Cloister of Saint Francis Sorrento: walk and solve

The Cloister of Saint Francis is a cloister at Via S. Francesco 12 in Sorrento, passed by both featured city games. It gives your group a different architectural point of interest from the statues and viewpoints elsewhere along the routes. Pause to look at the setting before returning to the phone, and compare what different companions notice. The game supplies a shared activity across several real places. If you want a separate cloister visit too, organise it independently and leave additional time around the walk. Your own group decides when to continue and how to balance looking around with following the story.

Secrets of Sorrento and Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Sorrento both pass this landmark. The exploration story asks you to help Torquato Tasso recover a notebook containing the final verses of a lost masterpiece. Along its route you see the Basilica of Saint Anthony Abbot, the Statue of Saint Anthony and Marina Piccola Viewpoint. The detective route includes the basilica, Marina Piccola Viewpoint and the Valley of the Mills Overlook before the cloister. Choose the recovery goal if that fictional premise appeals to your companions, or the detective case if you prefer a continuing investigation to discuss between the real sights you see together.

Secrets of Sorrento runs in the browser on your own phone without an 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. Choose your story and device before beginning, then make room for everyone's ideas even if one person reads the screen. You can start whenever you want, every day, and the game is valid for 12 months. Add separate time for other Sorrento plans so the self-guided activity stays a flexible part of the outing you arrange with your own companions.
