Turn Split’s winding alleys into a crime scene with a self-guided Sherlock Holmes murder mystery. Play at your pace on your phone while decoding clues that weave through Diocletian’s Palace and the Riva.
You step off Split’s Riva and the Adriatic leans in, salt-sweet and insistent, daring you to follow alleyways that climb into the old town. The phone in your hand becomes your magnifying glass: a message, a clue, a face from the past. The game drops you into the murder of Balthasar, and suddenly centuries of stone and shadow become a crime scene.

Operated by City Game · Split, Split-Dalmatia County
You step off Split’s Riva and the Adriatic leans in, salt-sweet and insistent, daring you to follow alleyways that climb into the old town. The phone in your hand becomes your magnifying glass: a message, a clue, a face from the past. The game drops you into the murder of Balthasar, and suddenly centuries of stone and shadow become a crime scene.
Split’s streets are Roman in bone and Dalmatian in voice—the grid of Diocletian’s Palace, medieval stairways, and sun-bleached façades. Geology here is coral-limestone carved by Adriatic winds; culture is a layered script of Roman emperors, Venetian merchants, and island fishermen. As you trace clues through basements, squares, and narrow passages, the city’s history supplies context and atmosphere for each puzzle.
Practical guidance: this self-guided experience runs about two hours and is played on your phone via the Loquiz app; one device supports 1–4 players (larger groups need extra bookings). Start any time on your date, walk on mostly paved surfaces, and expect frequent stops for reading tasks and photo challenges. Wear comfortable shoes for cobbled alleys, keep your battery topped up, and download the app and instructions before you begin. Public transport and taxis make getting to the start easy, and the route keeps you within the compact old town.
Timing tip: play in the morning or late afternoon to avoid peak sun and crowds. Respect private spaces and protected ruins—this is a low-impact urban game that relies on the city staying authentic for future detectives.
