    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.

Which detective route includes the fortress?

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Heraklion includes Rocca a Mare Fortress, Cathedral of Agios Minas, Venetian Walls of Heraklion and Holy Cathedral Temple of Saint Titus in that walking order. These real locations provide surroundings for the fictional case your group investigates on foot. Notice the fortress during the route and arrange any interior visit independently of the game. Your companions can compare possible meanings of a clue before choosing an answer together. Share the prompt so every player can contribute an observation or question, keeping the reasoning collaborative. Looking around remains part of the experience, rather than giving all your attention to the next instruction on the phone throughout the walk.

What happens in the lost-trident discovery quest?

Secrets of Heraklion follows a fictional search to help Poseidon recover a lost trident. Its route includes Koules Fortress, Heraklion Old Town, City Park Circle and the Kalinihta sign in that sequence. Choose this myth-inspired adventure if its premise interests your companions more than a detective investigation. Keep the game’s events separate from the history of the real places encountered during the route. Agree on which story everyone wants to share before selecting a game, then follow one adventure together. Each person can compare observations and suggest possible answers, with the phone connecting the activity while your companions bring ideas to the next decision as you explore the city on foot.

What does one team need to arrange?

Both adventures cost €19.95 per team, take about 1.5 to 2 hours and allow up to four players sharing one phone. Secrets runs in your own phone browser without an app; Sherlock Holmes uses the free Loquiz app. You can start daily at a flexible time, and the purchase stays valid for 12 months. Choose a suitable moment when your group has room for the route and the tasks without rushing into another plan. During play, read or show prompts to your companions so everyone follows the current challenge. Comparing different interpretations can make the next response a shared discussion, keeping all players involved throughout the selected adventure through the city.
