Magnolia Square Bitola: walk and solve

Magnolia Square is a square in Bitola that you can see during both featured walking games. Its open setting offers a broader perspective than looking at a single building or along a narrow street. Take a pause before returning to the activity on your phone, and compare what catches different companions' attention. That makes the sightseeing part of the outing a shared conversation too. The game supplies a continuing purpose for exploring, while your own group chooses when to continue. Additional visits can be organised independently if your day includes more than the self-guided walking activity and its story.

Secrets of Bitola passes Magnolia Square while you help Metodi Andonov-Čento recover a lost medal. Along its route you see Saint Clement of Ohrid, the Bitola Clock Tower and the Partisan Memorial. Give the memorial an appropriate pause before returning to the fictional activity. Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Bitola passes the square too, following a detective case from the Old Bazaar past the Clock Tower towards Magnolia Square. Its route also includes Bezisten. Choose the medal mission if that fictional goal interests your companions, or the investigation if you prefer to keep discussing a case between the real places you see together.

Secrets of Bitola runs in the browser on your own phone, 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. Pick the story and device before beginning, then let everyone contribute ideas even if one person reads from the screen. You can start whenever you want, every day, and the game stays valid for 12 months. Leave time separately for other Bitola plans so the self-guided game remains a flexible part of the outing you arrange with friends, family or colleagues.
