Cobblestones echo underfoot as players step from the square into Zagreb’s layered streets, phone in hand and a case to crack. The Sherlock Holmes City Game turns Gornji Grad and Donji Grad into a stage: narrow stairways, busts of historic figures, and leafy squares become clues, red herrings and photo challenges. The city’s compact center makes for a looped walking route that moves at the pace of negotiation and discovery rather than distance.
