A date in Haga can be more than two cups of coffee and the question of where to go next. With a murder mystery on your phone, you'll have something to investigate together between conversations. You play on location in Gothenburg, receive the game code by email, and don't need to pick up any booklet. Here is a plan for two people who want to do something together without a packed schedule.

Let Hagakyrkan be your common starting point
Decide to meet at Hagakyrkan and open the introduction together. If you have already had a coffee break, you don't need to let that dictate where the game itself begins. The starting point and map exist for a reason: to give you the right context for the tasks. Also tell each other if either of you wants a slower pace. A good date doesn't require you to solve every part as quickly as possible.
Solve the director's case as a team of two
The case of Valdemar Hedin gives you something else to talk about besides the next question about work or leisure. Let one person read and the other summarize the evidence, then switch. Try to come up with two possible explanations before choosing one. This gives both of you a chance to contribute and prevents an initial guess from becoming a decision just because one of you expressed it more confidently.
Choose a coffee break without making it a requirement
Gothenburg's official guide describes Haga Nygata with its small shops and cafes. Let it be a separate option, not a list of places you must fit in. Choose based on what is open and where you actually want to sit that day. A walk up to Skansen Kronan is also a separate activity, not something you should assume is included in the game route. It is better to leave some flexibility in the plan.
Do a quick tech check before you go
Check that the purchase is for the Mobile Version and that the email with the code and game link has arrived. Have a charged phone and an internet connection. No app or printout is needed. You start the game period with a special confirmation and then have seven days to play, so a purchase does not mean the entire investigation has to begin right at the moment of purchase. Also check the weather and the day's conditions for an outdoor activity.
Choose what is actually new for both of you
The mobile format is practical if you want to avoid the post, but it is not a new case compared to the same city's booklet. If one of you already knows the solution, another mystery will be a better choice for a joint investigation. If you are both new to the story, you can divide the reading, listening, and observations without specific game roles. The important thing is that you experience the material together, not that someone has prepared a perfect answer key.

Frequently asked questions
Can we solve the murder mystery in Haga directly on our phones?
Yes. Choose the Mobile Version of The Mystery in Haga. After purchase, you will receive an activation code and game link via email. The material opens in your web browser, but the game is played on location in Haga, Gothenburg.
Do we need to download an app or wait for a booklet?
No. The mobile version is played in your phone's web browser with an internet connection. No game booklet is sent by mail. Make sure you have selected the Mobile Version, not the physical format, before completing the purchase.
Where does the mobile mystery in Haga begin?
The starting point is Haga Church in Haga, Gothenburg. Check the current starting instructions in the game and then follow the map and clues. A standalone walk in the area is not the same as the mystery's route.
Is the game suitable for a date if one of us isn't used to solving puzzles?
You can start by reading together, sharing your observations, and using clues if you get stuck. No special game roles need to be assigned. Choose based on what you both think is fun; a murder story is not for everyone.
Can we take a coffee break during the date?
You can pause and continue during the activated game period. You arrange coffee, restaurants, and other visits separately and check their opening hours. They are not automatically included in the purchase of the mystery.
Is the Mobile Version a different case from the physical booklet?
No. It is the same story, locations, and puzzles in a different format. If someone has already solved The Mystery in Haga, it is wise to choose a different mystery for a new joint investigation.
