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 dark history does Utrecht have?
Utrecht has been a church city for more than a thousand years, and its most striking scar is the empty square between the Dom tower and the rest of the cathedral. In 1674 a violent storm brought down the nave, and it was never rebuilt. Walk through the Pandhof van de Dom, the old cloister garden, on an autumn evening and the silence of the place does the rest.
The city is also named after its patron saint, Martin, and his lantern procession in November is older than Halloween here. Paushuize was built for Adrian VI, the only Dutch pope, who never got to live in it. Old churches, quiet courtyards and narrow streets make the centre a fitting backdrop for a dark autumn walk.

Which games can you play for halloween in Utrecht?
Three games run in Utrecht, each taking 1.5 to 2 hours, all played with the free Loquiz app.
Secrets of Utrecht takes you past the Nicolaïkerk, the St. Catharinakathedraal and Paushuize to the Pandhof van de Dom, solving puzzles, riddles and photo tasks beneath the Dom tower.
Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Utrecht is a detective case on foot. You pass the Centraal Museum, the Dom Tower and Museum Speelklok while you work out who did it. The story is based on Sherlock Holmes.
The Utrecht Syndicate (outdoor escape game) is an outdoor alternative to an escape room for 2 to 5 players. You chase Magnus and the stolen formulas from the Stadhuisplein past the Janskerk and the Janskerkhof towards the Drift.
How does a Halloween city game work?
You buy a ticket, open the game on your phone and start where and when you like, every day. One phone per team, at most 4 players, for €19.95 per team. Tickets stay valid for 12 months, so a dark evening at the end of October is easy to plan.
Halloween has become more popular in the Netherlands over recent years, with pumpkins and costumes showing up in more streets. A game after dinner, when the churches are lit and the canals are dark, gives a group of friends, a family or a team of colleagues a different kind of Halloween outing.
