The sun hits the Münster spire and the cobbled alleys of Freiburg hum with foot traffic as you tap “Start” on your phone. Suddenly the city becomes a crime scene: Bächle (the little water channels) whisper clues, market stalls hide riddles, and narrow lanes funnel you toward the next twist. The game places you at the center of a classic Holmes-style investigation — observing façades, decoding notes, and recording photographic evidence as you move through the old town.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

Freiburg’s skyline and sandstone buildings are products of medieval trade and regional sandstone geology that fed the city’s rise in the Middle Ages. The route threads past the 13th-century Münster, past shopfronts that remember guilds and university life, and brushes the edge of the Black Forest foothills that shaped local culture and outdoor rhythms.
Practical details are straightforward: this is a self-guided, app-based experience (Loquiz) that takes roughly two hours and is rated easy, suitable for families and mixed fitness levels. One ticket covers a team of up to four per device; larger groups can buy additional tickets. You’ll need a charged smartphone, mobile data or Wi‑Fi to download the app and follow dynamic prompts, and comfortable shoes for paved and cobbled surfaces.
Plan to start near Münsterplatz, allow extra time for cafés or a climb up Schlossberg if you want panoramic context, and carry a power bank if you’ll be snapping photos. The game is both a playful way to see the city and a practical stroll through Freiburg’s history — think detective work, not a race.
