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 puzzle exploration guide you?
Secrets of Coimbra combines a self-guided walk through stone archways and courtyards with puzzles and photo tasks. Your city game Coimbra passes Almedina Arch first, then Sub-Ripas Palace Arch and afterwards Quebra Costas Stairs. These places accompany the route while the tasks give your team different activities to work through together.
You open this game in your own phone browser, without needing an app. Plan around 1.5 to 2 hours. Choose this story if you want both puzzles and photo tasks in your outing. You can share the instructions and compare ideas as you look around, keeping the walk and the selected game part of the same conversation at the pace of your group.
Which route belongs to the detective mystery?
Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Coimbra gives your group an investigation using the free Loquiz app. You see Joanina Library first, then the University of Coimbra and afterwards Arco de Almedina. The case follows its own route through the city and is a separate story from the puzzle-and-photo exploration.
Allow around 1.5 to 2 hours and use your own phone. Decide before beginning whether investigating a murder is the task your team wants. One player can call up clues and read them aloud while everyone offers thoughts about the information. That keeps the case a shared activity throughout your self-guided walk, with all players able to contribute as you follow the selected story together.
What should your Coimbra team arrange?
Your city game Coimbra costs €19.95 per team using one phone with at most four players. This team limit applies to both stories. Put your group together within that size and agree whether you want puzzles with photo tasks or the detective case. The choice also determines the technology you use.
You can begin whenever you like and should reserve around 1.5 to 2 hours. Use your phone browser for Secrets of Coimbra or the free Loquiz app for the murder mystery. Friends or colleagues can choose the activity that interests them and follow it together within the team limit. Sharing the clues lets everyone notice the surroundings and discuss ideas, connecting the walk with a common task for your group.
Which story has puzzles and photo tasks?
Secrets of Coimbra combines both on a self-guided walking tour.
Can we use a browser for that tour?
Yes. Secrets of Coimbra runs on your own phone without an app.
How is the detective case played?
Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Coimbra uses the free Loquiz app.
How long should our team allow?
Plan around 1.5 to 2 hours for either game.
