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.

What does the family puzzle walk involve?
Secrets of Glasgow starts at Mitchell Street with puzzles and photo tasks in the centre. You follow the self-guided exploration game through the free Loquiz app on your own phone. For a family day out Glasgow, ask the children whether puzzles and photo tasks interest them before choosing the activity. Parents can share the information and invite ideas as the group works through the game. Look around as you walk so the surroundings remain part of the outing. Your family sets the pace, keeping the phone a tool for the whole team rather than leaving one person to follow the activity while the others simply walk along through the city.

Where does the detective case take your family?
Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Glasgow runs through Merchant City from George Square towards St Andrew’s in the Square. Glasgow City Chambers and Merchant Square also feature along the route. You investigate through the free Loquiz app with at most four players sharing one phone. Discuss the murder-mystery theme as a family before selecting it. During the walk, parents can read the information with the children and invite their interpretations of the case. Give everyone time to understand the story before deciding what your team thinks. The self-guided format leaves the pace to your family, keeping the investigation a common conversation while exploring the city together on foot.
