    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 search for Peter’s blueprints?

Secrets of Zaandam asks you to help Tsar Peter the Great recover his stolen blueprints. This city game Zaandam passes Monument Februaristaking 1941 first, then the Tsar Peter the Great Statue and afterwards Dam 1 and 1b. The search provides a shared objective while these places accompany your route through the city.

You play in your own phone browser, without needing an app. Allow around 1.5 to 2 hours. Choose this story if you want an exploration with a specific recovery task. You can follow the clues and compare thoughts as you go, looking around as well as using the phone while the group moves at its own pace through Zaandam.

How does the murder route differ?

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Zaandam gives your team an investigation using the free Loquiz app. You see Monument Februaristaking 1941 first, then the Tsar Peter the Great Statue and afterwards Grote Sluis, also called Hondemansluis. Some places overlap with the exploration, while the detective case follows a different story.

Plan around 1.5 to 2 hours and use your own phone. Decide before beginning whether a murder investigation is the activity your group wants. The clues give everyone something to discuss during the walk. One player can share the information from the screen while all players compare ideas, keeping the task a common topic as you follow the case through the city together.

What should your team know before starting?
