    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.

How we check reviews

These reviews were left by players on Google and other review sites and are copied from there as they are, with their source.

What should you look at on the market square?

The Alter Schwede is a building at Am Markt 22 in Wismar, making it a landmark to notice during your walk. Stop to look at the exterior before moving on to the next part of the story. Your companions may notice different features, so comparing observations can make the sightseeing more engaging for everyone. You can appreciate the building as part of the market setting without making a separate activity there part of your game plans. The self-guided format leaves you in control of those pauses, helping your group balance the shared phone activity with the places you actually see.

Which game brings a story to these city sights?

Secrets of Wismar passes the Alter Schwede during a quest with Klaus Störtebeker to reunite his crew. Along the route you see the building, the Wasserkunst with Nix and Nixe and the surviving Marienkirche tower. Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Wismar also passes the house, on a detective walk from the Marktplatz towards the Wassertor. Its route includes the market square, Alter Schwede and Wasserkunst before the Marienkirche tower. Choose the crew quest if that fictional premise appeals to your companions, or choose the detective case if you would rather investigate a mystery while exploring on foot together.

How do you organise the game on one phone?

Both Wismar games cost €19.95 per team and allow at most 4 players sharing one phone for 1.5 to 2 hours. Secrets of Wismar plays in the browser on your own phone with no app needed.
