What’s more fun than living out your own cozy mystery?
We both love to explore real life mysteries. Well, sometimes it’s a nice break to get immersed in a fictional mystery story. And playing a free-to-download hidden object game June’s Journey is just like starring in your own caper!
This game is a great way to sharpen your observational skills and encourage yourself to take quick, reenergizing breaks throughout the day. You play as June Parker, a flapper-slash-sleuth who navigates Jazz Age mysteries with aplomb!
In between levels, you can also build up your own fancy island estate, and you know we're all about that. Plant flowers, float on swan ponds, and set loose a beautiful horse. It’s fun!
We enjoy playing this game when we’re waiting around for a source to call us back, or when we’re stuck outside waiting for a courthouse to open up. It’s great fun.
Discover your inner detective when you download June’s Journey for free today on iOS and Android.

| 0:00.0 | In-depth journalism is more important than ever in a complicated chaotic time. |
| 0:05.0 | That's why we listen to NPR's Thru Line. |
| 0:08.5 | This is a podcast that appeals to us on so many levels. |
| 0:12.0 | As history buffs, we love their historical contextualization of |
| 0:15.4 | important ongoing issues. As storytellers, we love the engaging way they |
| 0:20.1 | approach and often humanize complicated tales. |
| 0:23.2 | As news consumers who want to stay informed, we love the way they give the story behind the big stories of the day. |
| 0:29.2 | We try to take a similar approach on the murder sheet and we feel confident that our |
| 0:34.2 | listeners would enjoy giving NPR's throughline a try. We've been going through their |

| 0:43.0 | One favorite of mine was their episode about Andrew Johnson's impeachment. |
| 0:47.2 | Thru Lines coverage didn't disappoint, delving in depth into one of history's worst |

| 0:52.8 | They also did an episode which was rather pertinent to our work, |
| 0:55.8 | and that was the one they did about the proliferation of conspiracy theories |
| 0:59.8 | and how they've always been part of America's DNA. That's something I think about quite a lot given |
| 1:05.1 | the creep of misinformation and manipulation in online true crime spaces. |
| 1:10.4 | NBR's Thruline is a source we trust. They're all about nuance and depth and unpacking the messiness behind |
| 1:16.6 | outwardly simple stories. Go back in time, learn something new, emerge more knowledgeable |
| 1:22.1 | about today's headlines. |
| 1:23.8 | Listen now to Thruline from NPR, wherever you get your podcasts. |
