    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.

What exploration walk can friends follow?

Secrets of Manchester combines puzzles and photo tasks with a self-guided walk past John Rylands Library and Manchester Cathedral. It runs in the browser on your own phone, with no app needed, and allows at most four players per team. Your friends can share observations while exploring together at their own pace.

Choose this option when varied walking tasks sound right for your group. One person handles the screen, but everyone can suggest an approach and help decide what to do next. Keep the conversation open to the whole team as you follow the activity. Arrange several small groups with their own phones if more friends want to join, making the challenge a shared beginning within the player limit.

Where does the detective story take our team?

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Manchester follows a case from Albert Square to the cathedral. The route also passes Manchester Town Hall. It uses the free Loquiz app on your own phone and allows at most four players per team, following the self-guided walk at your own pace.

Pick this story when your bachelor or bachelorette group wants to investigate together. Decide which friends will share each phone and invite everyone to offer ideas during the activity. Keep competition relaxed, giving the celebration a common detective focus. There is no guide leading the group or making its next decisions, so each team works through the case and discusses how to proceed together during the walk through the city.

How do we organise time, bookings and the beginning?

Each Manchester game costs €19.95 per team and takes 1.5 to 2 hours. At most four players share one team phone. Count the teams your guests need before booking, since a larger party requires several bookings and devices within that limit.

You can begin whenever you want, every day, and the booking stays valid for 12 months. Choose the exploration activity or detective case first, assign friends and check the phone setup. Exploration runs in a browser, while the mystery uses an app. Agree a start together and leave enough space for the walk within your plans. The self-guided format lets your group organise its own beginning and follow the chosen activity together during the opening of the celebration.

Which option works without an app?

Secrets of Manchester runs in the browser on your own phone, with no app needed.

Can a bachelorette group take part?

Yes. These games suit bachelor or bachelorette groups in small teams with friendly competition.

How many friends share one device?

Both games allow at most four players per team using one phone.

Is the cost charged per person?

The price is €19.95 per team within its player limit, using one phone.
