    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.

Along the route you see Vulcan Lane and Queen Street, followed by Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki on Wellesley Street East and Emily Place Reserve.

How can children help with the story?

The detective game uses one phone shared by your team, so parents and children can follow the same information. Read it aloud and invite the children to explain their theories before adults add their own. Ask what led them to their idea and compare the possibilities before agreeing a response. Discuss the murder story when choosing your outing, so the family makes that decision together. During play, share reading and observation rather than leaving every choice to the phone holder. Everyone can then take a role in the conversation, even when someone else is holding the device.

What should you prepare for your family’s outing?

The game costs €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players, and takes around 1.5 to 2 hours. Start whenever you want, every day; your game remains valid for 12 months. To arrange a family day out Auckland, choose your day together and prepare the free Loquiz app before heading towards Town Hall and Aotea Square. Leave the playing time available and decide how everyone will hear the information. You explore independently, with your family determining the walking pace and the answers as you share the detective discussion on the way towards Albert Park.
