Hurghada Self-Guided Detective Murder Mystery Game

About this experience

Hurghada's game begins on Abdolmoneim Ridh Square, in front of the Abdulmoneim Riadh Mosque, and works into the older streets around it. It passes Misr Public Library and continues towards El Dahar Market, where the lanes narrow and the traffic thickens. This is a murder mystery walking tour you run at your own speed, with nobody leading the group. The game suits families with children, groups of friends, couples and colleagues, and solo players get the same case. A team means up to four people and one shared phone, and any group larger than that takes extra tickets and splits. Distances in central Hurghada are short, but the heat is not kind, so teams usually pace themselves and stop where there is shade. Nothing is scheduled here: no guide, no fixed start. How to play. The whole game runs from one phone, and setting it up takes four steps. 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 have to be cracked, photos taken to order, and digital characters questioned until their accounts stop matching. Part of the trail leads past St Shenouda Church, and by the time you are back among the market streets the list of suspects has grown short. Play with more than one team and Hurghada turns into a race between them, which is what makes this a reasonable teambuilding activity for a group of colleagues. You can pause the game, eat, and continue afterwards, ending the case in Hurghada…
