Cathédrale Saint-Pierre Annecy: walk and solve

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Annecy passes Cathédrale Saint-Pierre during a detective outing on foot. The walk takes you from the old town canals to Le Palais de l’Île and the château. These surroundings give the murder mystery a setting that changes as your group continues exploring.

Take time to look around when you reach the cathedral rather than making the phone the sole focus of the visit. You can then return to the fictional case with the rest of your team. For anyone who likes having a shared activity while walking, the investigation provides a thread between the places you see and the conversations you have along the way.

You follow the detective murder mystery through the free Loquiz app on your own phone, with at most 4 players per team. The activity is played on foot in Annecy, with a single shared device keeping the case available as you move through the city.

Let everyone take part in considering the information, even when one person handles the phone. You can read it aloud, explain a possible interpretation and listen to what others think before deciding how to proceed. A couple, friends or colleagues may enjoy bringing different perspectives to the same story. The walk gives those discussions room to develop between the places you encounter.

Allow 1.5 to 2 hours for the game, which costs €19.95 per team. Starting is flexible every day and the purchase is valid for 12 months. You can choose your playing time once you know what works for the group’s plans in Annecy.

Keep any independent visits to sights separate from the walking game’s duration. That gives the case a clear place in your day without confusing it with other activities you may want to arrange. Gather at most 4 players and agree which phone to share before beginning. Once you are walking, make space for both the actual surroundings and the ideas your teammates bring to the investigation.
