    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 does Oldenburg have?

Oldenburg's best-known legend is the tale of the Oldenburg Horn. Count Otto, the story goes, was out hunting in the woods when a mysterious maiden offered him a drink from a richly decorated horn. He did not trust it and poured the drink away. Where it splashed his horse, the hair was burned off. The count rode home with the horn, and it became a treasure of the counts of Oldenburg.

The town also knows real disaster. In 1676 a great fire swept through Oldenburg and destroyed a large part of the old town. The Lappan, the old bell tower in the centre, is one of the few buildings that survived it.

On a misty October evening, when the street lights reflect on the cobbles and the old town grows quiet, these stories feel much closer.

Which game can you play for halloween Oldenburg?

Our game in Oldenburg is Secrets of Oldenburg, a self-guided scavenger hunt through the city centre. You walk at your own pace, solve riddles, look for small details on facades and corners and discover the city's stories along the way. A game takes 1.5 to 2 hours and runs in the browser on your own phone, so there is nothing to install.

In the dark, an ordinary shopping street turns into a place full of shadows, and every clue feels a little more mysterious. That makes it a good fit for friends, couples, families with older children and colleagues who want something different on 31 October.

Our ghost game Ghost Hunters is not in Oldenburg yet, but it is coming. Leave your e-mail address on this page and we will let you know when it starts.

How is Halloween celebrated in Oldenburg, and what does it cost?

Halloween is not an old German tradition, but it has become popular in recent decades: children go from door to door in costume, and adults meet for parties. In Lower Saxony, 31 October is also a public holiday, Reformation Day, so many people have the evening and the day free.

A city game is a calm, outdoor alternative to a party. You play as a team on one phone: €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players. With a bigger group you simply split into several teams and play at the same time, perhaps as a race. With the code HALLOWEEN50 you get 50% off all our games until 2 November.
