Turn Marseille’s streets into a crime scene with a self‑guided Sherlock Holmes game. Follow clues across the Vieux‑Port and Le Panier, solve puzzles on your phone, and unlock the case at your own pace.
You choose your starting point — perhaps the Vieux-Port where gulls argue over crusts and the quay’s tiles seem to hide fingerprints of a dozen stories — and your phone becomes a detective’s notebook. The city’s alleys whisper clues, the harbour dares you to look twice, and an invented murder draws you through real streets, squares and façades.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

You choose your starting point — perhaps the Vieux-Port where gulls argue over crusts and the quay’s tiles seem to hide fingerprints of a dozen stories — and your phone becomes a detective’s notebook. The city’s alleys whisper clues, the harbour dares you to look twice, and an invented murder draws you through real streets, squares and façades.
Marseille’s streets have teeth: founded by Greeks in the 7th century BCE, scarred by trade and migration, and backed by the limestone shoulders of the Massif des Calanques. As you follow the plot you’ll pass centuries of architecture, pockets of working‑class culture in Le Panier, and maritime landmarks that shaped the city’s trade and cuisine.
This self‑guided Loquiz game runs roughly two hours and is story‑driven rather than physically demanding — it uses the city as a stage for puzzles, photo tasks and encounters with digital characters. Practical details matter: one device supports up to four players, public transport hubs are a short walk from typical start points, and the game is suitable for families and mixed‑ability groups.
Bring charged electronics and comfortable shoes, time your route to avoid peak sun or rain, and allow an extra hour for coffee, detours or local markets you’ll want to inspect. The game is a compact, social way to learn Marseille’s corners while exercising observation and teamwork — a detective tour with the city's real textures underfoot and the satisfaction of solving a case together.
