Ostend Self-Guided Detective Murder Mystery Game

Leopold Park is where the trail begins in Ostend, a few streets back from the sea. It runs past the Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, out to the Mercator lying in the marina, and along to the Kursaal on the front. This is a self-guided detective game, played on foot and solved as you go. Ostend is flat and the walking between markers is short, which makes it manageable for families with children, groups of friends, couples and colleagues, and it can be done alone. A team is four people at most, sharing one phone, while bigger groups buy extra tickets and go out as separate teams. The wind off the sea is part of the day here, so teams often duck into a side street to compare notes. No guide comes with you, and you start when you want to.

Pause for chips on the promenade, come back to the case, and close it in Ostend.
