Step into the shoes of a legendary detective and transform the streets of Emmen into your personal crime scene! The Emmen Self-Guided Sherlock Holmes Murder Mystery Game is an immersive, story-driven outdoor escape game that combines brain-teasing puzzles, fun photo challenges, and classic British humor. Perfect for friends, families, couples, or team-building events, this interactive adventure challenges you to solve the mysterious murder of Balthasar.
Your mission begins the moment you book. You will receive an email with simple instructions to download the Loquiz app and enter your login credentials. Then, gather your team of 1 to 4 players per device and head to the starting point in the center of Emmen. There is no tour guide to wait for; you have complete independence to start, pause, and play whenever you like, exploring the city at your own pace.
Over the course of approximately 2 hours, you will crack codes, meet digital characters, and follow a suspenseful storyline packed with unexpected plot twists. Although the game uses the city as an interactive playground, it does not provide historical facts, focusing instead on pure entertainment and puzzle-solving fun. It is an affordable, flexible, and exciting way to make your trip to Emmen truly unforgettable!
We recommend playing with 1 to 4 people per device for the best experience. Be sure to fully charge your smartphone before starting and wear comfortable walking shoes.
