Team building Santa Maria: walk and solve

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Santa Maria takes you from the main square to the pier and the beach on Sal. You follow the case on foot using the free Loquiz app. Mural Cesaria Evora is also among the places you see along the walking route. The surroundings provide the setting while the fictional mystery gives colleagues something concrete to discuss. Hear different interpretations of the information before choosing an answer together. Each teammate can contribute an idea, keeping the detective work part of a shared conversation. This makes the activity something your small group participates in through both exploring and investigating alongside one another during the outing.

Each team has at most 4 players and uses its own phone; all teams can start at the same time and compare their scores. Decide who plays together before beginning, perhaps mixing colleagues who do not often work alongside one another. The investigation can provide their first common topic immediately. Keep the screen visible and invite different suggestions before agreeing on a response. Comparing scores gives the wider group something to discuss afterwards, while shared decisions within each team leave room for every colleague during play. The phone holder can investigate alongside the others, making the case part of the whole small group’s activity throughout the walk.

Allow 1.5 to 2 hours at €19.95 per team, with larger groups asking for a group quote on the website. You can play daily, start whenever you like and use the booking within 12 months. Prepare the free Loquiz app on each team’s phone and settle the small groups before starting. Choose a beginning that lets colleagues gather, then give the walk enough time in your plans for exploring and discussing possible answers. Once everyone is ready, the mystery supplies a shared task for the outing. Compare scores afterwards and return to the different ideas your teams considered while working through the case together.
