Bembo Fountain Heraklion: walk and solve

Bembo Fountain is a fountain at Platia Kornarou 2 in Heraklion. It gives your walk a different visual focus from the fortress and church buildings featured across the city games. Pause to look at its form before returning to the story on your phone. Your companions can compare what they notice, making the sightseeing part of the activity something everyone shares. There is no need to invent a game clue at the fountain to enjoy the stop. Your chosen game supplies the story, and the city supplies the places you see along the way.

Secrets of Heraklion passes Bembo Fountain during a mission to help Poseidon reclaim his lost trident. Along the route you see Koules Fortress, the old town and City Park Circle. Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Heraklion also passes the fountain, with an investigation described as going from Eleftherias Square towards the Morosini Fountain and harbour fortress. Choose the mythical recovery mission if its premise interests your companions, or the detective case if you want a mystery to discuss throughout the walk. Both give you a shared activity while the city provides changing surroundings between your decisions.

Secrets of Heraklion runs in the browser on your own phone with no app, while the detective game uses the free Loquiz app. Both cost €19.95 per team, last 1.5 to 2 hours and allow at most 4 players sharing one phone. Agree on the device and story before setting out, then make the discussion open to everyone rather than only the person reading. You can start whenever you want, every day, and the game stays valid for 12 months. Leave time around it for any separate visits you want to make during your day in Heraklion.
