A team of one to four plays from a single phone, and larger groups make up several teams. Playing alone is perfectly possible.

Lubeck Self-Guided Detective Murder Mystery Game
In Lübeck the first scene is the Marienkirchhof, and from that yard the route works its way across the island that carries the old town. It runs down to the Holstentor and the Salzspeicher on the water, then back up through the brick streets towards St Jakobi. This is a detective game played on foot, and the whole of it happens in the old town.Lübeck's centre sits between two arms of the water and is small enough to cross without effort, so the game suits families with children, groups of friends, couples and colleagues equally, and one person alone can play it. Up to four people form a team around a single phone; when the party is bigger it divides into several teams. No guide comes with you, and you set off at whatever hour you choose.How to playBefore you set out in Lübeck there are four short steps.Book the City GameCheck the instructions emailDownload the Loquiz appStart playing whenever you likeThe case concerns the murder of Balthasar. You crack codes, take photographs at fixed points and question digital characters whose statements rarely agree.

Self-Guided The Lubeck Syndicate City Escape Game
The trail opens on the Marktplatz in Lübeck and heads into the lanes of the old island town. It goes by the Buddenbrookhaus, turns toward St.-Petri-Kirche and continues north through the streets behind it. This is an outdoor escape game, which means the answers are in the brick and the signage rather than in a commentary.The centre of Lübeck is an island, small enough to walk across and full of narrow passages that reward a team paying attention to doorways. Two to five people play together on one phone, and every player takes a character with their own role in the mission, so nobody ends up standing around. Groups of more than five split into separate teams with a phone each. No guide is involved, and there is no set time to be anywhere.How to playThe game lives in an app, so the setup is short and can be done in advance.Book the City GameCheck the instructions emailDownload the Loquiz appStart playing whenever you like.Magnus has the stolen formulas and moved them through this port.
