    This was a fun game! It had a few challenges which was good and surprises. It got me to go around and explore Queenstown, New Zealand. I got to places in Queenstown, New Zealand I hadn’t been to before while on holiday here. Thank you for that and it gave a feel what it would be like to be the actual Sherlock Holmes!

    Wat een ontzettend leuk moordspel. De opdrachten zijn uitdagend, maar niet té. Leuk verhaal met wat humor. We (1 team, 2 personen) hebben erg genoten. Wij gingen zo op in het spel, dat we weinig van Zwolle zelf hebben gemerkt. Maar omdat we daar al vaker waren, was dat geen minpunt. Aanrader!

Which route includes the castle plaques?

Secrets of Galway includes Lynch’s Castle Plaques after The Browne Doorway and Lynch’s Castle Corner, then continues towards St. Nicholas’ Collegiate Church. The route gives your group places to notice while Síofra’s fictional search for a lost Claddagh ring provides the activity you follow together.

Give the plaques a moment of attention when you reach them before returning to the search. You can enjoy looking around as well as considering the story, letting both contribute to the walk. The game runs in the browser on your own phone, with no app needed. Your interest in one place becomes part of a wider outing that your group can share on foot through Galway.

What does Galway’s detective game offer instead?

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Galway follows a detective case from Eyre Square down to Spanish Arch and the Long Walk. It is another activity on foot, with a different premise from the search for Síofra’s ring. Choose it if your teammates prefer investigating a murder mystery during their outing.

The detective game uses the free Loquiz app on your own phone, unlike the browser-based exploration game. Decide which activity suits your group before setting out and follow its own route. If the castle plaques are central to your plan, Secrets of Galway is the game that includes them. The two options give you different stories and places to consider when choosing your walk.

What do you need to arrange as a team?

Both games cost €19.95 per team, take 1.5 to 2 hours and allow at most 4 players sharing one phone. You can start whenever you want, every day, within the 12-month validity period. Choose a playing time that gives the group room for the activity in its Galway plans.

Keep independent sightseeing visits separate from the game duration. Before starting, agree on the phone you will share and make sure everyone can follow the information. Reading and discussing it together helps keep all the teammates involved. Whether you choose the ring search or a detective case, the route supplies the setting while your group’s ideas help turn the walk into a shared outing.
