Emmen Self-Guided Detective Murder Mystery Game

About this experience

Emmen begins at the Grote of Pancratiuskerk, the old church in the centre, where the case notes are handed over. The route leads from there into Rensenpark and back through the streets around it. It is a detective game on foot, and the walking is short enough that the puzzles set the pace rather than the distance. The centre of Emmen is compact and level, and much of the route is free of traffic, which makes it easy going for families with children, groups of friends, couples and colleagues, and just as workable alone. A team is a maximum of four people sharing one phone, and larger groups buy extra tickets and go out as separate teams. Nobody guides you and there is no set start time, so a quiet weekday morning works as well as a Saturday. How to play. Four steps and the game in Emmen is under way:. Book the City Game. Check the instructions email. Download the Loquiz app. Start playing whenever you like. The case is the murder of Balthasar. Codes get broken, photo tasks get completed, and digital characters give statements that do not survive comparison. Part of the trail runs along Wildlands and through the centre of Emmen, and every correct answer strikes another name off the list. Two teams or more turn it into a race, which is what makes this a workable teambuilding activity as well as a family afternoon. Break when you want, continue when you want, and finish the case in Emmen.
