The city is the show.
Just press play.
Self-guided audio tours with stories worth retelling, a narrator worth quoting, and a game that keeps everyone guessing.
Same city. Very different tour.
Most audio tours read like a textbook. Ours read like the best conversation you've ever overheard.
"The Willis Tower, formerly known as the Sears Tower, was completed in 1973. At 1,450 feet, it held the record as the world's tallest building for 25 years. The building was designed by the architectural firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill and contains 104 elevators."
"The Willis Tower — and if you call it that to a local, they will correct you — was the world's tallest building for 25 years. That's 25 years of pure, uninterrupted bragging, which in Chicago is basically the entire point of building anything."
No group. No schedule. Start when you want. Pause for coffee. The audio plays as you walk.
Everything is true. Except a few things aren't.
Every tour mixes real history with convincing fiction. At the end, you guess which is which. Try it now.
Chicago reversed the flow of an entire river so its sewage would stop poisoning its drinking water.

That's what every tour feels like. Stories so good you can't tell what's real.
Ask the narrator anything
Curious about something you just heard? Want to know more about a building you're standing in front of? Ask a question and get an answer — in character, in context, about exactly where you are.
Bring friends for $4.99
Add up to 3 friends to any tour. Everyone gets the full experience on their own phone — same stories, same game, same arguments about what's real.
Where are you headed?
Each city has its own stories, characters, and surprises.
Good places to start
Pick a city. Pick a tour. The stories do the rest.
People keep telling us about it
"The kids didn't look at their phones once. We're still arguing about which stories were real. Doing another city next month."
"I've lived in New Orleans for 12 years and I learned things I'd never heard before. Also the narrator is hilarious. I was laughing out loud on the street."
"Way better than a guided group tour. We went at our own speed, took breaks when we wanted, and the quiz at the end actually made us pay attention to the stories."
