Ernst-August-Denkmal Hanover: the meeting point by the station
City games in Hanover (2) ↓The Ernst-August-Denkmal Hanover stands on Ernst-August-Platz right in front of the main station, so for many visitors it is the first thing they see of the city. The equestrian statue shows King Ernst August of Hanover, and locals have arranged to meet under the horse for generations. It is also on the route of The Hanover Syndicate (outdoor escape game), where you and your team crack puzzles in the streets of the city centre.

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 you see at the statue
On a high pedestal, King Ernst August sits on his horse and looks out across the square towards the city centre. The square around it is almost always busy: travellers come out of the station, people wait for friends, and the shopping streets lead straight into town.
In Hanover people say they will meet "unterm Schwanz", under the tail, when they arrange to meet here. Stop for a moment and look at the figure and the pedestal more closely. It is not a museum with a ticket, it is part of daily life in the city, and that is what makes it a good place to start getting to know Hanover.

Which game passes the Ernst-August-Denkmal
The Hanover Syndicate (outdoor escape game) passes the Ernst-August-Denkmal. You track Magnus and the stolen formulas through the centre of Hanover. On the way you pass the Kröpcke, see the Altes Rathaus Hannover and the Marktkirche, and reach the Ballhofplatz and the Kreuzkirche.
It is an outdoor alternative to an escape room: instead of a locked room, you solve the puzzles out in the city. You play with 2 to 5 people on one phone. If you would rather explore the old town at a gentle pace, there is also Secrets of Hanover, an exploration game that starts at the Holzmarkt with puzzles and photo tasks.
How it works and what it costs
Both games are played with the free Loquiz app on your own phone. After booking you download the app, open the game and set off. The game shows you where to go next while you solve puzzles and photo tasks.
A game takes 1.5 to 2 hours and costs €19.95 per team. Secrets of Hanover is for at most 4 players on one phone, The Hanover Syndicate for 2 to 5 players. You start whenever you want, every day, and your game is valid for 12 months. There is no fixed time and no guide.
Who it suits
The games suit friends, couples and families who want to see Hanover in a different way than a normal walk. Colleagues enjoy it too: larger groups book several teams, start together and see who finishes first.
If you arrive by train, the Ernst-August-Denkmal is an easy place to meet your group. From there you are in the heart of the city centre, and in the game, within minutes. It also works well for a stag or hen party or a birthday with friends, because you set the time and the pace yourselves.
