About this activity
Become a detective and unravel a Sherlock Holmes mystery while exploring Osaka's streets on your own schedule. This self-guided game blends puzzle-solving with city exploration, letting you discover clues and solve the case at your pace using the Loquiz app.
Triangle Park, known locally as Sankaku Park, is where the case is handed to you. From that corner the trail leads out into Osaka, following clues rather than a list of sights. It works as a self-guided walking tour with an investigation attached, and everything runs through the app on your phone.
The ground is flat and the distances are city-block short, so Osaka is easy going for families with children, couples, groups of friends and work teams, and solo players manage without trouble. Up to four people form one team on one phone; if your group is bigger, take extra tickets and play against each other. There is no guide, and there is no fixed start time to work around.
How to play
Four steps and you are ready to begin.
- 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 broken, photo tasks completed, and the stories of digital characters set side by side until the gaps show. The search takes you through the streets running out from Triangle Park, and each answer you get right shortens the list of suspects.
Several teams playing at the same time makes it a race, which is what turns it into a teambuilding activity rather than just a walk. Break for food, pick it up again, and finish the case in Osaka whenever the day allows.
