Almeria Self-Guided Detective Murder Mystery Game

About this activity

This adventure tours is one of the standout things to do in Almería, Spain. it combines the highlights below into a single, easy-to-book experience from €20 per person. <p>Almería puts the first clue at the Ayuntamiento, the town hall on the main square, and sends you off into the old streets behind it. The route reaches the cathedral, follows the Rambla de Almería down towards the water and completes its loop in the Parque Nicolás Salmerón. It is a detective game played on foot, and the trail stays inside the old centre.</p><p><br /></p><p>The centre is compact and mostly level, so the walking is undemanding even in the heat of the afternoon, when the shaded side of the Rambla is the side to stick to. Teams are one to four people with a single phone between them, and larger parties break into several teams. Families, groups of friends, couples and colleagues all get the same game, and playing on your own is entirely workable. No guide accompanies you and no fixed start time applies.</p><p><br /></p><h3>How to play</h3><p>The route through Almería opens after four short steps.</p><ol><li>Book the City Game</li><li>Check the instructions email</li><li>Download the Loquiz app</li><li>Start playing whenever you like</li></ol><p><br /></p><p>At the centre of it is the murder of Balthasar. You decode messages, take photographs where the game asks for them and question digital characters whose accounts drift apart under pressure. The Museo de la Guitarra and the square around the Fuente de los 103 Municipios both feature before the last suspect drops away.</p><p><br /></p><p>Put more than one team on the streets and it becomes a competition, which is why groups use it as a teambuilding activity. Stop for a break in the shade, take up the trail again afterwards, and close the case in Almería.</p>
