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 legends and dark history does Istanbul have?
Few cities have as many layers as Istanbul. Near Hagia Sophia lies the Basilica Cistern, a Byzantine water reservoir where two columns rest on huge carved Medusa heads, one on its side and one upside down. Nobody knows for sure why they were placed that way, which only adds to the mystery.
Above ground, the Hippodrome of Constantinople was the scene of the Nika riots in 532, when tens of thousands of people were killed. Turkish folklore has its own beings of the night, such as the cin, spirits said to live in ruins and dark places. Across the Golden Horn, the Galata Tower has a legend of its own: in the 17th century Hezarfen Ahmed Çelebi is said to have flown from it over the Bosphorus to Üsküdar on home-made wings.

Which routes can you play in Istanbul?
Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Istanbul comes as two routes of 1.5 to 2 hours each. On the first you see Hagia Sophia, step down into the Basilica Cistern and walk past the Blue Mosque to the Hippodrome. The second starts at the Galata Tower and takes you on to Binbirdirek, the cistern of a thousand and one columns, and to the Süleymaniye.
Prefer the Asian shore? One Secrets of Istanbul route begins at the Üsküdar Ferry Terminal and follows the Üsküdar Bosphorus waterfront to the ancient site of Chrysopolis and the Mihrimah Sultan Mosque Complex. On autumn evenings the lights of the European side shimmer across the water. Another Secrets of Istanbul route has you hunting for old inscriptions and hidden details on historic facades.
Halloween in Istanbul: how it is celebrated and what is coming
Halloween is not a Turkish tradition, but in recent years costume parties have become popular in bars and clubs. If you want something calmer, a walk through the old streets after sunset gives you all the atmosphere you need: lit minarets, narrow lanes and ferries crossing in the dark.
Our ghost game Ghost Hunters is coming to Istanbul. Leave your e-mail address on this page and we will let you know when it starts. Until then, a halloween Istanbul evening on one of our routes suits friends, families with older children, colleagues and couples. Each game costs €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players, and the code HALLOWEEN50 gives 50% off all our games until 2 November.
