Santa Cruz de la Sierra Self-Guided Detective Murder Mystery Game

Manzana Uno Espacio de Arte, on the main square, is where the investigation begins in Santa Cruz de la Sierra. From the door the route crosses September 24 Square to the Metropolitan Cathedral of San Lorenzo, and then reaches the Casa Municipal de Cultura Raúl Otero Reiche a block further on. This is a self-guided detective game, played on foot in the old centre. The grid of streets around the plaza is flat and shaded by arcades, which makes Santa Cruz de la Sierra comfortable ground for families with children, friends, couples and colleagues; a single player manages it as well. One ticket covers a team of up to four people sharing one phone, and bigger groups play as several teams alongside each other. No guide walks ahead of you, and you decide yourself at what hour the case opens. How to playThe game is handled through an app on your own phone, in four steps.

Clues arrive as codes to break, photo tasks to complete and digital characters whose accounts of the evening contradict one another. Between the Noel Kempff Mercado Natural History Museum and the shaded walks of Parque El Arenal, the list of suspects grows shorter. With more than one team on the trail the game turns competitive, which is why it also serves as a teambuilding outing. Break for lunch under the galleries, come back when you are ready, and close the case in the streets of Santa Cruz de la Sierra.
