About this activity
Become a detective and solve a Sherlock Holmes-inspired murder mystery while exploring Bordeaux's streets on your own schedule. This self-guided game combines puzzle-solving, hidden clues, and an immersive story that transforms the city into your crime-solving playground.
Place de la Bourse is the meeting point, on the riverfront in Bordeaux with the Palais de la Bourse at your back and the Miroir d'eau in front of it. From the quay the trail turns away from the water into the old town and out to Place Gambetta. It is a self-guided walking tour with a murder to solve, and Bordeaux supplies the setting.
The centre of Bordeaux is flat and largely given over to pedestrians, which keeps the walking easy for families with children and for anyone playing at a slow pace. One ticket covers a team of up to four people sharing a phone; a larger group takes several tickets and plays as separate teams. Solo players do fine. There is no guide, no group to keep up with and no fixed start time.
How to play
The setup is short and it is the same whichever day you play.
- 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 work through coded messages, photo tasks and the statements of digital characters whose versions of events do not match. One clue puts a suspect near the Monument aux Girondins, another has him standing by the water the whole evening. Sorting out which account holds up is most of the work.
More than one team makes it a competition, which is why it works for teambuilding as well as for a day out with friends. Pause when you want, eat something, and return to the clue you left open. The final answer is given in Bordeaux.
