    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.

Where does the basilica fit into your day?

The Basilica of Our Lady is a church at Stadhuisplein 1 in Tongeren, passed by both featured walking games. It can be an architectural pause within the game rather than the only destination of your outing. Look at the building with your companions and decide whether a separate church visit interests you too. If it does, organise that independently and allow additional time around the walk. This gives you a clearer plan: the game supplies an activity connecting city places, while any other visits have their own place in the day. Your group remains in charge of the pace.

How do the two routes approach this church?

Secrets of Tongeren and Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Tongeren both pass the basilica. The exploration walk is described as going from the Ambiorix statue through the city's Gallo-Roman past, with puzzles and photo tasks. You see the Pliniuspark Main Entrance and Gallo-Roman Museum before the basilica. The detective walk follows a case from the Ambiorix statue towards the beguinage, passing the museum, basilica and medieval Moerenpoort gate. Compare the activities rather than choosing only by the church: the exploration option offers varied tasks, while the detective story gives your companions an investigation to discuss as you explore on foot.

Which setup will work for your companions?

Secrets of Tongeren plays in the browser on your own phone with no app, while the detective story uses the free Loquiz app. Both last 1.5 to 2 hours and cost €19.95 per team, with at most 4 players on one phone. Decide which story and shared device to use before beginning. Make the reading and discussion something everyone can join, whether you come as a couple or with friends or colleagues. You can start whenever you want, every day, and the game stays valid for 12 months. Choose the experience first, then settle the timing around your own plans.
