About Hihō
Hihō turns the real world into a detective game.
Gather a party, step outside, and solve a mystery that only unlocks when you are actually standing at the location. Your phone is your casebook. The city is your crime scene.
FEATURED CASE: THE JOSHUA COIN
Winston-Salem, 1932. A prized coin has gone missing in the shadow of a scandal, and you have been hired to find the truth. Walk the same streets, question the same suspects, and piece together a noir mystery inspired by real history.
HOW IT PLAYS
- Travel to real landmarks. Each waypoint stays locked until you arrive.
- Search scenes by tapping and holding objects to collect clues and evidence.
- Crack safes, pick locks, and dig through ledgers and shipping manifests.
- Interrogate suspects through branching conversations where your choices matter.
- Build your casebook as the clues stack up, then make your accusation.
PLAY WITH YOUR PARTY
- Form a party and invite friends with a single link.
- Everyone stays in sync in real time, so the whole team sees each discovery.
- Chat in game and receive telegrams and hints from the Gamemaster.
- Climb the leaderboard and revisit your game history.
A VARIETY OF MINIGAMES
Lock picking, word searches, memory match, jigsaw puzzles, rhythm challenges, unscrambles, and more keep every location fresh.
Hihō is best played on foot with the people around you. Lace up, head out, and solve it together.
