Team building Annecy: walk and solve

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Annecy takes you from the old town canals to Le Palais de l’Île and the château at your own pace. You investigate on foot using the free Loquiz app, with Jardins de l’Europe also among the places you see along the route. The real surroundings provide a setting while the fictional case offers colleagues a concrete shared problem. Compare what different teammates make of the information before choosing your answer together. Another explanation may add something new to the discussion, leaving room for everyone’s ideas. This makes the activity something your small group actively shares as you explore and investigate alongside one another throughout the outing.

Each team uses its own phone and has at most 4 players; all teams can start at the same time and compare their scores. Arrange who plays together before beginning, perhaps mixing colleagues who rarely work in the same small circle. The case offers their first common subject immediately. Keep the screen visible and hear more than one suggestion before choosing a response together. Comparing scores gives the wider group something to discuss afterwards, while shared decisions within each team keep the activity sociable. The phone holder can investigate alongside the others, making the thinking part of the whole small group’s experience throughout the walk.

Plan for 1.5 to 2 hours and €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 who plays together before the investigation begins. Choose a start that lets colleagues gather, then give the walk enough time in your plans for exploring and discussing possible answers. Once everyone is ready, the case supplies a shared task. Compare scores afterwards and return to the different ideas your teams considered while working through the mystery together during the outing.
