Turn Ghent into a crime scene and play detective with a self-guided Sherlock Holmes city game. Solve puzzles, follow clues, and explore medieval streets at your own pace.
The cobbled streets of Ghent open like a book as you tap the Loquiz app and accept the first clue. Canal water glints under late-afternoon light while stone bridges dare you to look closer; the city becomes a stage and you, briefly, a detective hunting for Balthasar's killer. Footsteps echo past guild houses and the castle towers watch the slow procession of teams piecing together codes and photo tasks.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

The cobbled streets of Ghent open like a book as you tap the Loquiz app and accept the first clue. Canal water glints under late-afternoon light while stone bridges dare you to look closer; the city becomes a stage and you, briefly, a detective hunting for Balthasar's killer. Footsteps echo past guild houses and the castle towers watch the slow procession of teams piecing together codes and photo tasks.
Ghent wears its history plainly: medieval canals cut through a Flemish cloth of trade, the Gravensteen castle recalls feuding counts, and street names still mark guild territories. Geologically the low-lying region sits on alluvial plains where rivers have directed settlement; culturally, Ghent balances Catholic heritage with a lively student scene and contemporary street art. The game leans on local landmarks and everyday alleys, so expect a mix of tourist sites and quieter backstreets that locals use to commute.
Practical guidance: the experience is self-guided and phone-driven—download Loquiz before you arrive and charge your battery. Plan roughly two hours at an easy pace; you’ll walk mainly flat, paved surfaces with occasional slick cobbles. Play during daylight for easier clue-spotting, or try an evening run for a moodier vibe but bring a flashlight and extra battery. Teams of up to four per device work best; larger groups should split into multiple devices. Wear comfortable walking shoes, bring a small map or offline city map for backup, and use public transit to reach central Ghent. The game is family-friendly, flexible with start times, and a sharp way to see the city while testing observation and puzzle skills.
After booking you’ll receive instructions by email—download the Loquiz app and enter the game code; you can start anytime on your chosen date.
