience

You arrive at your starting point—revealed after booking—with a smartphone and the game map loaded. Commander Mahoney briefs you on the case: a murder on Lewiston's streets, and you're the detective tasked with solving it. The audio story unfolds as you move between the 10 locations, with 16 unique characters voiced by professional actors guiding you through the investigation. At each stop, you listen to the next piece of the narrative, gather clues from the scene, and piece together what happened.

The walking map takes you through downtown Lewiston; the driving map covers the outskirts. If you're on foot, the app includes turn-by-turn GPS directions and works best with earbuds and a maximum of two people per device so everyone hears the audio clearly. If you're driving, one person can listen through the car's sound system while the whole vehicle follows along. You set the pace—take breaks whenever you need them, and the experience stretches across roughly 2.5 hours depending on how long you linger at each location.

As you gather evidence, you'll face decisions that shape your investigation. The game offers two difficulty levels: Normal Mode for a straightforward mystery, or Hard Mode if you want a deeper detective challenge. A built-in scoring system tracks your performance, whether you're working solo, as a pair, or competing in teams. At the end, you make your deductions and issue an arrest warrant—then your Case Performance Score reveals how well you solved the crime.

Is this one for you?If you're staying downtown or without a car, the walking map keeps the investigation on foot with GPS guidance; if you're driving or prefer to stay warm, the driving route covers the outskirts and plays through your vehicle's speakers so you don't need a separate device for each person.

Top questions

Can I play this game with a group, or is it just for one person?

The murder mystery game works for solo detectives, pairs, or larger groups. If you're walking, you can have up to two people per device; if you're driving, the whole vehicle listens together through the car's speakers. Teams can also compete against each other using the built-in scoring system.

What's the difference between the walking map and the driving map?

The walking map takes you through downtown Lewiston on foot with GPS turn-by-turn directions; the driving map covers the city's outskirts and is designed to be followed from a vehicle. Both visit 10 mapped locations and include the same story and clues—you choose based on whether you want to explore on foot or by car.

Do I need to bring headphones, or can I listen without them?

For the walking map, earbuds or headphones are strongly recommended so you hear the audio clearly and don't miss dialogue or clues. If you're driving, you can play the audio through your car's sound system instead.

What happens if I get stuck or need help during the game?

Customer service help is available if you run into trouble. You'll have the contact information in your confirmation email or text after booking.

Is this suitable for teenagers, or is it adults only?

The experience is rated for ages 18 and up because it contains adult material including profanity and references to mature content. It's not recommended for younger players.

How long does the whole experience take?

The murder mystery game runs approximately 2.5 hours, though you can take breaks at any point and move at your own pace, so the actual time depends on how long you spend investigating each location.
