Granada Self-Guided Detective Murder Mystery Game

The Fuente de los Gigantes is the starting point for this murder mystery walking tour through Granada. From there the trail leads past the Cathedral of Granada and the Capilla Real, up through Plaza Nueva and towards the slopes of the Albaicín. The Alhambra sits above all of it, in view for much of the walk.

Granada is a city of slopes, and the climb into the Albaicín is the one stretch that asks something of you, so take it slowly on a warm day. The game works for families with children, groups of friends, couples and colleagues, played in teams of up to four with a single phone. Larger groups buy extra tickets and split up. Alone is fine as well, and there is no guide involved and no start time to be there for.

The case is the murder of Balthasar. Coded messages, photo tasks and the statements of digital characters make up the evidence, and the versions do not match. On the way towards the Generalife the timeline finally holds together, and the list of suspects comes down to a few names.

Playing against other teams adds a scoreboard, which makes this a practical teambuilding option as well as an outing. Rest somewhere in the shade, resume the case later, and finish it in the streets of Granada.
