    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.

Why stop at St. Joseph's Church?

St. Joseph's Church is a church in the centre of Aalst, on the way towards the Grote Markt and the old town. Plenty of people walk past it without a second look.

In the game, you slow down. You compare what you see with the hint on your screen, search for one specific detail and answer before moving on. It is also a calm moment to catch your breath between puzzles. Kids enjoy being the first to spot the clue, while adults notice a building they might have missed on an ordinary walk. Take a team photo while you are there.

The Secrets of Aalst route around the church

Secrets of Aalst is a self-guided walk around the Grote Markt and the old centre, with puzzles and photo tasks at every stop. The route starts at the Chapel of St. Anthony of Padua, passes St. Joseph's Church and then heads on to St. Martin's Church and the Oude Vismarkt, the old fish market.

You play at your own pace, with no guide and no fixed start time. Each answer unlocks the next part of the story. Allow 1.5 to 2 hours for the full route. It works well for families, groups of friends, couples and colleagues who want to see Aalst in a playful way.
