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.

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.

What is City Conquest?

City Conquest is our group game where teams play against each other. Every team starts by choosing a faction: a group with its own story, strengths and characters.

Zones are marked on the map of Thessaloniki. Reach a zone, solve its task and claim it for your team. Rival teams can take it back again, so you are always weighing up attack against defence. Talk it over and pick your next target. When the playing time ends, the team with the most points wins.

Where in Thessaloniki do the teams play?

The board is made of the streets and sights on our Thessaloniki routes. While you play you may pass the Church of St. Demetrios, head towards the White Tower, Λευκός Πύργος της Θεσσαλονίκης, or reach Agia Sofia just before another team.

Every team picks its own route. You can split up, take another street or come back later to win a zone at the right moment, so no two games follow the same path through the city.

How do you organise the group game?

The organiser, who is the main booker, sets up the game on the game master page. You choose the default language and the playing time there and then start the game for all teams together. It does not start any other way.

Each player can pick and switch the language on their own phone. That helps international colleagues, visiting friends or families with different languages to follow the same group game in Thessaloniki without missing anything.

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.

How many people can play City Conquest?

You play with at least 2 teams. Each team has 1 to 4 players and its own phone.

What is a faction?

Can a zone be won back?

Yes. Other teams can win back a zone you conquered, so the lead can change until the end.
