Want to solve a murder mystery in Örebro right on your mobile? Choose the city center version if you want to start at the Engelbrekt statue on Stortorget and let a fictional case give your walk a purpose. The game materials are digital, but you use them on location in the city. This guide will help you distinguish between the right mystery, the right format, and what you need before you start.

A real city and a fictional case
A murder has taken place in the heart of Örebro in the game's fictional story. You need to gather clues, examine what comes to light, and identify the culprit. The case is about investigating and reasoning together, not about knowing the city's history by heart.
Choose the city center case, not Wadköping by mistake
Mysteriet i Örebro and Mysteriet i Wadköping are two different games with different starting points. The city center case begins at the Engelbrekt statue on Stortorget. Check the name in the product and in the email before you gather, especially if someone in the group has already played one of the cases. The fact that both are in Örebro does not make the codes or game routes interchangeable. Follow the instructions for the specific mystery you purchased.
From purchase to the first task
Choose the Mobile Version on the product page and complete the purchase. The activation code and game link will be sent by email. Open the link in your mobile browser, enter the code, and follow the instructions. No app needs to be downloaded, and no booklet is sent by mail. When you are ready, confirm the start of the game period; from that confirmation, you have seven days. Simply entering the code and opening My Games does not start the timer.
Keep the map, interrogations, and evidence close at hand
The mystery is divided into eight parts. Read the tasks, listen to the interrogations, and compare the evidence in the same game. The map helps you between locations, and you can use clues if you get stuck. Have a charged mobile with an internet connection, and consider bringing an extra battery if the phone has already been used a lot during the day. The materials are digital, but you make your observations in the real environment.
Keep the free walk along the river separate from the game route
The Svartån river, the castle, and Stadsparken can add more content to a day in Örebro, but they are not a substitute for the game's map. Visit Örebro describes Stadsparken along the route between the castle and Wadköping. If you want to add such a walk, do it before or after the game and choose the length according to your energy. During the investigation, it is the mobile and the tasks that provide the order, not a standalone tourist guide.
Choose a format for the case you want to solve
The mobile version and the physical booklet contain the same story, locations, and puzzles. Choose the mobile version if you want to receive the material by email and avoid postal delivery. If you have already solved the same mystery, changing formats will not give you a new solution to discover. Always check the product's current information before purchasing, and choose a different case if you want a completely new investigation.
