You step out beneath the long arcades of Bologna, the porticoes folding the afternoon light into narrow ribbons.
The city hums—trams, market vendors, students—while your phone pings the first clue. This is not a guided tour but a playable plot: a two-hour, self-guided murder mystery that casts Bologna’s medieval streets as a crime scene and you as the detective.
The game routes you past Piazza Maggiore and near the Two Towers, threading through University of Bologna neighborhoods that have shaped European learning since the 11th century. The Po Plain’s flat horizon keeps the skyline low; the city’s brick and sandstone buildings hold centuries of civic disputes, guild histories, and hidden courtyards that make good backdrops for a whodunit.
Culturally, expect a brisk mix of student life, open-air markets, and local cafés where you can pause to decode a cipher. The experience is practical: you receive instructions by email, download the Loquiz app, and play at your pace. Teams of up to four people can share a device; the listed difficulty is easy and family-friendly.
For planning, bring a charged phone and a portable battery, wear comfortable shoes for two hours of walking, and choose off-peak times if you prefer quieter streets. Download the app before you start, allow notifications, and keep an eye on signage and pedestrian zones. The game is flexible—start when you like—and it’s a way to learn the city’s lanes while solving a layered mystery.
The game is listed as approximately two hours, but you can play at your own pace and pause if needed.
