Gresham Palace Budapest: walk and solve

Gresham Palace is a building at Széchenyi István tér 5-6 in Budapest that you can see during both featured city games. Its exterior gives your group an architectural stop between moments spent discussing the activity on your phone. Look at the building as a whole, then compare the details that catch different companions' attention. This makes the sightseeing a conversation everyone can join, even when one person has been reading the screen. The game connects several real places through a shared story, while your own group decides when to continue. Additional visits can be organised independently around the playing time.

Secrets of Budapest and Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Budapest both pass Gresham Palace. The exploration story asks you to join Count István Széchenyi on a quest to recover the lost Holy Crown of Hungary. Along its route you see St. Stephen's Basilica, the Soviet War Memorial and the George H. W. Bush Statue. The detective route includes the Országház, Szabadság tér and the basilica. Choose the recovery mission if that fictional goal appeals to your companions, or the detective case if you prefer an investigation to discuss between sightseeing stops. Give real memorials appropriate attention before returning to the fictional activity.

Both Budapest games cost €19.95 per team, last 1.5 to 2 hours and allow at most 4 players sharing one phone. Secrets of Budapest works in the browser on your own phone without an app. The detective option uses the free Loquiz app. Choose your story and device before beginning, then let everyone contribute ideas regardless of who handles the screen. You can start whenever you want, every day, with validity for 12 months. Leave time separately for other Budapest plans so the self-guided activity stays a flexible part of the outing you arrange with friends, family or colleagues.
