A Family Adventure in Örebro

When I first heard about the Sherlock Holmes City Game in Örebro, I was immediately intrigued. As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for activities that can engage both adults and children, and this self-guided murder mystery tour seemed like the perfect fit. With its promise of flexibility and fun, I knew it was something my family would enjoy.

The city itself is charming, with its cobblestone streets and historic buildings, providing the perfect backdrop for our mystery-solving adventure. Armed with our smartphones and a sense of curiosity, we set off to unravel the mystery of Balthasar’s murder.

Solving Mysteries Together

The game was designed to be played at our own pace, which was a huge plus for our family. With three kids in tow, flexibility is key, and the ability to pause and continue the game whenever we needed was a lifesaver. We started at Stortorget, the heart of Örebro, where the game began with a series of intriguing puzzles and challenges.

Each location we visited offered a new clue or character to interact with, and the kids were thrilled to take on the roles of junior detectives. The puzzles were engaging yet easy enough for the whole family to enjoy, and the photo challenges added an extra layer of fun. We laughed, we puzzled, and we bonded over our shared mission to solve the mystery.

A Memorable Experience

As we made our way through the city, I couldn’t help but appreciate how the game encouraged us to explore Örebro in a unique way. We discovered hidden corners and beautiful spots we might have otherwise missed, all while working together as a team. The sense of accomplishment we felt when we finally solved the mystery was the cherry on top of an already fantastic day.
