The church bell at Plaza de la Iglesia still echoes as you lift your phone and accept the first clue—Puerto de la Cruz shifts from postcard calm to a stage for sleuthing. Cobblestones click underfoot, the Atlantic pushes a cool salt edge into alleys, and old façades hide the next cipher.

The church bell at Plaza de la Iglesia still echoes as you lift your phone and accept the first clue—Puerto de la Cruz shifts from postcard calm to a stage for sleuthing. Cobblestones click underfoot, the Atlantic pushes a cool salt edge into alleys, and old façades hide the next cipher. The game funnels the town’s compact streets into a linear detective trail where each solved riddle opens another window on place and plot.
Tenerife’s volcanic backbone is visible in the black basalt curbs and terraced gardens; historically a fishing and trade port, Puerto de la Cruz blends Canary architecture with 19th‑century holiday resorts. The City Game uses that layered history—market stalls, colonial plaster, and promenade viewpoints—as storytelling anchors while you track the fictional murder of Balthasar.
Expect interactive photo tasks, character-led dialogue through the Loquiz app, and brainteasers that reward observation more than speed. The route begins at Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Peña de Francia and moves through plazas and seaside lanes; total playtime is roughly two hours and is family-friendly.
Practical notes: download Loquiz in advance, keep your phone charged, and carry a light rain layer in spring and winter. Play earlier in the day to avoid crowds on the promenade and step into cafés as natural pit stops. The experience is low‑impact on the environment—stick to public paths, avoid private property, and respect residents. Whether alone or in a team of up to four per device, the game turns Puerto de la Cruz into a compact, curiosity-driven investigation where history and local color help you close the case.
After booking you’ll receive an email with instructions; install the Loquiz app and begin at Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Peña de Francia on your chosen date.
