Lisbon Self-Guided Detective Murder Mystery Game

About this experience

The game begins under the Arco da Rua Augusta, the arch on the north side of Praça do Comércio in Lisbon. From there the route turns uphill towards Lisbon Cathedral and comes back down to the iron frame of the Elevador de Santa Justa. It is a self-guided murder mystery game in which the lower town is the crime scene. Lisbon is built on hills, and even a route through the flat part has its climbs, so take it slowly and stop when you want to. Teams are up to four people sharing one phone, larger groups spread across several tickets, and playing on your own is perfectly possible. Families with children, friends, couples and colleagues all get the same game. There is no guide walking ahead of you and no fixed departure. How to play. Setting up takes about as long as a coffee at a kiosk. Book the City Game. Check the instructions email. Download the Loquiz app. Start playing whenever you like. The case is the murder of Balthasar. You break codes, complete photo tasks and question digital characters whose statements are not all honest. One witness places a suspect near Rossio; another swears he never left the square by the river that evening. Every puzzle you solve cuts the list down. With more than one team out at the same time it becomes a race, and that is what makes it useful for teambuilding. Stop for a pastry, pick it up again, and finish when you feel like it. The last clue falls into place in…
