About this activity
Become a detective in Schwerin's charming streets with this self-guided Sherlock Holmes mystery game that blends puzzle-solving, exploration, and storytelling. Navigate the city at your own pace using the Loquiz app to uncover clues, solve riddles, and crack a captivating case—perfect for groups seeking an interactive alternative to traditional sightseeing.
This one opens on the Marktplatz in Schwerin, under the west front of Schwerin Cathedral. The trail then runs north to the Pfaffenteich and the Schelfkirche before turning back towards the water and Schwerin Castle on its island. It is a detective game played on foot, with the town between the lakes as the setting.
Schwerin can be crossed in half an hour and the ground along the water is easy, which makes it workable for families with children, friends, couples and colleagues, and for a single player too. Up to four people make a team and share one phone, so a larger group is divided into teams beforehand. There is no guide and no departure time, which means a slow lap past the theatre costs you nothing.
How to play
There is nothing to pick up in advance, and the game opens on your phone.

The case is the murder of Balthasar. There are codes to break, photographs to take at particular points and digital characters whose versions of events do not match. Near the Paulskirche and the Mecklenburg State Theatre the evidence starts pointing one way, and each puzzle you solve rules out another suspect.
Two teams playing at the same time turns it into a race, which makes it a reasonable teambuilding option next to being a day out. Stop for coffee, carry on later, and finish the case somewhere between the castle and the streets of Schwerin.
