You step off the tram and the old stone facades of Valencia’s Ciutat Vella fall into a pattern of alleys and plazas. The game opens with a message on your phone; a fictional murder, a missing witness, and a map that nudges you through squares where pigeons and history collide.
Valencia’s city center is a living archive — medieval walls give way to 19th-century facades and the wide Paseo de la Alameda. The route threads past civic buildings and hidden courtyards, using the city’s layered history as both backdrop and clueboard. The story borrows Victorian detective tropes and plants them in plazas that once hosted merchants and political rallies, creating a playful tension between fiction and the city’s real past.
Expect a relaxed, two-hour walk across mostly flat, paved streets with intermittent cobbles. Puzzles mix digital characters, observational tasks and photo challenges that reward curiosity more than speed. The game is accessible in multiple languages and works for solo players, families and small teams.
Practical notes: download the Loquiz app before you start, bring a fully charged phone and comfortable shoes for walking on uneven cobbles. Play during daylight for best visibility and to appreciate architectural details; evenings add atmosphere but reduce legibility of small text. Public transport links are close to typical start points, and the route keeps to public streets and plazas — be mindful of local residents, cafés and traffic.
This self-guided mystery is a light, urban adventure that turns Valencia into a playable map: investigative, social and rooted in the city’s visible past.
easy.
2 hours.

The game is designed for about 2 hours, but you can play at your own pace—expect 90–150 minutes depending on how much time you spend on puzzles and stops.
No—knowledge helps with atmosphere but all necessary clues and instructions are provided inside the app.
One ticket covers 1–4 players per device; larger groups should split into teams and buy additional tickets to compare results.
Much of the route follows paved streets and plazas, but cobbles and occasional steps may present barriers; contact the operator for specific accessibility concerns.
Valencia’s old town blends Roman and medieval street patterns with later 19th-century public works; many plazas were historically marketplaces and civic stages.
Stick to public paths, avoid climbing on historic fabric and dispose of waste responsibly; supporting local cafés and shops during the game helps the neighborhood economy.
