A crisp morning in Uppsala, the river Fyrisån glinting and dareing you to look closer, is the kind of setting that turns ordinary streets into stages. The Sherlock Holmes City Game drops players into that scene: clues tucked behind façades, digital characters appearing on your phone, and stretches of cobblestone that set the pace for sleuthing rather than sprinting.

A crisp morning in Uppsala, the river Fyrisån glinting and dareing you to look closer, is the kind of setting that turns ordinary streets into stages. The Sherlock Holmes City Game drops players into that scene: clues tucked behind façades, digital characters appearing on your phone, and stretches of cobblestone that set the pace for sleuthing rather than sprinting.
Uppsala’s compact medieval center and university legacy (Uppsala University dates to 1477) provide the historical texture for the story—stone streets that remember students and scholars, parks that once held different markets, and monuments that hint at older, grimmer chapters. The game nudges players past the cathedral precincts, by the river, and through quiet squares, using the city’s urban fabric as both prop and puzzle.
Culturally, the route is friendly to families and groups, with tasks that mix observation, code-cracking, and simple photo challenges. The experience is self-paced and app-driven, so it’s as much about social problem-solving as sightseeing.
Practical side: download the Loquiz app ahead of time, bring a fully charged phone and a small power bank, and wear shoes that handle cobbles and occasional slick pavement. Expect two hours of walking and mental puzzles—bring water, plan for weather changes, and start from a central point in the city center when you’re ready.
For travelers wanting a low-impact, narrative way to see Uppsala, this is a compact, playful option that emphasizes curiosity over speed.
After booking you’ll receive instructions by email; install the Loquiz app, follow the setup steps, and start at the suggested city-center point any time on your booked date.
The written guide is available in English, Spanish, German, French, Italian and Dutch, so players can choose their preferred language in the app.
One ticket covers a group of 1–4 players on a single device; larger groups should book multiple tickets so everyone can participate.
The route uses city streets and some cobbles; it’s suitable for most mobility levels but not recommended for those who require barrier-free routes without steep steps—check local accessibility on specific segments.
City Game operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
