Archaeological Museum of Thera Fira: start of a detective walk
City games in Fira (1) ↓The Archaeological Museum of Thera Fira sits in the heart of Santorini's main town, a short walk from the busy streets above the caldera. It is a calm, classic museum building and a good place to slow down before you head into Fira's lanes. You can see it in a different way too: as the first stop of a detective game you play on your own phone, with clues, riddles and photo tasks that lead you through town at your own pace.

What you see at the Archaeological Museum of Thera
The Archaeological Museum of Thera is one of Fira's two archaeology museums, and it tells the story of the island's ancient past through the objects people left behind. Even if you only stop outside, it is worth a pause: it stands in the old centre, close to the Metropolitan Church, where the town feels quieter than along the caldera edge.
Take a moment to look around. From here, narrow streets lead off in every direction, lined with white walls, small shops and steps going up and down. It is an easy place to meet your group, check that everyone is ready and take a first team photo before the mystery begins.

Which game passes the museum
The Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Fira starts its route right here, at the Archaeological Museum of Thera. It is a detective game on foot: you question witnesses, collect clues in the streets and try to solve the murder before the trail goes cold.
From the museum you walk along Ipapantis, the lively street that runs high above the caldera, and on to Theotokopoulos Main Square, the busy centre of Fira. The route then takes you past the Metropolitan Church of the Presentation of the Lord and on to the Museum of Prehistoric Thera. At every stop there is a riddle or a task that brings you one step closer to the killer.
Why a game is a fun way to see Fira
When you reach a place during a game, you are there for a reason. You have a clue to find or a question to answer, so you look more closely and notice details you would otherwise walk straight past.
The game guides you from stop to stop without a map or a guide. Each stop adds a piece to the story, and by the end you have seen the centre of Fira in your own way. It works well for couples, friends and families. You also decide the pace: stop for a coffee or a view whenever you like.
How it works, how long it takes and what it costs
The game takes 1.5 to 2 hours and costs €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players. You can start whenever you like, any day, with no fixed times.
You play in the browser on your own phone, no app needed. Charge your phone, wear comfortable shoes for the steps and cobbles, and bring water on warm days. If your group is larger than four, split into several teams, each on its own phone, and see who solves the case first.
