Octagonal Mausoleum Pula: puzzles on foot

Secrets of Pula passes the mausoleum and takes 1.5 to 2 hours. Its fictional mission asks you to help Emperor Augustus recover a lost scepter. The listed route includes the Temple of Augustus, Pula Cathedral, the Monument to the Partisans and the City Fountain. Those places give your puzzle walk a series of points to look for while the story gives your group a shared purpose. Keep the phone close enough for everyone to follow the task, then discuss an answer before moving on. The search is part of the game, so approach the real places as places to observe on your walk.

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Pula starts at the Roman Theater and leads through the old town. Pula Cathedral, Pula Castle (Kaštel) and the Temple of Augustus appear among its stops. This option suits a group that would rather work on a fictional murder case than search for an emperor’s missing object. Allow 1.5 to 2 hours to investigate on foot at your own pace. The game uses the free Loquiz app. Choose it for the detective storyline and its own walking route; the mausoleum connection belongs to the other game. That distinction helps you select an outing around the experience you want.

Each game in Pula costs €19.95 per team, with at most 4 players sharing one phone. Secrets of Pula works in your phone’s browser and needs no app. Decide who will hold the screen, but let everyone take part in the discussion: a shared device does not have to mean a single person makes every decision. Friends, couples, families and colleagues can use the walk as time together with something to solve. You can start whenever you want, every day, and the game remains valid for 12 months. Choose a day that leaves space for the full walk and your own plans afterwards.
