About this activity
Solve a Sherlock Holmes-themed murder mystery while exploring Leuven's streets in this self-guided mobile game. Combine detective work, local landmarks, and puzzle-solving into a flexible 2-hour adventure that works for solo players, couples, families, or small groups.
Leuven begins the case at the historic town hall, and from there the route heads into the surrounding streets. It passes the Oude Markt, the museum M Leuven and Saint Michael's Church, and reaches the Ladeuzeplein before turning back. Played as a self-guided murder mystery game, the city itself is where the evidence sits.
The old centre of Leuven is flat and quickly crossed, which makes this suitable for families with children, groups of friends, couples and colleagues, and it holds up fine as a solo activity. Teams are a maximum of four people around one phone, so a group of twelve becomes three teams walking their own routes. No guide walks ahead of you and no departure time is fixed.
How to play
Everything you need arrives by email, so the preparation is minimal.
- Book the City Game
- Check the instructions email
- Download the Loquiz app
- Start playing whenever you like
At the heart of it is the murder of Balthasar. Codes have to be cracked, photographs taken to order, and the accounts of digital characters compared until the gaps show. In the Botanical Garden and on the way back past the Oude Markt, each answer takes another name out of the running.
Put two or more teams on the same case and Leuven becomes a straight competition, useful for teambuilding as well as for a free afternoon. You can pause, eat, and return to it, closing the investigation in Leuven whenever it suits.
