A sock of cold Rhine air hits the face as you step off the tram and into Düsseldorf’s compact Old Town. Cobbled lanes push you toward a skyline of church spires and brewery signs; the city becomes the stage and your phone the detective’s kit. The Sherlock Holmes City Game casts participants as sleuths chasing the fall of Balthasar, sending teams through alleys, along the Rheinufer promenade, and past the fashionable Königsallee to follow clues and assemble a narrative from the city’s built fabric.
