    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.

Lyon's dark past: sieges, revolts and secret passages

Lyon has seen hard times. In 1793 the city rose against the revolutionary government in Paris, was besieged for two months and then punished harshly: many hundreds of people were executed, some of them shot in groups on the plain of Les Brotteaux.

La Croix Rousse, the hill of the silk weavers, is known for the revolts of the canuts in 1831 and 1834, when the weavers fought for fair pay. In Vieux Lyon and on the Croix Rousse the traboules, covered passages through houses and courtyards, let people cross the city out of sight. During the Second World War the Resistance used them too. On a dark evening they feel like the perfect setting for a crime story.

Had great fun playing secrets of Haarlem!

Halloween and Toussaint in Lyon

Halloween is a fairly new custom in France, mostly costume parties and sweets for children. The older tradition is Toussaint on 1 November, when many families visit the graves of their relatives with chrysanthemums.

At the end of October the days in Lyon get short, mist can hang over the Saône and the old town lights up early. That is the right mood for a detective walk: a small team, one phone and a murder to solve before the night is over. Use the code HALLOWEEN50 for 50% off all our games, valid until 2 November. Afterwards you are in the right city for a good dinner.
