    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.

How does Dubai celebrate Halloween?

Halloween is not a local tradition in the Emirates. In Dubai it is mostly celebrated by the many people from abroad who live here, with costume parties, decorated shops and children dressed up in their neighbourhoods.

The region does have its own old tales. Emirati folklore speaks of spirits and jinn, and of Bu Darya, a figure from the sea that pearl divers once feared. These stories belong to the old Dubai of the creek and the pearling boats, a world that feels far away when you stand among the towers of downtown. On a dark evening, though, with the fountains quiet and the streets lit up, a detective case of your own fits right in.

What do you see in the Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Dubai?

The Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Dubai has a story based on Sherlock Holmes. You follow a murder case on foot through downtown Dubai, at the pace you like, using the free Loquiz app.

The route starts at the Dubai Mall, takes you past the Burj Khalifa and on to Souk Al Bahar, and also brings you to the Dubai Opera. Along the way you look for clues, question suspects in the app and put the pieces together as a team. After sunset, with the tower lit up and the warm air finally bearable, the walk is pleasant and the case feels like a real night-time investigation. Plan on about 1.5 to 2 hours.
