Paphos Self-Guided Detective Murder Mystery Game

About this activity

This adventure tours is one of the standout things to do in Paphos, Cyprus. it combines the highlights below into a single, easy-to-book experience from €20 per person. <p>Paphos starts the case at the Markideio Theatre and sends you down towards the coast, where the Pafos Archaeological Park spreads out behind its fence. The route takes in the floor mosaics of the House of Dionysos and the House of Theseus before continuing to Saranta Kolones Castle. It is a detective game on foot, and the ruins of Paphos are where the case is set.</p><p><br /></p><p>Much of this route runs across open archaeological ground with little shade, so a hat and water are sensible in Paphos in summer. It suits families with children, groups of friends, couples and colleagues, and one person can run the case alone. A team is up to four people sharing one phone; a group bigger than that buys extra tickets and plays as several teams. Nobody guides you, and there is no set departure time.</p><p><br /></p><h3>How to play</h3><p>Four steps stand between a booking and your first clue at the theatre.</p><ol><li>Book the City Game</li><li>Check the instructions email</li><li>Download the Loquiz app</li><li>Start playing whenever you like</li></ol><p><br /></p><p>The murder of Balthasar is the matter under investigation. You decode messages, complete photo tasks and test the statements of digital characters against each other. Down at Paphos Castle and along the quay at Paphos Harbour the accounts stop agreeing, and a stop at St Paul&#39;s Pillar leaves only a couple of names standing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Several teams on the same case makes the afternoon competitive, which is what makes it a practical teambuilding activity as well as a holiday outing. Break for a meal at the harbour, return to the trail later, and settle the case in Paphos in your own time.</p>
