In City Conquest the centre of Charleroi 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 Église Saint-Christophe, Hôtel de Ville de Charleroi, and Place du Bourdon. 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.
What makes City Conquest different?
City Conquest is a city game where your teams compete directly against each other for zones in Charleroi, instead of each following its own route. Every team chooses a faction, a group with its own story, strengths and characters, which shapes how you play.
You conquer a zone by reaching it and solving the task there. Rival teams can do the same and take the zone back, so the map keeps changing. When the playing time runs out, the points are counted and the team with the most points wins.
Which streets and sights form the board?
The streets and sights on our Charleroi routes are the board for City Conquest. Around Place Charles II and the Charleroi Belfry, teams can find themselves heading for the same zone, while the Musée de la Photographie gives another landmark to steer by.
Playing a group game in Charleroi this way gets everybody walking and talking. One player reads the map, another takes on the task, someone else watches where the other teams are going. It suits colleagues looking for a team outing as well as friends and families who like a bit of friendly rivalry.
How does the organiser start the game?
The organiser, the person who books, sets up the game on the game master page and starts it for all teams. That is where you choose the default language and the playing time.
The game cannot begin without the organiser starting it, so every team plays the same length of time. Each player can pick and switch the language on their own phone, which helps when not everyone in the group speaks the same language.
Which Charleroi game is ready to book?
The Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Charleroi can be booked today. You take on a detective murder case on foot, from the town hall to the belfry and the Basilica of Saint Christopher, using the free Loquiz app. On the way you see Place Charles II.
The price is €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players, and the game takes 1.5–2 hours. Start whenever you like, any day of the week. 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 two teams. A team has 1 to 4 players and plays on its own phone.
Can we switch language during the game?
Yes. Each player can pick and switch the language on their own phone, whatever default the organiser chose.
What happens when another team reaches our zone?
They can solve the task there and win the zone back. Zones can change hands until the time is up.
Does someone need to lead the game?
Yes. The organiser sets up the game on the game master page and starts it for all teams.
Can I play a game in Charleroi with my group today?
Yes, the Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Charleroi. It costs €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players.
