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.

Which game follows Bernini’s lost chisel?
Secrets of Rome asks you to help Gian Lorenzo Bernini recover his lost chisel, the Vero Colpo. You see the Ara Pacis Museum, Mausoleum of Augustus and Fountain of the Porto di Ripetta along the route. The search offers a common aim as you walk, rather than a screen activity for only one family member. Read the next instruction aloud and invite the children to explain their ideas before responding. This quest runs in the browser on your own phone, with no app required to take part.

What does the detective option explore?
Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Rome takes a case from the Monumento a Vittorio Emanuele II to the Pantheon and Trevi Fountain. Its listed sights include the Capitoline Museum, Sistine Chapel and Pantheon. For a family day out Rome, choose it when the murder investigation is the story you want to discuss together. Talk through the premise with your children before deciding. Let the team compare theories during play so the adult holding the phone is not making every choice. This game requires the free Loquiz app.
How can you make one phone work for everyone?
A Rome game costs €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players, with around 1.5 to 2 hours of play. Before your family day out Rome, choose the phone and prepare the browser or app your story needs. Share the reading and encourage everyone to look around, then gather the suggestions before entering the team's response. Children can take part through observation as well as words on the screen. Begin whenever you want on any day, within the game's 12-month validity, and choose your own family time.
Does the Bernini quest require a download?
No. Secrets of Rome runs in your own phone browser, with no app needed.
Where does the detective case start?
Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Rome begins at the Monumento a Vittorio Emanuele II and continues towards the Pantheon and Trevi Fountain.
What does the family team price cover?
The charge is per team using one phone, with at most 4 players. Both games take around 1.5 to 2 hours.
Can we select the theme with our children?
Discuss the lost-chisel quest and the detective murder case, then choose the story your family wants to share.
