In City Conquest the centre of Nice 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 Marché du Cours Saleya, Galerie de la Marine, and Palais Héraud. When time is up, the team with the most points wins; with equal points, the team with the most ducats wins.

How to play

  1. 1

    Explore

    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 .

  2. 2

    Conquer

    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 .

  3. 3

    Defend 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 .

  4. 4

    Final 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.

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 pay
Often chosen by companies

With 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 pay

The 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.

How does City Conquest work?

You play City Conquest with at least 2 teams of 1 to 4 players, each team on its own phone. To begin, every team chooses a faction: a group with its own story, strengths and characters.

Then the map opens up. Zones are spread across the playing area, and each one has a task. Solve it and the zone is yours. Another team can take it back, though, so you are always choosing between expanding and defending. When the playing time ends, the points are counted and the team with the most points wins.

Which places in Nice become the board?

Nice's streets and the sights on our routes make up the board. From Place Rossetti you pass the Cathédrale Sainte-Réparate, the Église Sainte-Rita and the Maison d'Adam et Ève, all on the route of The Nice Syndicate (outdoor escape game).

Up the hill, the Bellanda Tower and the Cascade du Château, which appear in Secrets of Nice, add more ground to fight over. So this group game in Nice gives you a walk through the old town, with your team deciding at every turn which zone to go for next.

Who runs the game?

The organiser is the person who books. On the game master page, they pick the default language and the playing time, then start the game for all teams at once.

Each player can set their own language on their phone and switch it during play. That makes the group game Nice easy for international groups, colleagues on a company trip, friends on holiday or families who want to compete against each other.

Which games in Nice can you book today?

Three games in Nice can be booked today, each for €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players. They take 1.5 to 2 hours, and you start whenever you like.

Secrets of Nice begins on Place Rossetti and leads you past the cathedral with puzzles and photo tasks. Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Nice runs from the Palais de Justice to Place Masséna and the Promenade des Anglais. The Nice Syndicate (outdoor escape game) is an outdoor alternative to an escape room, with up to 5 players per team.

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 teams do you need for City Conquest?

At least 2 teams, each with 1 to 4 players. Every team plays on its own phone.

How do you conquer a zone?

Walk to the zone on the map and solve the task there. Other teams can win the zone back afterwards.

Who chooses the language and playing time?

The organiser sets both on the game master page, then starts the game for every team.

Where does Secrets of Nice start?

Secrets of Nice begins on Place Rossetti in the old town.

How many players can join The Nice Syndicate?

The Nice Syndicate (outdoor escape game) allows up to 5 players per team on one phone, for €19.95 per team.
