The cobbled streets of Ghent open like a book as you tap the Loquiz app and accept the first clue. Canal water glints under late-afternoon light while stone bridges dare you to look closer; the city becomes a stage and you, briefly, a detective hunting for Balthasar's killer. Footsteps echo past guild houses and the castle towers watch the slow procession of teams piecing together codes and photo tasks.
