Trier becomes the crime scene in this self-guided detective game, where the clues are hidden in plain sight in the streets around you. The case is the murder of Balthasar, and the evidence is scattered across the old centre - past Judengasse, Liebfrauenkirche, Steipe and Dreikönigenhaus. You decode messages, photograph what does not add up and press digital witnesses whose stories never quite line up. Every puzzle you crack removes a name from the list of suspects. Play as a couple, bring the children along, or send two or three teams out at the same time and turn the investigation into a race - which is what makes this murder mystery game work as well for a team outing as for a day out. The last answer is waiting somewhere in the centre of Trier.

We had a very entertaining and fun afternoon with Sherlock and Watson
vielen Dank für Ihre tolle Bewertung! Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass Sie einen so kurzweiligen und lustigen Nachmittag mit Sherlock und Watson in Trier hatten 😊 Genau das ist das Ziel unseres Spiels! Wir hoffen, Sie bald in einer anderen Stadt wieder begrüßen zu dürfen.
Simple puzzle game having nothing to do with the city. Does not allow to discover Trier. We drive down the shopping street.
Bonjour, Merci d’avoir pris le temps de partager votre avis. Nous sommes désolés d’apprendre que l’expérience n’a pas répondu à vos attentes. Notre jeu Sherlock Holmes est conçu comme une enquête interactive, où l’histoire et les énigmes sont au centre de l’expérience. Selon la ville et le parcours choisi, certaines parties peuvent effectivement se dérouler dans des zones commerçantes, car elles sont accessibles et adaptées au format du jeu. Nous comprenons toutefois que vous espériez une découverte plus approfondie de Trèves. Votre retour est précieux et nous aide à améliorer nos parcours et à mieux communiquer le concept du jeu. Nous espérons avoir l’occasion de vous accueillir à nouveau pour une autre expérience qui correspondra davantage à vos attentes. Cordialement, L’équipe
Was entertaining and entertaining, the point behind the cathedral where it says to go around the church and look for a particular house is misleading and the picture of the house not up to date
Vielen Dank für Ihr positives Feedback und den hilfreichen Hinweis! Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihnen die Tour Spaß gemacht hat. Den Punkt hinter dem Dom und das Bild des Hauses werden wir umgehend überprüfen und aktualisieren, damit die Aufgabe künftig klarer ist. Wir schätzen Ihre Rückmeldung sehr – sie hilft uns, das Erlebnis weiter zu verbessern.
Would have liked us to have more tasks in town. You can see that the offer can be transferred to many cities. Unfortunately, there were very few tasks or puzzles involved, for which you have to discover things in the city yourself.
Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback! Wir verstehen Ihren Wunsch nach mehr ortsbezogenen Aufgaben und nehmen das gerne mit, um unsere Spiele weiter zu verbessern.
The game takes you around town well. A prerequisite is a prior engagement with the sights so that you know where you are. If you want to learn about the sights, a guided city tour is better advised
Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Schön, dass Ihnen die Route gefallen hat, wir überlegen, wie wir künftig mehr Informationen zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten einbinden können.
I didn't like it that much. Van stadunique is doing the game and searching together more fun than with the phone. I like that when it's printed on paper much more.
Hoi dank voor je review, fijn om te horen dat je het opzich wel leuk vond :) Er zijn oneinding veel manieren om een stad te verkennen sommige houden van techologie en games, en anderen van Papier :)
This tour is a great way to experience a city. It took us to a number of interesting spots we would not have discovered otherwise.
Hi Kaj, Thanks for this awesome review! Enjoy your next adventures!
We had a lot of fun and especially we saw a lot of Trier. We were in streets we would never have seen otherwise.
