Montagne de Bueren Liege: walk and solve

Montagne de Bueren is a staircase in Liege that you can see during both featured city games. Its form gives your group a different point of interest from an open square or an individual building. Take time to look at the setting before returning to the story on your phone. You do not need to add an invented task or claim about the staircase to enjoy it as a sightseeing stop. Compare what different companions notice, then continue when the group is ready. The games are self-guided, leaving you to balance looking around with the activity you share.

Secrets of Liege and Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Liege both pass Montagne de Bueren. The exploration story asks you to help a writer recover the spark that brings Detective Jules Maigret to life. You see Grand Curtius, the Van Gogh Mural and the Perron along its route. The detective game instead gives your group a murder investigation to follow on foot. Its route includes Place Saint-Lambert, Saint-Jacques church and Saint-Paul cathedral. Choose the creative recovery mission if that fictional goal appeals to your companions, or the investigation if you would rather keep discussing a case between city sights.

Both Liege games cost €19.95 per team, last 1.5 to 2 hours and allow at most 4 players sharing one phone. Secrets of Liege runs in the browser on your own phone, without an app. The detective game uses the free Loquiz app. Agree on the story and device beforehand, then let everyone contribute ideas regardless of who reads the screen. You can start whenever you want, every day, and the game remains valid for 12 months. Add time separately for other Liege visits so your group can enjoy the self-guided walk without treating it as a timetable for the whole day.
