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 do you follow the lost-lyre story?
Secrets of Bologna asks you to chase clues and help Nero Claudius Caesar recover his lost lyre. Your city game Bologna passes the Statue of Pope Gregory XIII first, then the Wishing Well and afterwards Neptune’s Fountain. These places form part of the route while the search gives your walk a common purpose.
You play in the browser on your own phone, with no app needed. Allow around 1.5 to 2 hours. If your group wants a search with a specific objective, the missing instrument gives you that focus. You can share clues, compare thoughts and notice the surroundings as you walk, keeping the game a conversation for your whole team.

What does the detective game show along the way?
Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Bologna turns your outing into a detective case using the free Loquiz app. You see Palazzo Malvezzi de' Medici first, then Statua di Camillo Cavour and afterwards Fontana del Nettuno. The route belongs to the investigation and is separate from the lost-lyre exploration.
You use your own phone and should plan around 1.5 to 2 hours. Decide together whether investigating a murder is the task you want to follow. Reading the clues aloud lets everyone add ideas while the person with the phone shares the information. You can discuss the case as you move at your own pace, making the investigation part of your shared walk rather than a task for just one player.
What are the team price and starting conditions?
Your city game Bologna costs €19.95 per team, with one phone and at most four players. The same team limit applies to both stories. Assemble your group within this size and agree whether you want to search for the lyre or investigate the mystery before opening the game.
You can begin whenever you like and should set aside around 1.5 to 2 hours. The search runs in your browser; the murder case uses the free Loquiz app. Agree which phone your team will share and who will call up the clues. The other players can offer thoughts and look around as you walk, keeping the story connected with a group activity everyone can follow.
