In City Conquest the centre of Bruges becomes a game board for your whole group: at least two teams race to conquer zones, and other teams can win them back. On the way you pass places like Basiliek van het Heilig Bloed, Stadshallen, and Vismarkt. When time is up, the team with the most points wins; with equal points, the team with the most ducats wins.

How to play
1Explore
Walk through the real city. The map shows every zone:
free, 
taken by a team in its colour, or 
locked for a few minutes. The game starts at 
.
2Conquer
Step into a zone and open its task: a puzzle, a riddle, something to count or a code to crack on the spot, now and then a photo. Get it right and the zone takes your colour
, and you earn 30 ducats 
.
3Defend and take back
Other teams can take your zones once the lock
is over, and you can take theirs. A zone 
stays with the team that conquers it. The first team at a bonus spot 
gets a power-up in its backpack 
.
4Final count
When the time is up, the team with the most points wins; with equal points, the most ducats
. Be at the meeting point 
in time: the herald calls everyone together.
Every zone has ten tasks about what you can really find there. Each team gets a different one, and a new one every time it comes back, so answers can't be passed on.
20 factions
Every zone has a field that fits the place: knowledge at a library, creativity at a museum, charm on a market square, speed on a bridge or quay, power at a fortress or tower. The stronger your faction is in a zone's field, the more points that zone is worth to you, so every faction has its own zones to go for.

Ducats, chests and drops
Chests
Every 20 minutes the herald hides chests 
in the streets. The first team within 30 m opens one: ducats , a potion, a defence or something to leave for others.
The merchant
You start with 50 ducats and earn more by conquering, holding zones and approved photos. Spend them at the merchant 
: you can buy anywhere, and at his spot you get 20% off.
Drops and fog
Leave a bomb, trap, fog, curse or sabotage on the street 
. Only your team sees it; the team that walks into it is hit. Fog 
hides their map beyond 100 m. A scout 
shows drops near you 
: walk to one to defuse it.
Speed potionWait times and zone locks halved for 10 minutes.
Wisdom potionRemoves one wrong answer from your next multiple-choice question.
Strength potionYour next conquest scores double.
ShieldBlocks the next attack on your team (20 seconds to react).
MirrorSends the next attack straight back to the team that left it.
AntidoteEnds fog, a trap or a curse at once.
ScoutShows other teams' drops within 100 m for 2 minutes; walk to one to defuse it.- BombLeave it on the street: the team that walks into it loses 25 points.
TrapLeave it on the street: 3 minutes no conquering and no answering.
FogLeave it on the street: for 4 minutes their map shows only 100 m around them.
CurseLeave it on the street: on their next 2 questions a wrong answer costs double.
SabotageLeave it on the street: steals one thing from their backpack (or 30 ducats).

Two ways to play
Without a game master
You play on your own. The organiser opens the game master page, chooses the default language and the playing time, and starts the game. From then on everything runs by itself on every phone: the zones, the chests, the merchant and the final count.
€19.95 per team
Book and payOften chosen by companiesWith a game master
Someone leads the game from the game master page: follows every team live with its points and zones, sends messages to all teams, adds 15 minutes or stops the game, gives a team a power-up or puts a chest right next to it, and looks at the photos. The game master never sees the answers.
€199.00 including 5 teams, €19.95 per extra team
Book and payThe organiser sets up the game on the game master page (the default language and the playing time) and starts it for all teams.
Every player can pick and switch the language on their own phone.
What the game master sees
Live, on a laptop or tablet: where every team is, who holds which zone, and each team's points, ducats and items. From here the game master gives or takes points, sends a message to one team or to all teams, adds 15 minutes or pauses the game.
How does a City Conquest match work?
A match needs at least 2 teams, each with 1 to 4 players and its own phone. Every team starts by picking a faction, a group with its own story, strengths and characters.
You then walk to the zones marked on the map. Solve the task waiting there and the zone is yours. Rival teams can come and win it back, so you have to think about which zones to hold and which to chase. Points keep counting until the playing time ends. The team on top at that moment wins the game.
Which parts of Bruges become the game board?
The streets of Bruges and the sights on our routes form the playing field. You can expect to cross the Markt below the Belfort and pass the Stadhuis Brugge on the Burg, next to the Basilica of the Holy Blood.
Along the water, the Rozenhoedkaai and De Dijver park are part of the same area, and the statue of Simon Stevin is never far away. Zones lie between these places, so teams criss-cross the old town while they plan their next move. This group game in Bruges turns a familiar walk into a contest of tactics and teamwork.
What does the organiser do?
The organiser is the main booker. They set up the game on the game master page, choose the default language and the playing time, and then start it for all teams at the same moment.
Once it runs, each player can choose and switch the language on their own phone. That helps when your group mixes languages, for example colleagues from several offices or a family gathering from different countries. Everyone reads the tasks in the language they prefer, while the teams still compete in one shared match.
Can you already play other games in Bruges?
Yes. Two games in Bruges can be booked today. Secrets of Bruges leads you past the Belfort, Gallery XPO Salvador Dalí and the Stadhuis Brugge. Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Bruges follows a case past the Torture Museum Oude Steen, Simon Stevin and the Basilica of the Holy Blood.
Both games use the free Loquiz app, take 1.5 to 2 hours and cost €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players. Start whenever you like, every day. Your game stays valid for 12 months.
Do we need a game master?
No. Without a game master you play completely on your own: the person who booked opens the organiser page once, picks the default language and play time and starts the game for all teams; after that everything runs by itself on every phone. A game master (€199.00 incl. 5 teams) is optional, for someone who wants to follow and steer the game live.
Can teams start the game themselves?
You do not need a game master for that: the person who booked starts the game once for all teams on the organiser page, so every team plays the same time. After that everything runs by itself on every phone. A game master is optional, for someone who wants to follow and steer the game live.
Who wins City Conquest?
When time is up, the team with the most points wins; with equal points, the team with the most ducats wins.
What is the minimum number of teams?
City Conquest needs at least 2 teams. A team has 1 to 4 players on one phone.
Can another team take our zone?
Yes. Other teams can win a zone back by solving its task, so defending matters as much as attacking.
Who starts the group game in Bruges?
The organiser who booked sets up the game on the game master page and starts it for every team at once.
Is it suitable for colleagues and families?
Yes. Teams of 1 to 4 players walk together, so it works for a company outing, a group of friends or a family day.
How long do the Bruges games you can book today take?
Secrets of Bruges and Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Bruges each take 1.5 to 2 hours.
