Tons of fun once you get going

Julie_M, Apr 2026

Lots of fun take your time. There was some confusion for us because we never got the "before you go email" and the directions to start the game after the tutorial was over were a bit confusing. Once we made our way through downloading two different apps and figured out the steps we had a blast. We did have a couple of times where the questions didn't take our answers even though we were correct it marked us wrong that kind of thing but no big deal there. (My partner was worried about her score)

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thanks for the great feedback - we’re glad you had a great time once things got rolling. The “Before You Go” instructions are automatically sent through Viator’s messaging system, and we understand the frustration at missing them. We’re always working within their format to make the setup as clear as possible. If you remember which stops have misaligned answers we would appreciate it if you could please email us at info@iamhearo.com, we’d be happy to take a look and make any necessary updates. Thanks again for playing - and tell your partner her score absolutely counts! 🕵️‍♀️💯

Springfield Murder.

Directions need some work. Mapquest or google maps , whichever Viator uses, missed the mark quite often. Without the photo clue it would be tough to follow.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thanks so much for the review! We really appreciate your feedback about the directions and will take a look at where we can improve clarity. Notes like this help us continue refining the experience for future players.

This was a ton of fun, I...

This was a ton of fun, I have visited Springfield off and on for my whole life and didn’t realize how much of the city I was actually missing until this tour took me there - we did the driving option.
