Koules Fortress Heraklion: walk and solve

Secrets of Heraklion includes Koules Fortress, Heraklion Old Town, City Park Circle and the Kalinihta sign in that walking order. Your group follows clues in a fictional quest to help Poseidon recover his trident. The fortress is a real place to notice as you explore, while the missing-trident story gives your team a playful objective. Keep the game’s events separate from the history of the location and arrange any interior visit independently of the walk. You can compare interpretations of the current prompt before choosing an answer, giving each companion a chance to contribute while you discover the surroundings and follow the story together through the city.

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Heraklion follows a detective case from Eleftherias Square to Morosini Fountain and the harbour fortress. That investigation offers another reason to walk and discuss clues as a group. Choose it if your companions prefer a case to unravel rather than the myth-inspired quest of Secrets. Both games connect real city locations with a fictional activity, so agree on which premise everyone wants to share before setting out. During play, let different people suggest what the next clue could mean. The variety of ideas can make the discussion part of the enjoyment, alongside the places you encounter while exploring the route on foot together.

Both games take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, cost €19.95 per team and allow up to four players sharing one phone. Secrets runs in your own phone browser without an app, while Sherlock Holmes uses the free Loquiz app. Flexible daily starts and 12 months of validity let you choose a suitable moment for the outing. Leave space in your plans for the walk and the tasks rather than rushing straight into another activity. Share prompts by reading aloud or showing the screen so each player knows what the group is solving. You can then compare observations and decide together how to answer before the adventure continues through the city.
