    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.

How we check reviews

These reviews were left by players on Google and other review sites and are copied from there as they are, with their source.

What role does the museum play during the game?

The museum is a named route stop in the detective walk, bringing a cultural landmark into your group’s investigation. It offers a place to notice between game decisions, so the real city stays present alongside the fictional case. Take a moment for the setting before opening the next instruction.

No exhibition visit or museum admission is specified for the activity. If you want to go inside separately, plan that alongside the walking game rather than assuming it is included. This helps companions with different interests enjoy the same day: some may want to concentrate on the case, while others also have a separate museum visit in mind.

Which places does the investigation connect?

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Dortmund includes the museum, Opernhaus Dortmund, Florianturm and St. Reinold’s Church among its route stops. Your group works on a detective case while exploring on foot. The different settings give the walk something to look at beyond the phone screen, while the investigation supplies the shared activity.

Up to four players use one phone with the free Loquiz app. Let each person suggest an explanation before deciding on an answer. The screen holder can read the instruction without taking every decision alone. Changing who reads or explains can help everyone contribute to the mystery as your walk continues through the city.

What are the practical arrangements for your team?

Allow 1.5 to 2 hours for the detective game and prepare the free Loquiz app on your shared phone. The price is €19.95 per team, with a maximum of four players. You can start whenever you like each day, and the purchase stays valid for twelve months.

Choose a suitable date with your companions and agree whether the game will be the main activity or one part of a longer outing. Any extra time at individual places belongs alongside the game duration. With that plan clear, you can enjoy the case as a common challenge while leaving room to notice the museum and the other route settings together.

Does the detective route include the museum?

Yes, it is one of the listed stops.

Is an exhibition ticket included?

No museum admission or exhibition visit is specified.

Can two people play the case?

Yes, a pair can form a team within the four-player limit.

Is a scheduled departure required?

No, you can choose a flexible daily start within twelve months of purchase.
