Cathédrale Sainte-Croix d'Orléans Orleans: walk and solve

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Orleans passes Musée des Beaux-Arts d'Orléans and Place du Martroi before reaching the cathedral. Walking between these places gives you a way to explore the centre while your team follows the case. The cathedral is a real sight on that route, with the investigation providing a separate fictional thread.

Take a moment to look at the building before turning back to your next instruction. You do not have to choose between noticing the city and joining in with the puzzles. Let the stop give the group something to see, then carry that shared attention into the next part of the game.

The Orleans murder mystery uses the free Loquiz app for riddles and photo tasks on your own phone. With one device for the team, you can read each challenge aloud and discuss it before selecting an answer. Your group follows the activity without a guide accompanying you.

Bring people who enjoy contributing ideas during a walk. A couple can work side by side, while friends or colleagues can compare different interpretations of the same question. Make sure everyone hears what the game is asking. That small habit keeps the case a shared activity and gives the person holding the phone company in the problem-solving.

The game costs €19.95 per team and takes 1.5 to 2 hours, with one phone for at most 4 players. Set aside that time for walking and investigating, and leave separate space for any additional visits you want to arrange around the cathedral or elsewhere in Orleans.

You can start whenever you want, every day, and the game is valid for 12 months. Pick a time that suits your companions and the rest of your plans. Before beginning, decide which phone to use and make sure the app is ready, so you can give your attention to the route and the questions together.
