A brisk square opens up ahead, church spire cutting into pale sky; the city’s stones seem to be watching as a new case begins. Players tap the Loquiz app, the first clue blinks, and Antwerp shifts from a sightseeing route into a crime scene. The game routes you through narrow lanes, past the Gothic Cathedral of Our Lady, along the Scheldt where the river pushes against the quay, and into the diamond quarter where facades hold more secrets than shops.
