Pattaya Self-Guided Detective Murder Mystery Game

About this experience

The game in Pattaya begins at Ripley's Believe It or Not, a short walk from the seafront, and works outward from there. The trail follows Pattaya Beach for a stretch, turns into Walking Street, then loops back through the blocks behind the shore. It is a self-guided murder mystery game rather than a tour, and the timing is yours. The ground is flat and the walking is easy, but the heat is the thing to plan around, so an early or late start is more comfortable. Families with children, groups of friends, couples and colleagues all play it, and going solo is fine as well. A team is four people at most on one phone, and larger groups run as several teams. There is no guide and no fixed starting time to work around. How to play. Hardly anything needs arranging before you set off. 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 need cracking, photo tasks have to be completed on the spot, and digital characters give statements that do not quite fit together. Some of it plays out around the Pattaya Floating Market, where one story about where a suspect spent the evening comes apart. More than one team on the trail makes it a contest, which is what makes the game work for teambuilding as well as for a holiday afternoon. Break for a cold drink, come back to the case, and close it wherever you end up in Pattaya.
