Monument aux Morts du Vapeur Balkan Calvi: walk and solve

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Calvi takes you from the war memorial down to the harbour and up to the old town. Along its walking route you see Église Sainte-Marie-Majeure, MUDACC and Port de Plaisance de Calvi after Monument aux Morts du Vapeur Balkan. These places provide the changing setting for your outing.

At the memorial, keep remembrance separate from the detective fiction. Look around quietly before returning to the case elsewhere along the walk. This lets the real places retain their own meaning while the game connects your activity. You have a route to follow together and a mystery to consider between the things you see.

You follow a detective murder case on foot through the free Loquiz app on your own phone, with at most 4 players in one team. A single device keeps the activity together as your group walks through Calvi. Your teammates can all contribute without each having a separate screen.

Make room for everyone’s interpretation of what the game presents. Reading relevant information aloud can help, particularly when one person is holding the phone. Explain a suggestion rather than simply choosing it, and hear what the rest of the group thinks. It gives friends, a couple or colleagues a common activity to share alongside the walk and its surroundings.

The game costs €19.95 per team and takes 1.5 to 2 hours, with flexible starting every day. The purchase stays valid for 12 months, allowing you to choose a suitable playing time. Plan that duration as part of your Calvi outing so the investigation has room in the day.

Choose at most 4 players for the team and settle on the phone you will share before starting. Keep any separate sightseeing visits outside the game duration. Once you are playing, give both the surroundings and the discussion your attention. You can enjoy having a shared purpose while still treating each place along the route with the care it deserves.
