Myrtle Beach Murder Mystery: Audio Detective Walking & Driving Game
Plug in, press play and become the detective in a 2.5-hour audio-driven whodunit through Myrtle Beach. Choose a walking route downtown or a driving map for the outskirts, follow ten clue stops, and piece together a case judged by a built-in scoring system.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring earbuds and a power bank
Clear audio is crucial; use earbuds for dialogue and pack a battery pack — this experience relies on your phone for maps and voice cues.
Limit two players per device
The narrative is written for clear listening; share devices sparingly for the best clarity and scoring accuracy.
Plan your route by weather
Summer heat demands early starts or the driving option; stormy days can make walking uncomfortable—check forecasts before you go.
Parking and traffic
If using the driving map, factor in time for short parking stops near each point — downtown parking rules can change seasonally.
