Nyhavn Copenhagen: walk and solve

City games in Copenhagen (3) ↓

Nyhavn Copenhagen can give your game through the city a waterside pause before the next task.

    This is an interesting way to conduct a self-guided Amsterdam city tour. It used the GPS on your phone to guide you to stops on a route. There are mini quizzes once you arrive at the stops on the path. The quizzes draw your attention to features in front of you or to a brief history of the place. In many cases, we visited a spot that would not have been obvious as a regular passer by. The tour as a whole was interesting to us as newcomers, but I would have liked more information on many locations we visited - a few links outside of the app for each place would have been helpful. Beyond that, the interface was a bit clunky and sometimes awkward to navigate. We definitely don't regret trying this out and feel like we got our money's worth on the experience.

    This was a fun game! It had a few challenges which was good and surprises. It got me to go around and explore Queenstown, New Zealand. I got to places in Queenstown, New Zealand I hadn’t been to before while on holiday here. Thank you for that and it gave a feel what it would be like to be the actual Sherlock Holmes!

What makes Nyhavn worth a sightseeing pause?

Nyhavn is a harbour and canal area in Copenhagen, known for the colourful buildings along the water. Take a moment to look at the whole waterside view before focusing on individual facades. Comparing the sequence of buildings can be more interesting than only looking for one detail. Ask your teammates what caught their attention without adding another quiz. After the pause, return to your chosen game and continue the walk with a shared story to follow as well as actual places to see.

Which detective route passes Nyhavn?

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Copenhagen passes Nyhavn and follows a case from Rådhuspladsen along Strøget to Christiansborg Slot. Along its route you see Caritasspringvandet and Nyhavn. Choose it if investigating a case interests your group. Agree on your team phone before heading out, but let ideas come from different people. Asking another teammate to explain why an answer fits can give everyone a role. The activity can stay shared even when one person is holding the device and following the next part of the story.

Which chase leads to the harbour?

The Copenhagen Syndicate (outdoor escape game) hunts Magnus and the stolen formulas from Christiansborg Slotsplads to Nyhavn. You see Christiansborg Slotsplads, Holmens Kirke and Kongens Nytorv along its route. It is an outdoor escape game through the streets. Another option is Secrets of Copenhagen, starting on Rådhuspladsen with puzzles and photo tasks through the centre. Choose it for varied exploration tasks; for Nyhavn, Sherlock and The Syndicate are the named passing routes. Decide on your preferred shared story before setting out so everyone knows the activity you selected.

What are the practical game conditions?

The listed Copenhagen games cost €19.95 per team and take 1.5 to 2 hours. Up to four players share one phone for Secrets and Sherlock, or up to five for The Syndicate. All three use the free Loquiz app. Prepare your chosen team phone before heading out. You can start whenever you want, every day, and your purchase is valid for twelve months. Choose a time with space for tasks and sightseeing, so the walk stays a shared activity instead of a hurry between places.
