Hamburg Self-Guided Detective Murder Mystery Game

About this experience

The starting point is the Rathausmarkt in Hamburg, in front of the Rathaus, and the route works its way south towards the water. It runs through the warehouse blocks of the Speicherstadt and out to the Elbphilharmonie at the edge of the harbour. This is a self-guided murder mystery game, with the working city of Hamburg around you the whole way. Hamburg spreads out, and this route covers a fair stretch of it, so count on real walking between clues. Families with children, groups of friends, couples and colleagues all cope with that, and it is equally fine on your own. A team is up to four people with one phone between them, and larger groups divide into several teams. Nobody guides you and no start time is set, so you choose when to cross the bridges. How to play. Four steps put you on the trail in Hamburg. Book the City Game. Check the instructions email. Download the Loquiz app. Start playing whenever you like. The case concerns the murder of Balthasar. You work through codes, complete photo tasks at set locations, and weigh the statements of digital characters who contradict one another. The Chilehaus and the St. Nikolai Memorial both belong to the route, and each solved clue narrows the list of names. More than one team on the same case makes it a race, and that is what turns it into a teambuilding exercise rather than just a walk. Pause at the waterfront, start again when you feel like it, and finish the investigation in Hamburg on…
