Team building Samos: walk and solve

The game costs €19.95 per team, using one phone with at most 4 players; larger groups can ask for a group quote on the website. Use the small team arrangement when planning the activity budget and deciding who will investigate together. Colleagues who rarely share a task can use the case as their first common subject. Keep the screen visible and invite different explanations before the team answers. The phone holder can join the thinking alongside the others without directing every decision. This keeps the investigation part of a shared conversation within each team, giving everyone room to participate as you work through the mystery together.

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Samos takes you from the central Pythagoras Square to the archaeological museum through Vathy. You investigate on foot using the free Loquiz app, with the real surroundings providing a setting for your fictional case. The walk creates time outside while the mystery offers colleagues a concrete shared problem. Hear what each teammate makes of the information before choosing your response. Another idea may change the group’s first explanation, giving you something different to discuss. This combines exploring with an activity your small team actively shares rather than leaving the decisions to whoever is holding the phone throughout the investigation.

All teams can start at the same time and compare their scores, with 1.5 to 2 hours allowed for play. You can start whenever you like, with daily availability and a booking valid for 12 months. Arrange the groups and prepare the free Loquiz app on each team’s phone before beginning. Choose a starting moment that lets colleagues gather, then give the walk enough time in your outing plan for exploring and discussing possible answers. Once everyone is ready, the case becomes a clear shared activity. Afterwards, the score comparison gives the wider group a common point to return to as colleagues discuss their different approaches to the investigation.
