    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!

How we check reviews

These reviews were left by players on Google and other review sites and are copied from there as they are, with their source.

How does the museum connect with the detective route?

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Lisbon takes you past the Santa Justa Lift, then the museum, Rossio Square South Fountain and Lisbon Cathedral. These stops give the investigation different city settings. You explore on foot with a continuing case connecting the route beyond a single destination your group has chosen to visit.

No museum admission or exhibition visit is specified for the game. If you want to spend time inside the museum separately, plan that alongside the walking activity. Clear expectations help everyone understand the outing, especially when companions have different interests. The route stop and any additional museum visit can each have their own place in your day.

What does investigating as a team involve?

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Lisbon is self-guided with the free Loquiz app on one phone. Up to four players can form a team and compare their ideas about the case. The shared device carries the game while your group supplies the discussion and decisions along the walk.

Make sure everyone hears each task before agreeing on an answer. A companion without the phone in their hand can still offer a useful explanation or a different approach. You can change who reads as the activity develops. Keeping those contributions open helps the case remain common to the whole team rather than managed only by the person holding the screen.

How does the browser-based option differ?

Secrets of Lisbon offers a separate route past Miradouro de Santa Luzia, the Santa Justa Lift, Trindade Theatre and Carmo Convent Ruins, with puzzles and photo tasks. It runs in your phone browser without an app. Choose the detective walk for the route including the museum, or the exploration game for varied tasks and a different phone setup.

Both activities take 1.5 to 2 hours and cost €19.95 per team of up to four players on one phone. Both offer flexible daily starts and twelve months of validity after purchase. Compare the routes and activity styles, then agree a suitable day and prepare your shared phone for the game you select.
