Elevador de Santa Justa Lisbon: walk and solve

Elevador de Santa Justa is an urban lift on Rua de Santa Justa in Lisbon. You can look at its structure from the street during your city exploration. Start with the whole view before focusing on smaller details of the construction. A brief pause gives the landmark attention without making your walk depend on a ride. Compare what your teammates noticed, then return to your game. The lift can be one sightseeing stop within a wider shared activity that takes you through different places in Lisbon.

Secrets of Lisbon passes the Santa Justa Lift and Carmo Convent with puzzles and photo tasks along a self-guided walk. On its route you see Miradouro de Santa Luzia, the lift and Trindade Theatre. It works in the browser on your own phone, with no app. Choose it if varied tasks appeal to your group. Let different teammates explain ideas before entering an answer. Decide on the game before preparing the phone, because the other listed Lisbon options use the free Loquiz app instead of the browser.

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Lisbon leads from Arco da Rua Augusta to the cathedral and Santa Justa Lift. Along its route you see the lift and the National Museum of Ancient Art. The Lisbon Syndicate (outdoor escape game) also passes the lift, chasing Magnus and the stolen formulas from Praça Dom Pedro IV towards Convento do Carmo. You see Praça Dom Pedro IV, Igreja de São Domingos and Coliseu dos Recreios on that route. It is an outdoor escape game through the streets. Both options use the free Loquiz app.

The listed Lisbon games cost €19.95 per team and take 1.5 to 2 hours. Up to four players share one phone for Secrets and Sherlock, or up to five for The Syndicate. Choose the game before preparing your phone because the browser and app requirements differ. You can start whenever you want, every day, and your purchase is valid for twelve months. Select a time with space for discussing tasks and noticing the city, so everyone can contribute ideas rather than only follow the person with the device.
