What you’ll experience during the game
Ved starten af Sherlock Holmes City Game i Ponta Delgada bliver du øjeblikkeligt en nøglespiller i en intenst spændende detektivfortælling. Mens du navigerer gennem byens gader, udfolder en kompleks historie sig, der venter på din skarpe intellekt og opmærksomme evner til at dechifrere vejen frem. Historien fletter sig sammen med dine bevægelser, actionfyldt med den spændende opdagelse af spor, opklaring af indviklede gåder og undervejs stød på uventede vendinger i efterforskningen.
Det handler ikke kun om at finde sporene – det handler om at analysere dem, afhøre digitale mistænkte og læse deres alibier eller modsætninger. Du skal afsløre sandheden bag et foruroligende mord, der fandt sted under Liberty Festival. Husk, hvert spor er en integreret del, og intet er for lille til at være et nøgleaspekt af denne fuldt historiebaserede oplevelse. Brug din kritiske tænkning, observation og deduktion fuldt ud. Hele spillet er fleksibelt, så du kan bestemme tempoet – sæt pause, når du ønsker at lægge strategi, og genoptag, når det passer dig. For lidt ekstra spænding kan du konkurrere mod andre hold om at være den hurtigste problemløser, men husk – at løse dette tilfredsstillende kriminelle mysterium er trods alt den største tiltrækningskraft ved dette enestående detektiveventyr.

The story of Vare
During the annual Liberty Festival, the celebration takes a dark turn when a high-ranking official named Balthazar is found dead with a knife in his back. With four suspects in custody and a case full of conflicting alibis and hidden motives, the police turn to the world’s most famous detective for help: Sherlock Holmes. As part of Sherlock’s trusted team, you are tasked with investigating the crime, examining the suspects’ statements and uncovering the truth behind the murder.
Your mission is to piece together clues, analyze evidence and uncover inconsistencies as the story unfolds around you. Each suspect, Maggie, Dean, Jonathan and Charlotte, has something to hide, and only by carefully evaluating their alibis and motives will you discover who is responsible. Work together, think like a detective and race against other teams to reveal the killer before it is too late.
