Neustädter Markt in Hanover on an outdoor escape game
City games in Hanover (2) ↓Neustädter Markt Hanover is a calm square just west of the old town, framed by the tall Neustädter Kirche. It is the kind of place you would walk past without noticing, which is exactly why a game that leads you there is fun. On The Hanover Syndicate, an outdoor escape game in the streets, you crack clues on your own phone and track a thief through the city in 1.5 to 2 hours.

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 Neustädter Markt
Neustädter Markt is the old market square of Hanover's Neustadt, the district that grew up just outside the medieval centre. Its landmark is the Neustädter Hof- und Stadtkirche St. Johannis, a church best known as the burial place of the philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.
The square itself is quieter than the busy streets around the Marktkirche, which makes it a pleasant place to pause, look up at the church tower and catch your breath. If you want to visit the church inside, check its opening times on site, as they can change through the year.

The Hanover Syndicate: the game that passes the square
The Hanover Syndicate (outdoor escape game) is the game that takes you past Neustädter Markt. You track Magnus and the stolen formulas from Karmarschstraße past the Marktkirche, solving puzzles and cracking codes along the way. Think of it as an outdoor alternative to an escape room: the city is your playing field, and nothing is locked.
On the route you also pass the Altes Rathaus, the Ballhofplatz and the Kröpcke, before the trail leads you towards the Kreuzkirche and the quieter streets around it. You play with the free Loquiz app on your own phone, at your own pace.
Price, team size and how to start
The Hanover Syndicate costs €19.95 per team, with 2 to 5 players on one phone. Bigger group? Split into several teams and race each other to the finish.
There is no fixed start time: begin whenever you like, any day, and your game stays valid for 12 months. It works for friends, couples, families with older children and colleagues looking for a team outing. Prefer a gentler game?
