A tram bell rings, café steam curls through the air and the city’s stone faces watch as you tap the Loquiz app and step into a case. The Sherlock Holmes City Game turns Milan into a low-key stage: alleys, piazzas and canal banks become clues, digital characters slip into conversations, and a murdered merchant named Balthasar waits to be understood.

History
Milan’s streets reflect Roman planning and centuries of reinvention—from medieval markets to Renaissance engineering of the Navigli—so many clues sit beside centuries-old façades.
Conservation
The historic center is heavily trafficked; keep noise low, carry out trash, and avoid touching fragile architectural details to help preserve public heritage.
Reserve your spot on the Milan Self-Guided Sherlock Holmes Murder Mystery Game today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Use one device per small team
The game supports 1–4 players per device; keeping groups of four or fewer per phone reduces confusion and speeds puzzle solving.
Wear shoes for cobbles and pavement
Expect mixed surfaces—cobbled alleys, tram tracks and paved piazzas—so choose sturdy walking shoes with good traction.
Charge your phone and bring a power bank
The game is smartphone-based and can run for two hours or longer if you take breaks or photos; a portable charger prevents interruptions.
Plan for public-transport fallback
You can start anytime, but if you run short on time use Milan’s metro and trams to skip between zones quickly.
Smartphone with Loquiz app
Required to run the game, receive clues, and complete photo tasks.
Portable phone charger
Keeps your device powered for the full two-hour experience and extra photos.
Comfortable walking shoes
Protects feet on mixed urban surfaces including cobbles and tram tracks.
Light rain jacket or umbrella
Useful during wet months when sudden showers can make cobbles slippery.
