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.

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.

  • TrapLeave it on the street: 3 minutes no conquering and no answering.
  • FogLeave it on the street: for 4 minutes their map shows only 100 m around them.
  • CurseLeave it on the street: on their next 2 questions a wrong answer costs double.
  • SabotageLeave it on the street: steals one thing from their backpack (or 30 ducats).

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

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 teams play against each other?

City Conquest is played by at least two teams of 1 to 4 players in Regensburg, and every team uses its own phone.

The first choice is your faction. Each faction is a group with its own story, its own strengths and its own characters, so teams start the game with a different feel. After that you move across the map. At each zone there is a task; solve it and you conquer the zone. Rival teams can win it back, which means you are never quite done. The team with the most points at the end of the playing time wins.

What do you see while playing in Regensburg?

Regensburg's streets and the sights on our routes are the game board. As you move between zones you may pass the Porta Praetoria, see Schloss St. Emmeram, walk by the Historisches Museum Regensburg and cross Neupfarrplatz.

The route is yours to choose, and that is part of the challenge. Do you split up your attention between several zones or focus on keeping the ones you have? This kind of city team game suits friends, families, colleagues and clubs who enjoy a bit of rivalry.

How does the organiser set up the game?

The organiser, meaning the main booker, sets up City Conquest on the game master page and starts it for all teams. There, the organiser decides the default language and the playing time.

Once the game is running, each player can pick their own language on their phone and switch it whenever they like, which helps when your group speaks different languages.

Which Regensburg game is bookable today?

Besides City Conquest, Regensburg has the Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Regensburg, which you can book today. You work a detective murder case on foot through the old town, from Neupfarrplatz to the cathedral and the Porta Praetoria.

It takes 1.5 to 2 hours and is played in the free Loquiz app. The price is €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players. You can start any day, whenever you like, and the game stays valid for 12 months.

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.

Do we need several phones for City Conquest?

Yes, one per team. Each of the at least two teams plays on its own phone, with 1 to 4 players per team.

Can I switch the language during the game?

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

How long does the Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Regensburg take?

It takes 1.5 to 2 hours. You can start every day, whenever you want.
