Maddness — Location-Based Murder Mystery A new case every week. Your city is the crime scene. Step into a noir world where real streets become crime scenes and every stranger might be a suspect. Maddness is a location-based murder mystery game that turns your neighborhood into an interactive detective story. Each week, a new victim. A new killer. A trail of clues scattered across real places near you — the coffee shop on the corner, the park down the street, the library you pass every day. Walk there. Investigate. Interrogate AI-powered suspects who lie, deflect, and slip up under pressure. HOW IT PLAYS • A mystery unfolds at real locations around you • Travel to each scene to collect clues and meet NPCs • Interrogate suspects — they respond dynamically with AI • Piece together the motive and accuse the killer • Team up with friends to cover more ground faster • Compete on the leaderboard to solve it first WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • No two conversations with an NPC are the same — they're AI-powered characters with secrets to keep • The story adapts to YOUR city — same mystery, different real-world locations for every player • Text-based atmosphere meets real-world exploration • Weekly episodes — fresh case every Monday • Play solo or form a team across different neighborhoods "You overhear a whispered conversation at the café nearby. A name you recognize. A motive you didn't expect. The pieces are falling into place — but so is the clock."
