In City Conquest the centre of Tallinn becomes a game board for your whole group: at least two teams race to conquer zones, and other teams can win them back. On the way you pass places like Raekoda, Keskaegsete piinariistade muuseum, and Von Krahli Teater. When time is up, the team with the most points wins; with equal points, the team with the most ducats wins.

How to play
1Explore
Walk through the real city. The map shows every zone:
free, 
taken by a team in its colour, or 
locked for a few minutes. The game starts at 
.
2Conquer
Step into a zone and open its task: a puzzle, a riddle, something to count or a code to crack on the spot, now and then a photo. Get it right and the zone takes your colour
, and you earn 30 ducats 
.
3Defend and take back
Other teams can take your zones once the lock
is over, and you can take theirs. A zone 
stays with the team that conquers it. The first team at a bonus spot 
gets a power-up in its backpack 
.
4Final count
When the time is up, the team with the most points wins; with equal points, the most ducats
. Be at the meeting point 
in time: the herald calls everyone together.
Every zone has ten tasks about what you can really find there. Each team gets a different one, and a new one every time it comes back, so answers can't be passed on.
20 factions
Every zone has a field that fits the place: knowledge at a library, creativity at a museum, charm on a market square, speed on a bridge or quay, power at a fortress or tower. The stronger your faction is in a zone's field, the more points that zone is worth to you, so every faction has its own zones to go for.

Ducats, chests and drops
Chests
Every 20 minutes the herald hides chests 
in the streets. The first team within 30 m opens one: ducats , a potion, a defence or something to leave for others.
The merchant
You start with 50 ducats and earn more by conquering, holding zones and approved photos. Spend them at the merchant 
: you can buy anywhere, and at his spot you get 20% off.
Drops and fog
Leave a bomb, trap, fog, curse or sabotage on the street 
. Only your team sees it; the team that walks into it is hit. Fog 
hides their map beyond 100 m. A scout 
shows drops near you 
: walk to one to defuse it.
Speed potionWait times and zone locks halved for 10 minutes.
Wisdom potionRemoves one wrong answer from your next multiple-choice question.
Strength potionYour next conquest scores double.
ShieldBlocks the next attack on your team (20 seconds to react).
MirrorSends the next attack straight back to the team that left it.
AntidoteEnds fog, a trap or a curse at once.
ScoutShows other teams' drops within 100 m for 2 minutes; walk to one to defuse it.- BombLeave it on the street: the team that walks into it loses 25 points.
TrapLeave it on the street: 3 minutes no conquering and no answering.
FogLeave it on the street: for 4 minutes their map shows only 100 m around them.
CurseLeave it on the street: on their next 2 questions a wrong answer costs double.
SabotageLeave it on the street: steals one thing from their backpack (or 30 ducats).

Two ways to play
Without a game master
You play on your own. The organiser opens the game master page, chooses the default language and the playing time, and starts the game. From then on everything runs by itself on every phone: the zones, the chests, the merchant and the final count.
€19.95 per team
Book and payOften chosen by companiesWith a game master
Someone leads the game from the game master page: follows every team live with its points and zones, sends messages to all teams, adds 15 minutes or stops the game, gives a team a power-up or puts a chest right next to it, and looks at the photos. The game master never sees the answers.
€199.00 including 5 teams, €19.95 per extra team
Book and payThe organiser sets up the game on the game master page (the default language and the playing time) and starts it for all teams.
Every player can pick and switch the language on their own phone.
What the game master sees
Live, on a laptop or tablet: where every team is, who holds which zone, and each team's points, ducats and items. From here the game master gives or takes points, sends a message to one team or to all teams, adds 15 minutes or pauses the game.
What is City Conquest?
City Conquest is a city game in which teams of 1 to 4 players battle for zones in Tallinn, and the team with the most points when time runs out wins.
At the start, each team chooses a faction with its own story, strengths and characters. Then you set off. Every zone on the map comes with a task. Solve it and the zone is yours. Another team can take it back, so the lead keeps changing and your team has to agree quickly on the next move.
Where in Tallinn do you play?
Tallinn's streets and the sights on our routes are the game board. You play around Raekoja plats, the Holy Spirit Church and the Gustav Adolfi Gümnaasium in the old town.
Higher up, the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Pikk jalg and the Patkuli Viewing Platform are part of the area, and the Cross of Liberty stands nearby. Between the lower town and Toompea there are hills to climb, so think carefully before sending your team uphill for a zone that someone else might already be chasing.
How does the organiser start the group game?
The group game in Tallinn is set up by the organiser, the person who books. On the game master page they choose the default language and the playing time, then start the game for all teams.
Every player can still pick a language on their own phone and switch it at any time. That makes the game easy to share with friends, colleagues or family who speak different languages.
Which games can you play in Tallinn today?
In Tallinn you can book three games today and start whenever you like, every day. Secrets of Tallinn runs in the browser on your own phone, no app needed, and takes you past the Cross of Liberty and the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral as you help Vana Thomas recover a sacred arrow.
Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Tallinn heads up to Toompea Castle. The Tallinn Syndicate (outdoor escape game) starts at Raekoja plats and passes the Holy Spirit Church. Each game takes 1.5 to 2 hours and costs €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players, or 5 for The Syndicate.
Do we need a game master?
No. Without a game master you play completely on your own: the person who booked opens the organiser page once, picks the default language and play time and starts the game for all teams; after that everything runs by itself on every phone. A game master (€199.00 incl. 5 teams) is optional, for someone who wants to follow and steer the game live.
Can teams start the game themselves?
You do not need a game master for that: the person who booked starts the game once for all teams on the organiser page, so every team plays the same time. After that everything runs by itself on every phone. A game master is optional, for someone who wants to follow and steer the game live.
Who wins City Conquest?
When time is up, the team with the most points wins; with equal points, the team with the most ducats wins.
How many people do you need for City Conquest?
At least 2 teams of 1 to 4 players. Each team plays on its own phone.
Can another team take our zone?
Yes. If they solve the task at that zone, it becomes theirs until you win it back.
Who starts the game?
The organiser starts it for all teams from the game master page, after choosing the language and playing time.
Do I need an app for Secrets of Tallinn?
No. Secrets of Tallinn runs in the browser on your own phone.
