Cobblestones click underfoot as the player steps from Corso Vannucci into a maze of alleys, piazzas, and watchful stone façades—Perugia becomes the stage and the clues are scattered like crumbs.
This self-guided Sherlock Holmes game uses the city's medieval heart, Etruscan walls and hidden stairways to stage a two-hour murder mystery. Players follow digital characters, solve ciphered notes, complete photo tasks, and unlock plot twists through the Loquiz app, all while passing landmarks that trace Perugia's long arc from Etruscan settlement to medieval stronghold and modern university town.
Geology and topography shape the experience: the hilltop layout means frequent short staircases and abrupt viewpoints over the Tiber valley; building stone ranges from local travertine to volcanic remnants, lending the streets a compact, textured feel.
Culturally, expect the energy of students and artisans—Perugia's festivals and chocolate shops often punctuate the route depending on season. The game blends theatrical storytelling with real places, so the city's history becomes both backdrop and puzzle element.
Practical guidance: download the Loquiz app and check the instruction email before you start; one ticket covers a group of up to four per device. Wear grippy shoes for uneven cobbles, carry a portable charger, and allow about two hours at a relaxed pace. Start early to avoid midday crowds and remember narrow lanes can be busy—pause off to the side for photo tasks. The game is rated easy physically but uneven ground and steps limit full accessibility in spots.

Perugia began as an important Etruscan settlement and grew into a fortified medieval city; its layers of walls, palaces and university life shape the streets the game uses.
Respect the historic center by staying on marked paths, avoiding graffiti or climbing on monuments, and disposing of litter—low-impact tourism helps preserve fragile stonework.
