How to play

  1. 1

    Explore

    Walk through the real city. The map shows every zone: free, taken by a team in its colour, or locked for a few minutes. The game starts at .

  2. 2

    Conquer

    Step into a zone and open its task: a puzzle, a riddle, something to count or a code to crack on the spot, now and then a photo. Get it right and the zone takes your colour , and you earn 30 ducats .

  3. 3

    Defend and take back

    Other teams can take your zones once the lock is over, and you can take theirs. A zone stays with the team that conquers it. The first team at a bonus spot gets a power-up in its backpack .

  4. 4

    Final count

    When the time is up, the team with the most points wins; with equal points, the most ducats . Be at the meeting point in time: the herald calls everyone together.

Every zone has ten tasks about what you can really find there. Each team gets a different one, and a new one every time it comes back, so answers can't be passed on.

20 factions

Every zone has a field that fits the place: knowledge at a library, creativity at a museum, charm on a market square, speed on a bridge or quay, power at a fortress or tower. The stronger your faction is in a zone's field, the more points that zone is worth to you, so every faction has its own zones to go for.

Ducats, chests and drops

Chests

Every 20 minutes the herald hides chests in the streets. The first team within 30 m opens one: ducats , a potion, a defence or something to leave for others.

The merchant

You start with 50 ducats and earn more by conquering, holding zones and approved photos. Spend them at the merchant : you can buy anywhere, and at his spot you get 20% off.

Drops and fog

Leave a bomb, trap, fog, curse or sabotage on the street . Only your team sees it; the team that walks into it is hit. Fog hides their map beyond 100 m. A scout shows drops near you : walk to one to defuse it.

Two ways to play

Without a game master

You play on your own. The organiser opens the game master page, chooses the default language and the playing time, and starts the game. From then on everything runs by itself on every phone: the zones, the chests, the merchant and the final count.

Often chosen by companies

With a game master

Someone leads the game from the game master page: follows every team live with its points and zones, sends messages to all teams, adds 15 minutes or stops the game, gives a team a power-up or puts a chest right next to it, and looks at the photos. The game master never sees the answers.

€199.00 including 5 teams, €19.95 per extra team

Book and pay

The organiser sets up the game on the game master page (the default language and the playing time) and starts it for all teams.

Every player can pick and switch the language on their own phone.

What the game master sees

Live, on a laptop or tablet: where every team is, who holds which zone, and each team's points, ducats and items. From here the game master gives or takes points, sends a message to one team or to all teams, adds 15 minutes or pauses the game.

How do you play City Conquest?

In City Conquest, teams compete for zones across central Munich by solving the task in each zone. Before the start, every team chooses a faction, a group with its own story, strengths and characters.

After that, your team decides its own route. Reach a zone, solve the task and claim it. A rival team can do exactly the same and take it back from you, so the map keeps shifting. Some teams guard their zones, others keep moving to grab new ones. When the time is up, the points decide the winner.

Where in Munich does the contest take place?

The streets and sights on our Munich routes are the board for this group game. Teams move between places such as Max-Joseph-Platz with the Bayerische Staatsoper, the Frauenkirche and the Feldherrnhalle.

Playing a group game in Munich like this means you get to know the centre while you compete. You might spot another team crossing a square, guess where they are heading and race to get there first. One player reads the map, another solves the task, a third keeps watch. Everybody has a part to play.

Who runs the game and chooses the language?

The organiser, the main booker, sets up City Conquest on the game master page and starts it for every team. On that page you choose the default language and the playing time.

Each player can still pick and switch the language on their own phone, so international colleagues, visiting friends and families can each follow along in the language they like.

Which Munich game can you play today?

Do we need a game master?

No. Without a game master you play completely on your own: the person who booked opens the organiser page once, picks the default language and play time and starts the game for all teams; after that everything runs by itself on every phone. A game master (€199.00 incl. 5 teams) is optional, for someone who wants to follow and steer the game live.

Can teams start the game themselves?

You do not need a game master for that: the person who booked starts the game once for all teams on the organiser page, so every team plays the same time. After that everything runs by itself on every phone. A game master is optional, for someone who wants to follow and steer the game live.

Who wins City Conquest?

When time is up, the team with the most points wins; with equal points, the team with the most ducats wins.

Does each team need its own phone?

Yes. Every team of 1 to 4 players plays City Conquest on its own phone.

Can a zone be won back?

Yes. Another team can solve the task in your zone and win it back, so zones can change hands during the game.

Who sets the playing time?

The organiser chooses the playing time and the default language on the game master page, then starts the game for all teams.

Where does the Sherlock game in Munich start?
