You open the Loquiz app and the cobbled streets of Heidelberg rearrange themselves into a chase. The Neckar slides past, dare in its current, and the red sandstone of the old town watches as you move from clue to clue. Streetlamps, university façades and bridge statues become markers in a plot that asks you to think like an investigator rather than a tourist.
