You start on a cool quay, the canal water nudging the edge of the street as you open the Loquiz app and step into a role. The city’s stone facades and narrow bridges become clues; pigeons cut across your path like timed obstacles and the scent of fresh stroopwafels signals a coffee break. This is a city game that asks you to read the map, read people and read the city.
