About this activity

Solve a Sherlock Holmes-themed murder mystery while exploring Nuremberg's streets in this self-guided detective game. Use the Loquiz app to unlock puzzles, gather clues, and crack the case at your own pace over approximately 2 hours.

Hauptmarkt in Nuremberg is where the case begins, beside the Schöner Brunnen and in front of the Frauenkirche. From the square the route runs through the old town to St. Sebald and on into the lanes beyond it. It is a self-guided murder mystery game, walked at your own speed through Nuremberg.


The old town has some slope to it, so there is a bit of climbing between clues, but nothing demanding: families with children, groups of friends, couples and colleagues all get round it, and playing alone is fine. Teams hold up to four players and one phone, and larger groups form extra teams. There is no guide and no fixed start time, so a crowded Hauptmarkt never holds you up.


How to play

Before the first clue in Nuremberg come four steps.

  1. Book the City Game
  2. Check the instructions email
  3. Download the Loquiz app
  4. Start playing whenever you like


The murder of Balthasar is the case you are handed. Codes need breaking, photographs need taking at marked spots, and digital characters give statements that do not sit well beside each other. The route crosses the Henkersteg, runs down the Weißgerbergasse and passes the Heilig-Geist-Spital, and each puzzle solved cuts the suspect list shorter.


More than one team on the case makes it competitive, which is what recommends it for teambuilding as much as for a day with friends. Break when you like, pick the trail back up, and finish the investigation in Nuremberg whenever you are ready.
