About this activity

Explore Venlo through an interactive, phone-based escape game where you solve puzzles and complete photo challenges to track down the criminal Magnus and recover stolen formulas. This self-guided adventure lets you discover the city at your own pace while immersed in a story-driven gameplay experience.

You begin on the Grote Kerkstraat in Venlo, with the Sint-Martinusbasiliek at your back. The first stretch takes you to the Stadhuis Venlo on the market square and then along the quieter side of the centre towards the Minderbroederskerk. Everything happens on the street; this is a city escape game, not an indoor course.


Venlo is a border town with a centre you can walk end to end in a quarter of an hour, so nobody spends the afternoon hiking between clues. A team is anything from two to five people around a single phone, and each player receives a character whose knowledge the rest of the team needs at some point. Groups above five form extra teams and go their own way. There is no guide leading the group and no fixed moment to leave.


How to play

Setting up before you start in Venlo is short business.

  1. Book the City Game
  2. Check the instructions email
  3. Download the Loquiz app
  4. Start playing whenever you like


Magnus took the formulas and left the pieces of his plan scattered behind him. You work them out by decoding messages, answering riddles and staging photographs, with each role holding something the others are missing. The chase passes the Museum van Bommel van Dam and cuts through Het Rosarium.


Two teams on the same trail turns it into a straight race, which is why it holds up as a team building escape game for colleagues. You can break off for lunch and resume in the afternoon without losing your place. The last answer waits somewhere in Venlo.
