Family day out Osaka: walk and solve

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Osaka starts at Triangle Park and follows clues on foot at your own pace. Along the route you see Dotonbori, Umeda Sky Building and Namba Yasaka Shrine. These places give your family things to notice while the phone delivers the next step of the story. Invite the children to explain what they think before an adult offers a theory, then compare the team's suggestions. You use the free Loquiz app on your own phone and follow the investigation as a shared self-guided activity, with your family making the decisions together during the walk.

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Osaka is played by a team on one shared phone, so parents and children can discuss the same investigation. Choose this family day out Osaka after talking about the murder mystery theme with your children. During play, a parent can read while others observe, listen or consider a different approach. Give each idea time before choosing a response. You can share reading, looking and discussion according to what people enjoy, then change roles when useful. Keep everyone informed about the current task so the person holding the screen is not investigating alone.

The game takes around 1.5 to 2 hours and costs €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players. Before your family day out Osaka, prepare the free Loquiz app and agree to share each instruction aloud. Children can then look around while still contributing without watching the screen constantly. Invite ideas before answering, with parents helping to clarify the task when useful. Start whenever you want on any day. The game is valid for 12 months, leaving flexibility to choose a date and time that fit your family and the rest of your plans for the visit.
