The trail opens in the Jardim Municipal in the middle of Funchal, where the first instructions are collected. It runs from the garden to the Palácio de São Lourenço and on to the Mercado dos Lavradores, then back through the streets in between. This is a detective game played on foot, and Funchal supplies the setting for it.


Funchal is built against a slope, so parts of the route climb, though it stays an easy walk for families with children, groups of friends, couples and colleagues, as well as for anyone playing alone. A team is up to four people sharing one phone, and larger groups buy extra tickets and split into teams. No guide walks with you and no start time is fixed, so an early start in the shade is entirely possible.

The case is the murder of Balthasar. Codes are cracked, photo tasks are completed and digital characters give evidence that keeps changing shape. The Parque de Santa Catarina, the Quinta das Cruzes Museum and the Forte de São Tiago all come into the trail, and the further you get the fewer suspects remain.
