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.

How does the museum fit into the Ypres walk?
Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Ypres passes Hooge Crater Museum on a route from the Cloth Hall to St Martin's Cathedral and the Menin Gate. These real places give your group settings to notice while the fictional murder case supplies questions to discuss. Their real significance remains separate from the game's premise.
At the museum, look around before returning to another instruction on your phone. Passing a place on a route and arranging an independent visit are different plans. Leave additional sightseeing time alongside the activity, so your group can follow the walking investigation without trying to include every other visit inside its playing duration.

What should you allow before setting off?
The Ypres game costs €19.95 per team and takes 1.5 to 2 hours. One phone serves at most 4 players. Decide on your shared device and companions before beginning, and allow space for walking between settings as well as working through the challenges together.
You can begin whenever you want, every day, within a validity period of 12 months. Choose a moment that fits your visit and the people joining you. Any independent visits can have their own time around the game. Open the app ready to share the questions, letting the fictional case provide a common thread while the real places get attention appropriate to them.
How do you keep the detective work shared?
Your team solves riddles and photo tasks in the free Loquiz app on one phone. The Ypres activity is self-guided, without an accompanying guide leading your group. Read each question where everyone can hear it, hear the suggestions and choose an answer together.
A partner might interpret a challenge another way, while friends or colleagues may offer different approaches. Give those ideas room in the conversation even if the device stays with the same player. Taking turns contributing keeps the case open to everyone, while the real surroundings along the route provide more to notice than only the next answer on the screen as you continue walking.
