Rundetårn Copenhagen: walk and solve

Rundetårn is the Round Tower on Købmagergade in Copenhagen and is passed by the detective and Syndicate games. Its rounded building form gives you something specific to recognise from the street. Take a moment to look at the tower in its urban setting before continuing your chosen story. Seeing landmarks this way lets a group combine a city walk with a common activity. Your attention can move between the places around you and the game you are following together.

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Copenhagen passes Rundetårn on a self-guided detective walk. The case runs from Rådhuspladsen along Strøget towards Christiansborg Slot. You see Caritasspringvandet before passing Tivoli Gardens and then Nyhavn along the route. Pick the detective theme if your group likes discussing a shared investigation as the walk unfolds. The story gives your outing continuity between places, and the city gives you things to notice beyond the next task on your phone as you explore on foot.

The Copenhagen Syndicate (outdoor escape game) passes the tower during a hunt for Magnus and stolen formulas from Christiansborg Slotsplads towards Nyhavn. Along the way you see Christiansborg Slotsplads, then Holmens Kirke and Kongens Nytorv. Choose this for an outdoor escape story in the streets. Secrets of Copenhagen is another city option, starting at Rådhuspladsen with puzzles and photo tasks through the centre. Its discovery theme suits a group that would prefer varied activities to following a murder case or formula pursuit.

A Copenhagen game takes 1.5 to 2 hours and costs €19.95 per team. Play on your own phone using the free Loquiz app. A team can have at most 4 players for Secrets or Sherlock Holmes, or at most 5 for The Syndicate. Check these limits when choosing your group activity. You may begin whenever you want, every day, and the game is valid for 12 months. That lets you organise the walking part of your visit around a convenient meeting time.
