Duisburg Self-Guided Detective Murder Mystery Game

The starting point is the Rathaus in Duisburg, with the Church of Our Saviour a few steps away, and from there the route drops down to the water at the Innenhafen. Along the quays you come past the Museum Küppersmühle before the trail turns back inland. It is a self-guided murder mystery game, and the case is worked out while you walk. The route in Duisburg mixes the harbour front with a stretch of ordinary city streets and none of it is steep, so families with children, groups of friends, couples and colleagues all manage it, and one player alone can as well. A team is four people at most, sharing a single phone, and a larger group splits into teams that go their own way. There is no guide and no fixed moment of departure.
