Enjoyable Day With Family - We did the walking murder mystery. It took us around town and to some places we hadn’t seen before. Because it’s self paced we stopped for iced tea then again for a sweet treat. We cut out one location to save time but the location picture, the map and the audio clues had all we needed. We made our arrest over dinner and all in all it was a lovely day with family. There is some adult language and innuendo but the teenager with us had a fun time and enjoyed participating. We will do the driving game next time we visit.

A novel experience, but needs to be kept up to date. - Some of the clues were out dated as the businesses they referenced are no longer there. One of the clues is excessively far from all the others which are roughly grouped together. It was .4 miles away from the others (.8 round trip) and was in an industrial district with lots of traffic noise and not the best for walking. (This is the Bend Oregon mystery)

We were trying - The audio instructions were hard to follow. We ended up in a sketchy part of town after dark. We got tired and hungry and decided to end our quest. I would not book this activity again.

Great Fun, but Don’t Take Your Bus! - I am activity director in a senior living community. I took a group of 6 on the Motive for Murder ride. It was great fun. We solved the murder. However, the route was not ideal for a 14 passenger bus. Of course it’s not intended to be a tour bus sort of thing. I would certainly schedule another trip, if I had a smaller vehicle to use.

Could have been better. - We did the driving version. It would have been better if it had something to do with Bend. This could have been a lot more interesting. We did learn to listen to the audio while driving so we didn't just sit parked listening. The locations had very little to do with the story. Probably won't do one again in a different city.

Not what I expected - This is not what I was expecting. It’s self guided. There are very few pictures and no video. If you like listening to audio books you might like this. I wanted something more interactive.
