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.

Halloween and the days of the dead in Cancún
In Cancún, Halloween on 31 October blends into the Mexican days of the dead at the start of November. In the Yucatán peninsula the Maya tradition is called Hanal Pixán, the food of the souls: families build altars with candles, flowers and photos, and cook mucbipollo, a large tamale baked in the ground.
Cancún itself is young: the city was built as a planned resort from 1970, so do not expect old haunted mansions. What you do get is downtown on a warm autumn evening, with families out in the parks, the smell of street food and altars appearing in shops and homes. That is the setting for your detective case.

Where the murder mystery takes you
The Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Cancún is played in downtown Cancún. On the way you pass Mercado 23, a local market, and reach Parque de las Palapas, the busy square where families gather in the evening. From there you walk past the Parroquia de Cristo Rey and the Palacio Municipal de Cancún, and your case ends near Mercado 28.
The story is based on Sherlock Holmes. You read statements, crack riddles and do photo tasks, and in the end you point out the killer. It is a fun outing for friends, couples, families and colleagues, and a nice break from the beach.
