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.

What happened to the Golden Parade Cape?
Secrets of Mechelen asks you to help a performer recover his Golden Parade Cape after wind, chaos and a suspicious pigeon send it astray. Along the route you see Grote Markt and Margaret of Austria Statue, then Schepenhuis and Jef Denynplein. You play in your own phone’s browser, with no app needed. Up to four players can share one team, and the game takes 1.5 to 2 hours. This city game Mechelen gives your exploration a particular search to discuss. Read the clues and compare them with what each player notices as you walk. You handle the activity independently, bringing different ideas into the conversation before deciding how the group will continue.

Where do you follow the detective case?
Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Mechelen leads from the town hall on Grand Place to Saint Rumbold’s Cathedral. Its route takes you past ZOO Planckendael, followed by Kazerne Dossin – Memorial and Museum Hof van Busleyden. A team of up to four players can investigate using one phone with the free Loquiz app. The activity takes 1.5 to 2 hours. If your group would rather work through a murder case than follow the cape story, this offers another task for your walk. Read the clues together and hear several possible interpretations. You explore at your own pace, using everyone’s observations to decide how to approach the next part of the investigation as a team.
How do you organise your phone, team and time?
Each Mechelen game costs €19.95 per team sharing one phone, with up to four players. Before your city game Mechelen, choose which story appeals to your friends, family, colleagues or partner. Secrets plays in the browser, while the detective game uses the free Loquiz app. Both take 1.5 to 2 hours. You can start every day whenever you like, and the game is valid for 12 months. Agree on a suitable moment together and explore without a guide. Share the task by comparing ideas and listening to what different players notice. The phone carries the chosen story while your team makes its own decisions and keeps the activity moving during the walk.
