You step off the quay into a river breeze that dares you to follow its current; Bergerac's cobbled alleys spread out like a puzzle waiting to be solved. The Sherlock Holmes City Game turns the town itself into a crime scene: timber-framed facades become clues, market squares host digital characters, and the Dordogne's edge frames photo tasks that mark progress.

Operated by City Game · Bergerac, Dordogne
You step off the quay into a river breeze that dares you to follow its current; Bergerac's cobbled alleys spread out like a puzzle waiting to be solved. The Sherlock Holmes City Game turns the town itself into a crime scene: timber-framed facades become clues, market squares host digital characters, and the Dordogne's edge frames photo tasks that mark progress.
Bergerac grew from a medieval river port and later became known for tobacco trade and winemaking; those layers of commerce and craft still show in its narrow lanes and wine cellars. The stones underfoot are largely Jurassic limestone common to the Dordogne valley, carved by centuries of river transport and human use. Local culture centers on market life, cafés, and the region’s wines — expect references to local products and a few nods to Cyrano de Bergerac in the storytelling.
The experience is practical by design: a phone-based, self-guided mystery using the Loquiz app, playable at your own pace (approx. two hours). It’s accessible for families and small groups, with light walking between urban points and puzzle-solving that suits beginners. Bring a fully charged device, plan for café stops and tight medieval streets, and be prepared to switch to offline navigation if reception dips near old walls.
Before you go, download the app, read the emailed instructions, and buy one ticket per group (one device covers up to four players). Start in daylight for best visibility, respect private properties and café terraces, and treat the town as part of the game rather than the target of it.
One ticket covers a group using a single device—up to four players per device; larger groups should buy multiple tickets.
After booking you’ll receive instructions and can start the self-guided game any time on your chosen date; play at your own pace.
No—difficulty is easy and the puzzles are family-friendly; basic phone usage is all that’s required.
Full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled date; no refund within 24 hours of the start time.
