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 makes the old bridge a useful sightseeing stop?
The Alte Brücke crosses the Neckar in Heidelberg and gives your old-town walk a change of perspective. Pause to look along the river before turning your attention back towards the buildings and streets. The bridge makes a clear contrast with the squares you encounter elsewhere on a game route. If your group wants both sightseeing and something to solve, it is a natural landmark to remember between the different stages of your walk through the city.

Which mysteries take you past the bridge?
Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Heidelberg and The Heidelberg Syndicate (outdoor escape game) both pass the Alte Brücke. The detective walk takes you from the Heiliggeistkirche over the bridge towards the castle. Along the route you see the bridge, then Marktplatz, Heiliggeistkirche and Jesuitenkirche. Choose this story if a murder investigation appeals to your group. The Syndicate sends you after Magnus and stolen formulas from Universitätsplatz through the old town towards Karlsplatz, with Heiliggeistkirche and the Rathaus among the sights you encounter.
Would a discovery walk suit your group better?
Secrets of Heidelberg combines puzzles, photo tasks and stories about the old town, Marktplatz and the Alte Brücke. You see Kornmarkt Madonna before Karlsplatz, then the funicular station and Heiliggeistkirche by Marktplatz. This option suits friends who want a mix of looking around and completing different tasks. You can choose the theme before arranging the rest of your day: local discovery for an exploratory outing, detective work for a shared case, or the formula chase for an outdoor escape game.
How do you organise the game around your visit?
Each Heidelberg game takes 1.5 to 2 hours and costs €19.95 per team. Secrets and Sherlock Holmes allow at most 4 players on one phone; The Syndicate allows at most 5.
