Do I need a guide or can I really play completely alone?

Completely self-guided. Once you download the Loquiz app and receive your instructions, you navigate Lisbon and solve puzzles independently—no human guide required. You set the pace and route.

What if I'm in a larger group—can everyone play together?

Yes, up to 5 people can play on one shared device with a single ticket. Groups larger than 5 need to purchase additional tickets (one per 2–5 players). Competing between groups adds to the fun.

What happens if I run out of time or want to stop mid-game?

There's no strict cut-off. You have approximately 90 minutes of gameplay, but you control when you start and stop. Pause whenever you like and resume later if needed.

Do I need to know Lisbon well to play, or will the game guide me to the right spots?

The game is designed for all familiarity levels. Puzzles and photo tasks guide you to specific locations using the app's directions—it functions as your navigator as well as your game master.

What if my phone dies or I lose internet connection during play?

Have a portable charger on hand; 90 minutes of active app use can drain batteries quickly. Areas with weak signal may slow progress, so check connectivity before starting in less touristy neighbourhoods.

How difficult are the puzzles—is this for beginners or experienced gamers?

Rated intermediate difficulty. Expect challenging riddles and photo-based logic puzzles that require thought and exploration, not a casual walk. Suitable for ages mid-teens and up.
