A cold wind from Faxaflói Bay pushes through wide avenues and between corrugated rooftops as you step into Reykjavik’s compact street grid. The city’s colors and sharp volcanic skyline become your stage: a scattering of museums, murals and harbor cranes that the Sherlock Holmes City Game repurposes into clues, characters and puzzles.

A cold wind from Faxaflói Bay pushes through wide avenues and between corrugated rooftops as you step into Reykjavik’s compact street grid. The city’s colors and sharp volcanic skyline become your stage: a scattering of museums, murals and harbor cranes that the Sherlock Holmes City Game repurposes into clues, characters and puzzles.
The game threads fiction through Reykjavik’s real history — Viking settlement by Ingólfur Arnarson, the city’s growth from a small fishing outpost to Iceland’s capital, and the basalt and lava fields that shaped the island’s towns. As you follow digital leads on the Loquiz app, the city’s geology and public squares work as landmarks, and Reykjavík’s conversational culture (coffee shops, street art, and public statues) offer natural stopping points.
Practicality drives the fun: this is a two-hour, easy-paced walking mystery meant for groups of 1–4 per device. Expect photo tasks, code-cracking, and audio or text prompts that require observation rather than athleticism. Start whenever you like on your chosen date, and play at your own speed.
Prepare for changeable weather, a charged phone, and comfortable shoes; most of the route is on paved streets with occasional stairs. The game is family-friendly and low-impact on local sites — keep to sidewalks, respect private property, and use public spaces considerately. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, this self-guided mystery turns Reykjavík into a detective playground: curious, social, and unmistakably Icelandic.
You’ll receive an email with instructions and a code; download the Loquiz app, enter the code, and begin at any time on your selected date.
