    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 are you recovering in the exploration game?

Secrets of Valletta asks you to recover the lost plans of Jean Parisot de Valette through the city's streets and bastions. You see St. Catherine of Italy Church, Valletta City Gate and Our Lady of Victories Church along the route. The search gives your walk a purpose the family can discuss together. Ask the children what they think the next instruction suggests before adding an adult's idea. You play in the browser on your own phone, with no app required, so the story stays on one shared screen.

Where does the detective story take place?

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Valletta follows a case from the Grand Master's Palace to the Barrakka Gardens at your own pace. Along the route you see the Grandmaster Palace Courtyard, Fortifications Interpretation Centre and National War Museum. Choose this family day out Valletta when a detective murder investigation interests your team. Discuss that premise with your children before playing, then invite them to explain a theory as the case develops. The game uses the free Loquiz app, which you prepare on the phone the family will share.
