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.

Which dark chapters belong to London?
Few cities have as much grim history as London. The Great Plague of 1665 killed a huge part of the population, and a year later the Great Fire of 1666 burned much of the old City. In 1888 the Whitechapel murders of Jack the Ripper made London's foggy streets famous all over the world.
You can also find echoes of death on the routes of our games. The Eleanor Cross at Charing Cross recalls the crosses Edward I set up along the funeral journey of his queen, Eleanor, in 1290. And at Madame Tussauds, Marie Tussaud's story started with wax death masks she made during the French Revolution.

Halloween London: which games can you play?
There are two games, each for €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players. Both take 1.5 to 2 hours.
Secrets of London runs in the browser on your own phone, no app needed. You help Horatio Nelson find his lost spyglass, passing the Eleanor Cross, the York Watergate, the Royal Guards and a view over the Thames and the London Eye. The Watergate once opened onto the river and now stands in a garden, stranded by the Embankment.
Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in London is played in the free Loquiz app. Its story is based on Sherlock Holmes, and the case takes you past Kensington Palace, The Sherlock Holmes Museum and The British Museum, where Egyptian mummies wait in the galleries.
How does London celebrate Halloween?
Halloween has become a big night in London. Children go trick or treating in many neighbourhoods, shops fill up with pumpkins and costumes, and plenty of grown-ups dress up for the evening. Only a few days later comes Bonfire Night on 5 November, with fireworks that remember the failed Gunpowder Plot of Guy Fawkes in 1605.
That makes late October a great time for a walk in the dark. The streets around Trafalgar Square and the river are lit up, the evenings are cool, and a detective story or a hunt for clues fits the season well.
Is a city game a good idea for Halloween London plans?
Yes, it is an easy outing for friends, families, couples or colleagues. You walk through central London after dark and solve riddles on your own phone.
Is there a ghost game for Halloween London?
Our ghost game Ghost Hunters is coming to London but is not available yet. Leave your e-mail address on this page and we will tell you when it starts.
How much does it cost?
Each game costs €19.95 per team, for one phone and at most 4 players. With the code HALLOWEEN50 you get 50% off all our games until 2 November.
Do I need an app?
Secrets of London runs in the browser, no app needed. Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in London is played in the free Loquiz app.
Can we start whenever we want?
Yes, you start every day at any time that suits you. A game takes 1.5 to 2 hours and your ticket stays valid for 12 months.
