About this activity
Solve a Sherlock Holmes-inspired mystery across Frankfurt's streets using the Loquiz app in this self-guided detective game. Work solo or team up to unravel puzzles and hidden clues woven through the city's landmarks over approximately two hours.
Paulsplatz in Frankfurt is where the trail begins, beside the Paulskirche, and it leads straight into the old town. Within a few minutes you are on the Römerberg, in front of the Frankfurter Römer, with the rest of the route waiting in the lanes behind it. It is a self-guided murder mystery game played on foot through the middle of Frankfurt.
The distances here are short and the ground is flat, so families with children, groups of friends, couples and colleagues all manage it comfortably, and solo players are at no disadvantage. Four people to a team is the maximum, sharing one phone between them; anything larger splits into more teams. You get no guide and no set departure, which matters on a square that stays busy all day.
How to play
The case in Frankfurt starts after four short steps.
- Book the City Game
- Check the instructions email
- Download the Loquiz app
- Start playing whenever you like
The murder of Balthasar sits at the heart of the game. You break codes, take photographs at points the app marks out, and question digital characters whose statements do not fit together. The Alte Nikolaikirche and the Schirn Kunsthalle both come up on the trail, and each puzzle you solve narrows the field of suspects.
Put more than one team on the streets and it becomes a race, which makes it a reasonable teambuilding option as well as an outing. Stop for something to eat, take it up again, and close the case in Frankfurt whenever it suits you.
