Argostolion Self-Guided Detective Murder Mystery Game

About this experience

In Argostolion the case begins at the Nomarchía and heads for Vallianos Square, the open space at the heart of the town. From there the route follows Lithostroto, the paved street running through the centre, and reaches the water at the De Bosset Bridge across the lagoon. It is a self-guided murder mystery game, played from a phone, at your own pace. Argostolion is compact and flat along the front, with only a gentle rise behind it, so families with children, friends, couples and colleagues all cope with the distance, and solo play works too. One phone serves a team of up to four; larger groups buy another ticket and split. There is no guide walking with you and no fixed start time to catch, so the day stays yours to arrange. How to play. The game runs through a single app on your phone. Book the City Game. Check the instructions email. Download the Loquiz app. Start playing whenever you like. The investigation concerns the murder of Balthasar. Statements from digital characters, coded messages and photo tasks come one after another, and the details you need turn up near the Kefalos Theatre, in the shade of the Napier Garden and by the doors of Agios Spyridon Church. The Korgialenios Museum and Campana Square both figure before the last suspect is left standing. Two or more teams make it a contest, with the totals settled at the end, which is why the game also does duty as a teambuilding activity. Stop for a coffee on the square, take it up…
