Overview

Investigate a murder through the streets of old Funchal. In this self-guided detective game, you'll team up with Corrado, a determined old man searching for the truth about his brother's death.

Follow his clues across 10 real locations, from the São Tiago Fortress to the painted doors of Rua de Santa Maria, the Lavradores Market, and the historic Fábrica Santo António.

Play at your own pace using the Questo app. Solve puzzles, interrogate suspects, and piece together the evidence to unmask the killer. Along the way, you'll discover hidden corners of Funchal that most tourists never see — underground tunnel stories, the secrets of Madeira wine, and the island's pirate-fighting past.

No fixed schedule, no group to join. Start anytime between 7 AM and 5 PM. The game takes about 2 hours and covers 2.3 km of easy walking.

Perfect for couples, friends, or families looking for something more memorable than a standard city tour.
