This activity is like ‘Pokémon Go’ meets ‘Escape Room!’ You can sign up for the activity through ‘Trip Advisor’ or the ‘Hearo’ app that is free in the App Store. Once you pay & get the app, you will be texted a code to download the game on your iPhone that has Marvel style graphics, character profiles/clue info via audio, location pictures and driving links that easily connected to my car nav system through my Apply Car Play. All the paid people in your group can use the code to download the game on different phones so everyone in the group can access the game independently. Both people in my group downloaded the game, with one phone connected to the car Nav system and the other phone used to listen to the audio clues while we drove. One phone may have done both tasks through Apple Car Play, we just didn’t try it. They suggest head phones/ear buds but we didn’t use them bc we listened together with the volume up on the phone while driving. I DO however suggest bringing a notebook/pen to write down and keep up with info/clues given through the audio portions of the game. You will be guided to 11 different (safe) locations that included the parking lots of a medical center, restaurant, shopping centers, park and more. Most locations were in well known parts of Ashburn/Sterling with a variety of popular restaurants nearby the game locations to stop for food during the game. It was not necessary to ever get out of the car to answer the location questions that earn you points in the game. We did this at night with ease but day time might be better if you aren’t familiar with the area. Since it is self guided, once you pay/download the game, you can start at anytime and take as long as you want. However, I’m not sure if the code eventually times out. For me, everything was still accessible with the original code at least 24 hours after I purchased it. We were two adult friends doing this activity for a birthday celebration but it would be good for couples, groups of adults or teenagers, however, due to the occasional curse words and slightly violent content, I don’t recommend it for younger children. I think it could be done solo, as well, but it might take longer than the indicated time bc it would be difficult to drive and write down clues from the audio at the same time. If you are a mystery buff or interested in learning about popular areas in the Ashburn/Sterling, VA location, I would recommend you give this a try.
