Ames: Self-Guided Detective Murder Mystery Game

There's been a murder. Can you crack the case? Turn Ames into your detective playground in this self-guided audio mystery. Follow a GPS-guided walking or driving route between stops, listen to suspect interviews and anonymous calls, examine the evidence and issue your final arrest warrant. Explore downtown on foot or drive the outskirts. Both routes bring the same complete mystery to life. With 16 characters voiced by professional actors, Normal and Hard modes, and a final Case Performance Score, you can team up for a date or friends' outing, compete on separate devices, or investigate solo. Allow about 2.5 hours. Start at a time that suits you and pause for breaks. Your group plays independently, without a live guide. Book one ticket per device. For walking, we recommend up to two people per device; for driving, one shared device can serve the vehicle. Adult game: contains explicit content, profanity and references to sex, drugs and alcohol. Not suitable for younger audiences.
