Fun Solving the Case, but...

Dwayne_B, Jun 2026

The murder mystery was fun, but the locations were not. The locations were full of some very shady people which made us a bit uncomfortable. The police actually came into the area and were arresting some of them. We left the area to finished our deliberations and went back to our campground. My wife had done done a mystery in another city wherein the locations were quite nice. Overall, it was fun, but a bit disappointing in Fairbanks.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for the 4‑star review. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed solving the mystery and had fun with the case. We’re sorry to hear that the timing of your visit coincided with unrelated police activity in the area - that’s certainly not typical, and while it’s outside the scope of the game, we understand how it could affect the atmosphere in the moment. We appreciate you letting us know, and we’re happy you were still able to enjoy the story and finish your investigation.

Family Fun

Natalia_R, Jun 2026

Great quick fun event to do with family. It was pretty cool and definitely kept us guessing the entire time.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thanks so much for the positive review! We're glad we got to help give you a fun family activity and that our murder mystery kept you on your toes!

Fun experience

Kristi_W, Jan 2026

We are locals who were looking for something to do on a very cold night. Did the driving version. Once we figured out the flow on the app it got easier and we had a great time. It took us longer than 2.5 hours, but we were being very thorough. It was worth the cost.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you had a great time with the driving version - especially great to do on a cold Alaskan night!. We love hearing that it was worth the time and cost, and we appreciate you choosing to spend your evening with our adventure.

Good mystery, underwhelming walking route

Ashley_E, Jul 2024

Overall, we enjoyed the mystery and thought it was well laid out with enough info to solve without being too easy. However, we were underwhelmed by the walking route. Standing in front of a bar or hotel on the street doesn't really enhance the experience at all. Also more than one of the questions doesn't have the correct answer listed, clearly some parts of the town have changed.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We value all feedback, positive or negative, as it helps us improve. We will have our development team take a look at the questions to look for the changes you mentioned.

Fun, good exercise, slightly inaccurate info

Nicholas_T, Jul 2024

Was a fun experience, with some difficult questions in the detective quiz. However, some of the questions are either outdated or wrong with there not being a businees that was said to be correct with no indication of the item we were looking for, nor another building that just didn't exist. While they may have existed when the story was written, they either don't exist now or have gone through renovations since it was written.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thanks for your review and we are happy to hear you enjoyed the experience. We appreciate your feedback and will have our development team take a look and correct any changes that have happened after the game release.
