    Made a city game in Bastia. Was a lot of fun! Many details and cool animations. A great way to explore a city alongside.

Where does the library appear on the detective route?

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Coimbra includes Joanina Library, University of Coimbra, Arco de Almedina and Torre de Anto in that walking order. The investigation gives your group a case to discuss while these real locations provide surroundings for the walk. Notice the library during the outing and arrange any visit inside as a separate activity. Your companions can compare possible explanations of a clue before choosing an answer together. Make the prompt accessible to everyone so the reasoning stays shared, with each player able to offer an observation. The phone carries the case, but the route also gives you time to look around and enjoy discovering the city together.

What discovery route can you follow instead?

Secrets of Coimbra includes Almedina Arch, Sub-Ripas Palace Arch, Quebra Costas Stairs and Old Cathedral of Coimbra in that walking sequence. Puzzles and photo tasks add things to do as your group explores stone archways and courtyards. Choose it if your companions prefer varied discovery challenges to a detective plot. Think about which activity will interest everyone before selecting an adventure, then follow that one format as a team. You can share observations and discuss possible answers between the real places encountered along the route. Keep separately arranged interior visits outside the city game, leaving room to enjoy both the walk and other plans in their own time during your outing.

How do you organise the shared phone and price?

Both adventures cost €19.95 per team, take around 1.5 to 2 hours and allow up to four players sharing one phone. Secrets runs in the browser on your own phone without an app; Sherlock Holmes uses the free Loquiz app. Flexible daily starting times and 12 months of validity let you choose a suitable moment for the group. Leave enough room for the route and the tasks together. During play, read prompts aloud or show the screen so everyone knows what the team is solving. A different interpretation can make the next answer a discussion, with each person helping the group decide how to respond before the adventure continues through the city.
