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.

Why make the church part of a city game?
Heiliggeistkirche is a church by Marktplatz in Heidelberg and is included in all three games described here. Looking at the building together with the square gives your group a recognisable city view. Pause to take in that setting before following your activity onwards. A game can connect this sightseeing moment with a wider outing everyone shares. You might prefer discovery tasks, a detective case or a formula pursuit through the streets. Choose the theme with your companions before setting off, then let the church become one place to recognise between the different stages of your shared walk through the old town.

How do the church-passing routes differ?
Secrets of Heidelberg passes the church during a walk with puzzles, photo tasks and city stories. You see Kornmarkt Madonna before Karlsplatz, then the funicular station and Heiliggeistkirche by Marktplatz. Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Heidelberg begins its case at the church. Its route includes Alte Brücke before Marktplatz, then Heiliggeistkirche and Jesuitenkirche. The Heidelberg Syndicate (outdoor escape game) also passes the church, following Magnus and stolen formulas from Universitätsplatz through the old town towards Karlsplatz. You encounter Heiliggeistkirche before Karlsplatz and the Rathaus. Compare the exploration, investigation and pursuit with your group before choosing the activity you would enjoy sharing through the city.
What should your team know before starting?
The Heidelberg games take 1.5 to 2 hours and cost €19.95 per team, using the free Loquiz app on your own phone. Secrets and Sherlock Holmes allow at most 4 players on one phone; The Syndicate allows at most 5. Check those limits and the story theme with the people joining you before choosing what to play.
