    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 is Halloween celebrated in Glasgow?

Halloween in Glasgow still has a Scottish flavour: guising, costumes and dookin for apples in a basin of water are old traditions here, and many families keep them alive.

The city itself sets the mood. Glasgow grew rich on trade, and the Merchant City still has the grand stone buildings of the merchants who ran it. On the east side, the Victorian Necropolis rises on a hill next to the cathedral, a city of tombs that looks especially grim on a grey autumn day. When the evenings draw in early at the end of October, the wet streets, old facades and lit windows give the centre the right atmosphere for a spooky outing.

Had great fun playing secrets of Haarlem!

Which City Game can you play in Glasgow at Halloween?

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Glasgow is the darkest choice: a self-guided detective story based on Sherlock Holmes. You walk from George Square past Glasgow City Chambers into the Merchant City, through Merchant Square and along the Trongate to the Mercat Cross, collecting clues for a murder case.

The Glasgow Syndicate (outdoor escape game) is an outdoor alternative to an escape room for 2 to 5 players. You hunt for Magnus and the stolen formulas from George Square past St George's Tron Church of Scotland to Royal Exchange Square and the Argyll Arcade.

Secrets of Glasgow starts at Mitchell Street and mixes puzzles and photo tasks in the centre. All three games are played in the free Loquiz app and take 1.5 to 2 hours.
