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.

What makes Duisburg's old centre feel spooky at Halloween?
Duisburg is one of the old cities on the Rhine, and pieces of its medieval past are still there if you look. Stretches of the historic city wall survive close to the centre, and on the Burgplatz stood a royal palace in the Middle Ages, next to the Church of Our Saviour, the Salvatorkirche. The famous cartographer Gerardus Mercator lived and worked here, and the Mercatorbrunnen recalls him.
The city suffered heavy bombing in the Second World War, and much of what you see was rebuilt. We do not know of a famous local ghost story, so we will not invent one. What Duisburg has is atmosphere: old stones, a quiet harbour basin and long autumn shadows.
Had great fun playing secrets of Haarlem!
Which games can you play in Duisburg?
There are three games, each taking 1.5 to 2 hours.
Secrets of Duisburg starts on the Alter Markt and leads you through the old centre, past the Historische Stadtmauer, the Rathaus Duisburg and the Mercatorbrunnen. The Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Duisburg is a detective case based on Sherlock Holmes, running from the Rathaus down to the Innenhafen Duisburg and the Kultur- und Stadthistorisches Museum. In The Duisburg Syndicate (outdoor escape game), an outdoor alternative to an escape room for 2 to 5 players, you chase Magnus and the stolen formulas from the Alter Markt past the Froschkönigbrunnen to the Burgplatz.
You play every game with the free Loquiz app.
Is Ghost Hunters coming to Duisburg?
Yes, our ghost game Ghost Hunters is coming to Duisburg. It has not started yet, but you can leave your e-mail address on this page and we will let you know when it does.
In the meantime, a halloween Duisburg evening works well with one of the current games. Start late in the afternoon and finish after dark at the Innenhafen, where the old warehouses reflect in the water. Bring a warm jacket and a charged phone.
