1 / 6Terneuzen Self-Guided Detective Murder Mystery Game
About this activity
Solve a Sherlock Holmes-inspired murder mystery while exploring Terneuzen's streets in this self-guided detective game. Use the Loquiz app to follow clues, answer puzzles, and uncover plot twists at your own pace—turning the city into an interactive crime-solving adventure.
The case starts at the Stadhuis in Terneuzen and moves straight out into the streets around it. From there the route reaches the Scheldetheater and turns towards the water at the edge of the centre. It is a self-guided walking tour built around a murder mystery, played at your own speed.
Terneuzen is flat and the distances in the centre are short, which makes this an easy outing for families with children, groups of friends, couples and colleagues, and one person can play it perfectly well. One ticket covers a team of up to four people on a single phone, and a bigger group buys more tickets and splits into teams. There is no guide and no fixed start time, so you can pick a calm hour and set off then.
How to play
Four steps and you can start walking in Terneuzen:
- Book the City Game
- Check the instructions email
- Download the Loquiz app
- Start playing whenever you like
The case is the murder of Balthasar. There are codes to break, photographs to take and digital characters whose accounts of the evening drift apart under questioning. The Scheldeboulevard comes into the trail, and the answers you collect along it cut the list of suspects down.
Send out several teams at once and the game becomes a competition, which is why it also works as a teambuilding activity. Stop for something to eat, pick the trail back up, and close the case in Terneuzen at your own convenience.
