Turn Stuttgart into a crime scene with this self-guided Sherlock Holmes game. Solve puzzles across the city at your pace using the Loquiz app—ideal for families and small groups.
You push open a Stuttgart side street and the city shifts into a stage: cobbled alleys, modern glass, and a church tower keeping careful time. The Sherlock Holmes City Game drops you into that scene and hands you a case—Balthasar’s murder—then dares you to follow the clues through public squares and quieter lanes.

You push open a Stuttgart side street and the city shifts into a stage: cobbled alleys, modern glass, and a church tower keeping careful time. The Sherlock Holmes City Game drops you into that scene and hands you a case—Balthasar’s murder—then dares you to follow the clues through public squares and quieter lanes.
Stuttgart’s streets carry both medieval origins and 19th–20th century industrial energy; the city grew around a horse-breeding settlement and later became a hub for engineering and carmaking. That layered history becomes the backdrop for puzzles that use architecture, monuments, and civic spaces as evidence. The Neckar’s current and the gradient of the city’s hills give the route mild ups and downs rather than technical climbs.
Expect an urban trek of roughly two hours, walking at your pace, stopping to decode ciphers, take photo challenges, and interview digital characters through the Loquiz app. It’s family-friendly and physically easy—mostly on pavement with occasional staircases.
Practical guidance: bring a fully charged phone and portable battery, wear supportive shoes for 1–3 miles of city walking, and download the app before you start. Play during daylight for best visibility and to read plaques and small print. Use public transport to reach central start points; cancel at least 24 hours ahead if plans change. The game is a low-impact way to explore Stuttgart—leave sites as you find them and be mindful of traffic when solving clues on the move.
