1 / 5Schwerin Self-Guided Detective Murder Mystery Game
About this activity
This adventure tours is one of the standout things to do in Schwerin, Germany. it combines the highlights below into a single, easy-to-book experience from €20 per person. Take on a detective murder case on foot in Schwerin, from the Marktplatz and the cathedral out to the castle on the lake.
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.

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.
