Team building Faro: walk and solve

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Faro takes you from the town hall square to the marina through the old town at your own pace. You follow the case on foot using the free Loquiz app, with Arco do Repouso and Faro Cathedral also among the places you see along the route. The real surroundings provide a setting while the fictional mystery offers colleagues a concrete shared problem. Hear different interpretations of the information before deciding your answer together. Each teammate can contribute an idea, keeping the detective work part of a group conversation. This makes the activity something the small team actively shares as you explore and investigate alongside one another rather than simply following one person’s decisions throughout play.

Use one phone for each team of at most 4 players; 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 in the same small circle. The case provides an immediate common topic. Keep the screen accessible and invite different suggestions before responding together. Comparing scores gives the wider group something to discuss after the game, while shared decisions within each team keep the activity sociable. The phone holder can investigate alongside the others, so following the mystery remains part of the whole small group’s experience throughout the walk.

Reserve 1.5 to 2 hours and budget €19.95 per team; larger groups can ask for a group quote on the website. The game is available daily, you can start whenever you like and your booking is valid for 12 months. Prepare the free Loquiz app on each team’s phone and settle the groups before starting. Choose a beginning that lets colleagues gather, then give the walk its own space in your plans. That leaves time for exploring and discussing possible answers without rushing through the investigation. Once everyone is ready, the case supplies a shared task, with team scores to compare after you finish playing together during the outing.
