Santa Cruz de Tenerife Self-Guided Detective Murder Mystery Game

In Santa Cruz de Tenerife the case opens at the Triunfo de Candelaria on the Plaza de la Candelaria, a few steps from the Plaza de España and the water. The route then works inland past the Teatro Guimerá and into the older streets behind it. It is a murder mystery walking tour that you run at your own speed.

The centre of Santa Cruz de Tenerife is level and easy to cross, and the breeze off the sea takes some of the heat out of the walk, which helps whether you are out with children, with friends, as a couple or with colleagues; alone is fine as well. A team is a maximum of four people sharing one phone, and bigger groups split into separate teams. There is no guide and no departure time to keep.
