St Monica's Cathedral Cairns: walk and solve

St Monica’s Cathedral is a cathedral in Cairns and is passed by the detective and Syndicate games. Looking at the building provides a church landmark alongside the other city sights you encounter. Pause to take in its exterior and surroundings before continuing your activity. A game can turn that sightseeing moment into one part of a shared outing. Your group follows a story between places, giving you something to discuss while you explore. Choose the investigation for a murder case or the formula chase for an outdoor pursuit, depending on what the people joining you would enjoy doing together.

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Cairns runs from St Monica’s Cathedral past the Night Markets towards the Art Gallery. You see the cathedral, then the Performing Arts Centre and City Library along the route. The Cairns Syndicate (outdoor escape game) also passes the cathedral while you follow Magnus and stolen formulas from Munro Martin Parklands towards the Esplanade Lagoon. You encounter the parklands, then the cathedral and Cairns Cenotaph. For a discovery alternative, Secrets of Cairns offers puzzles and photo tasks past the Art Gallery, Esplanade, Lagoon and marina. Its route includes the Roman Catholic Diocese of Cairns, then the Performing Arts Centre and Esplanade.

Each Cairns game takes 1.5 to 2 hours and costs €19.95 per team, using the free Loquiz app on your own phone. Secrets and Sherlock Holmes allow at most 4 players on one phone; The Syndicate allows at most 5. Compare the themes with your group and check the team limit before deciding on an activity. Then arrange a convenient moment to meet and allow the playing time in your plans. You can start whenever you want, every day, and the game remains valid for 12 months. That gives you flexibility to organise a walk with friends, a partner or colleagues.
