The square smells of fresh bread and diesel as you tap the Loquiz app and step off Platz von Leeds into Dortmund’s busy center. Narrow streets and pedestrian lanes become a stage: shopfronts blink like witnesses and cobblestones dare you to keep pace. The game drops a crime scene into the city and asks you to read the urban cues.
