Group games: teams against each otherCity Conquest
Race Through Zakynthos
Expected soon in Zakynthos
A city game where teams play against each other: at least 2 teams of 1–4 players, each team on its own phone.
- 2–20 teams
In City Conquest the centre of Zakynthos becomes a game board for your whole group: at least two teams race to conquer zones, and other teams can win them back. When time is up, the team with the most points wins; with equal points, the team with the most ducats wins.
How to play
1Explore
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 
.
2Conquer
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 
.
3Defend 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 
.
4Final 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.
Speed potionWait times and zone locks halved for 10 minutes.
Wisdom potionRemoves one wrong answer from your next multiple-choice question.
Strength potionYour next conquest scores double.
ShieldBlocks the next attack on your team (20 seconds to react).
MirrorSends the next attack straight back to the team that left it.
AntidoteEnds fog, a trap or a curse at once.
ScoutShows other teams' drops within 100 m for 2 minutes; walk to one to defuse it.- BombLeave it on the street: the team that walks into it loses 25 points.
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 companiesWith 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 you play City Conquest?
Before the game starts, each team chooses a faction: a group with its own story, strengths and characters. Then the teams head into town.
The map of Zakynthos shows zones. Walk to one, solve the task there and the zone is yours. Other teams can win it back, so you will have to choose between holding on and moving on. Every choice can change the score. When the playing time is up, the team with the most points wins.
What do you see on the game board?
The game board is made of the streets and sights on our Zakynthos routes. Between zones you may cross Solomos Square, pass the Byzantine Museum of Zakynthos or reach the Saint Dionysios Zakynthos Holy Orthodox Church with a rival team on your heels.
Each team decides its own path through town. Some teams stay together, others split up to cover more ground. Because every team plans differently, every game plays out in its own way.
Who organises the group game?
The organiser, the person who made the main booking, sets up the game on the game master page. You pick the default language and the playing time and then start the game for all teams at once. The game only starts that way.
Every player can pick and switch the language on their own phone. That is useful for a holiday group or a family that speaks more than one language. Everyone follows the same group game in Zakynthos in the language they like.
Which game can you book in Zakynthos today?

It takes 1.5–2 hours and costs €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players. You play with the free Loquiz app and start whenever you like. Friends, families and colleagues each play as one team on one phone.
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.
