Talos Square Chania: walk and solve

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Chania takes you past Küçük Hasan Mosque, then Talos Square and Venetian Lighthouse. The harbour and old-town setting gives your team places to see between the challenges. The square is part of that walking exploration, with the fictional case providing a purpose for moving onwards together.

Let the change of place become part of the outing. At the square, stop looking at the screen long enough to notice where you are before reading another instruction. You do not have to turn every moment into a puzzle to enjoy a game walk; the surroundings give your conversation something else to return to.

You play the Chania murder mystery as a self-guided team on one phone, with at most 4 players. Riddles and photo tasks invite you to discuss what to do next in the free Loquiz app. Bring companions who enjoy combining a walk with something to solve.

A couple can compare two approaches to a question, while friends or colleagues may have several suggestions to consider. Make sure everyone hears the instructions before choosing an answer. There is no accompanying guide to manage the discussion, so let the group find a comfortable way to share the reading and thinking as the case develops.

The game lasts 1.5 to 2 hours and costs €19.95 per team for one phone and at most 4 players. Leave room for that walking activity when planning your time in Chania. Choose the device you will use and agree who will carry it before getting started.

You can begin whenever you want, every day, and the game is valid for 12 months. The starting time therefore fits around your plans rather than a group departure. If you want more time around the harbour or elsewhere afterwards, plan that separately and give the detective case its own place in the day.
