    A dangerous scam

    My entire family were scared/frightened for our life from people threatening us and the points leaded us to sketchy places. I want a refund and this is not a safe place. And also my daughter who’s 13 was frightened by some big scary, black man and then these bums we’re looking at us all and making derogatory statements towards us telling us we need to go back to where we came from. I can’t believe you all haven’t got sued yet and putting families in danger unnecessarily.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry you felt unsafe - unexpected encounters in public areas can be unsettling. Although the game is advertised as an adults‑only activity due to mature themes and content, we understand some guests may still bring younger participants. If you’re willing to email us the specific locations where this happened, our team would appreciate it and can review the route for any needed updates. Neighbourhoods can change over time, and player feedback helps us keep things current and comfortable for everyone. Our email address is info@iamhearo.com. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience with us.

    Good time

    It was fun. Instructions would have been easier to understand if we would have had a video to watch with it.

    Response from the operator: Thanks for the feedback! We're glad you had fun with your investigation in Sioux Falls. 🔎 A video walkthrough is a great suggestion, and we’ll keep it in mind as we look at ways to make the experience even smoother.

    It was fun. Did the driving one but one good started and to first location wasn't very much driving. Could minutes per location. The overall game/ tour was fun

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback Juston! We are so glad you found the overall game and tour fun.

    Nice idea but boring.

    Nice idea but completely boring. The story excerpts were way too long. Answering the questions about the places we went were not even necessary for the game. Not worth the price paid.

    Response from the operator: Sorry to hear this wasn't quite what you expected, Kristi. We're glad you liked the concept and appreciate you leaving a review.

    Escape room not scavenger hunt

    We enjoyed the game. However, it was more like an escape room than scavenger hunt, which is what we were expecting. We’ve done many scavenger hunts and they always take us to points & places of interests in cities. This was not that, we could have played without ever moving, so somewhat disappointing.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts! We'll take your comments into consideration to improve the experience.

    Murder Mystery Detective Experience in Sioux Falls SD: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sioux Falls.

    How much does Murder Mystery Detective Experience in Sioux Falls SD cost?

    +

    Prices start at $15 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sioux Falls usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Murder Mystery Detective Experience in Sioux Falls SD take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sioux Falls is not rushed.

    Is Murder Mystery Detective Experience in Sioux Falls SD worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 39 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.2/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sioux Falls, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Murder Mystery Detective Experience in Sioux Falls SD?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Murder Mystery Detective Experience in Sioux Falls SD suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Murder Mystery Detective Experience in Sioux Falls SD?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sioux Falls can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sioux Falls and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Murder Mystery Detective Experience in Sioux Falls SD start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sioux Falls within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Sioux Falls?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Sioux Falls experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Downtown Sioux Falls Food Tour, Fun City Scavenger Hunt in Sioux Falls by 3Quest Challenge, Adventurous Scavenger Hunt in Sioux Falls by Operation City Quest. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Sioux Falls?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Sioux Falls?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
