In City Conquest the centre of Leuven 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 Sint-Pieterskerk, Bloemenmarkt, and Oude Markt. 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 is City Conquest?
City Conquest is a competitive group game in which teams play against each other across Leuven and the team with the most points when time is up wins.
The idea is simple. Zones are marked on the map. Reach one, solve its task and it counts for your team. But nothing is safe: another team can walk to the same zone, solve it and win it back. So you keep weighing your options. Do you guard the zones you have, or go after the ones your rivals hold? Your faction gives your team its own flavour, which makes the rivalry more personal and the talk afterwards more fun.
How does the organiser run the game?
The person who books is the organiser and starts City Conquest for every team from the game master page. Before the start, the organiser chooses the default language and how long the game lasts.
The game only begins when the organiser starts it, so all teams set off together and finish at the same moment. During play, every player can choose and change the language on their own phone. That helps when your group mixes nationalities, which is easy to imagine in a student city. Colleagues on a team outing, a group of friends or a family reunion can all join in.
Where in Leuven do the teams play?
The game board is Leuven itself: its streets and the sights on our routes. Picture teams criss-crossing between the Oude Markt, M Leuven, the Botanical Garden and the Ladeuzeplein while they hunt for zones.
Because you choose your own path from zone to zone, this group game in Leuven feels like a race through the centre. You will bump into rival teams, spot them heading for your zone and change plans on the spot.
Can you book other games in Leuven now?
Yes, two City Game games in Leuven can be booked today. Secrets of Leuven is a self-guided walk with puzzles and photo tasks through the streets and squares around the Grote Markt. Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Leuven is a detective case on foot, taking you past the Oude Markt and M Leuven towards the Ladeuzeplein.
Both use the free Loquiz app, take 1.5 to 2 hours and cost €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players. You start whenever you like.
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.
How many players can join a team?
Each team has 1 to 4 players and plays on its own phone. You need at least two teams for City Conquest.
How do you score points?
You walk to a zone, solve its task and conquer it. Other teams can win zones back, and the team with the most points at the end wins.
Who decides how long the game lasts?
The organiser sets the playing time and the default language on the game master page, then starts the game for all teams.
Is the group game good for colleagues?
Yes, teams compete against each other, which makes it a lively choice for a team outing in Leuven. Friends and families can play it the same way.
