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.

Which legends and dark history belong to Dortmund?
The city's patron saint is Reinoldus, and St. Reinoldi in the heart of the old town is named after him. According to legend, Reinold was killed by stonemasons in Cologne, and the cart carrying his remains rolled to Dortmund by itself. It is an old tale, and one worth telling in the shadow of the church.
Dortmund also has darker, very real history. Near the main station stands the Steinwache, a former police prison used by the Gestapo, today a memorial. And during the Second World War, bombing raids destroyed most of the old centre, so many churches you pass were rebuilt afterwards.
On 1 November, All Saints' Day, there is a public holiday in North Rhine-Westphalia.
Had great fun playing secrets of Haarlem!
Which City Games can you play in Dortmund?
Three games run through the centre, and each takes 1.5 to 2 hours.
Secrets of Dortmund begins on the Markt and leads you to St. Reinoldi, past the Dortmund Bierkutscher and on towards the Dortmund U-Tower. The Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Dortmund is a detective case based on Sherlock Holmes, starting at Platz von Leeds and passing the Museum Ostwall and the Opernhaus Dortmund. The Dortmund Syndicate (outdoor escape game) is an outdoor alternative to an escape room: 2 to 5 players hunt Magnus and the stolen formulas from the Alter Markt past the Marienkirche and along the Ostenhellweg.
