Wir (Mein Mann, unsere 9-jährige Tochter und ich) haben heute ganz spontan das Spiel "Moordmysterie Düsseldorf" gebucht und gespielt. Die Buchung verlief schnell und reibungslos. Es hat super viel Spaß gemacht! Die Story, die Rätsel, das Konzept, die Route, die Gestaltung der App... richtig gut!!! Das Spiel würde ich vor allem Familien mit Kindern empfehlen. Für Erwachsene waren die Rätsel (meiner Meinung nach) zu einfach. Aber trotzdem wegen der schönen Route durch Düsseldorf, der Story, den lustigen Anweisungen zwischendurch eine schöne Aktion, die man zusammen machen kann.

I had a fantastic experience with CityGame! The concept is creative, engaging, and a great way to explore a city in a completely new way. The games are well-designed, combining puzzles, storytelling, and adventure so you’re constantly discovering something interesting around every corner. What I especially love is how CityGame turns a normal walk through the city into an interactive experience. It’s perfect for friends, families, or team outings, and it makes sightseeing much more exciting than the usual tours. Everything was easy to use, the challenges were fun and clever, and it really encouraged us to look closer at the city and its hidden details. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a unique and memorable way to explore!

This is an interesting way to conduct a self-guided Amsterdam city tour. It used the GPS on your phone to guide you to stops on a route. There are mini quizzes once you arrive at the stops on the path. The quizzes draw your attention to features in front of you or to a brief history of the place. In many cases, we visited a spot that would not have been obvious as a regular passer by. The tour as a whole was interesting to us as newcomers, but I would have liked more information on many locations we visited - a few links outside of the app for each place would have been helpful. Beyond that, the interface was a bit clunky and sometimes awkward to navigate. We definitely don't regret trying this out and feel like we got our money's worth on the experience.

Which story can four friends explore together?
Secrets of Edinburgh follows Maggie Dickson through the closes and wynds as you track down the cursed Hangman's Hood. Along the walk you see the statue of Walter Francis Montagu Douglas Scott and Greyfriars Bobby Statue. The game runs in the browser on your own phone, with no app needed, for at most four players per team.
Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Edinburgh takes a detective case from Canongate Kirk up the Royal Mile to St Giles' Cathedral. It also allows four players sharing a phone, but uses the free Loquiz app. Choose the story your friends would enjoy discussing, and arrange a device for every team in a larger party.

What does the outdoor escape story involve?
The Edinburgh Syndicate (outdoor escape game) follows Magnus and the stolen formulas past St Giles' Cathedral, Museum on the Mound and New College. It allows at most five players per team, using one phone with the free Loquiz app. Your friends guide themselves through the streets and follow the outdoor story at their own pace.
For a bachelor or bachelorette group, the five-person limit gives you another way to organise teams. Everyone can bring ideas to the discussion rather than leaving decisions to the phone holder. Keep the rivalry relaxed as the story gives the party a common challenge. Choose this option when an outdoor chase sounds like the right opening activity for your celebration.
How can we fit the activity around our day?
Each Edinburgh game takes 1.5 to 2 hours and costs €19.95 per team. Work out the number of teams your guest list needs using the four-player limit for exploration or detective play, and five for the outdoor escape game. Each team follows its activity on one phone, so larger parties need several team bookings and devices.
You can start whenever you want, every day, and your booking stays valid for 12 months. Select your story before assigning friends and check its phone setup. Then agree a start together and allow space for the walking activity in the day's plans. No guide leads the game, leaving your group to organise its own beginning.
Can we choose an option without an app?
Secrets of Edinburgh runs in the browser on your own phone, with no app needed.
Which story features Maggie Dickson?
Secrets of Edinburgh follows Maggie Dickson as you track down the cursed Hangman's Hood.
Can a bachelorette party play?
Yes. These games suit bachelor and bachelorette groups in small teams with friendly competition.
How many people can join a detective team?
Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Edinburgh allows at most four players per team on one phone.
