FAQ about City Game

The game does not work. What might be the reason for this?

Have you downloaded the Loquiz app? If you have completed the steps (login code/team name/participants), then the game will only start once you have pressed the start button. Did you do this? Then walk a bit and zoom out on your screen to find yourself (the blue dot) on the map.

What should I do if my phone’s battery dies during the game?

First of all, we recommend that you play the game on the phone of the team member that has the longest battery life. This is often the most recent and most expensive phone. If your battery runs low during the game, you can continue playing on another phone. In this case, go through the following steps:
– Leave the game on the phone that is about to turn off.
– Log in on the new phone with your personal login details.
– Close the window with the game info.
– Press start.
– Do not re-enter your team name and team members but press ‘or resume with existing team’.
– Continue the city game with the new phone.

Note: The time you spend switching to a new phone will be deducted from your playing time! The time you see in the app after switching over is therefore no longer correct…

I use an iPhone, but the pins on the map do not work. What should I do?

Chances are that you are using an outdated version of iOS or the Loquiz app. Please update both to the most recent version. Is it still not working? It is best to use another device from your team. Follow the steps below to continue on another device.
– Leave the game on the phone that you started with.
– Log on to the other phone with your personal login details.
– Close the window with the game info.
– Press start.
– Do not re-enter your team name and team members but press: ‘or resume with existing team’.
– Continue the city game with the other smartphone.
