In City Conquest the centre of Bari becomes a game board for your whole group: at least two teams race to conquer zones, and other teams can win them back. On the way you pass places like Basilica di San Nicola, vista retro basilica, and Chiesa di San Marco dei veneziani. When time is up, the team with the most points wins; with equal points, the team with the most ducats wins.

How to play

  1. 1

    Explore

    Walk through the real city. The map shows every zone: free, taken by a team in its colour, or locked for a few minutes. The game starts at .

  2. 2

    Conquer

    Step into a zone and open its task: a puzzle, a riddle, something to count or a code to crack on the spot, now and then a photo. Get it right and the zone takes your colour , and you earn 30 ducats .

  3. 3

    Defend and take back

    Other teams can take your zones once the lock is over, and you can take theirs. A zone stays with the team that conquers it. The first team at a bonus spot gets a power-up in its backpack .

  4. 4

    Final count

    When the time is up, the team with the most points wins; with equal points, the most ducats . Be at the meeting point in time: the herald calls everyone together.

Every zone has ten tasks about what you can really find there. Each team gets a different one, and a new one every time it comes back, so answers can't be passed on.

20 factions

Every zone has a field that fits the place: knowledge at a library, creativity at a museum, charm on a market square, speed on a bridge or quay, power at a fortress or tower. The stronger your faction is in a zone's field, the more points that zone is worth to you, so every faction has its own zones to go for.

Ducats, chests and drops

Chests

Every 20 minutes the herald hides chests in the streets. The first team within 30 m opens one: ducats , a potion, a defence or something to leave for others.

The merchant

You start with 50 ducats and earn more by conquering, holding zones and approved photos. Spend them at the merchant : you can buy anywhere, and at his spot you get 20% off.

Drops and fog

Leave a bomb, trap, fog, curse or sabotage on the street . Only your team sees it; the team that walks into it is hit. Fog hides their map beyond 100 m. A scout shows drops near you : walk to one to defuse it.

Two ways to play

Without a game master

You play on your own. The organiser opens the game master page, chooses the default language and the playing time, and starts the game. From then on everything runs by itself on every phone: the zones, the chests, the merchant and the final count.

Often chosen by companies

With a game master

Someone leads the game from the game master page: follows every team live with its points and zones, sends messages to all teams, adds 15 minutes or stops the game, gives a team a power-up or puts a chest right next to it, and looks at the photos. The game master never sees the answers.

€199.00 including 5 teams, €19.95 per extra team

Book and pay

The organiser sets up the game on the game master page (the default language and the playing time) and starts it for all teams.

Every player can pick and switch the language on their own phone.

What the game master sees

Live, on a laptop or tablet: where every team is, who holds which zone, and each team's points, ducats and items. From here the game master gives or takes points, sends a message to one team or to all teams, adds 15 minutes or pauses the game.

What happens in City Conquest?

First, every team chooses a faction: a group with its own story, strengths and characters. Then the teams spread out.

The map of Bari shows zones in and around the old town. Walk to a zone, solve its task and it belongs to your team. Rival teams can win it back, so you keep switching between attack and defence. Agree on a plan, then change it when another team makes a move. When the playing time is over, the team with the most points wins.

Which sights in Bari are part of the board?

The game board is made of the streets and sights on our Bari routes. Between zones you might pass the Museo Nicolaiano, cross Piazza Mercantile, gather on Piazza del Ferrarese or reach the Cattedrale Metropolitana Primaziale San Sabino ahead of another team.

Every team picks its own route through the lanes. You can split up or stay together, and since every team plans differently, no two games end the same way. Keep an eye on the map to see which zones are still open.

How does the organiser set up the game?

The organiser, who makes the main booking, sets up the game on the game master page. You choose the default language and the playing time, then start the game for all teams at the same time.

On their own phone, every player can pick and switch the language. That helps holiday groups, international colleagues or families with different languages to play one group game in Bari together.

Do we need a game master?

No. Without a game master you play completely on your own: the person who booked opens the organiser page once, picks the default language and play time and starts the game for all teams; after that everything runs by itself on every phone. A game master (€199.00 incl. 5 teams) is optional, for someone who wants to follow and steer the game live.

Can teams start the game themselves?

You do not need a game master for that: the person who booked starts the game once for all teams on the organiser page, so every team plays the same time. After that everything runs by itself on every phone. A game master is optional, for someone who wants to follow and steer the game live.

Who wins City Conquest?

When time is up, the team with the most points wins; with equal points, the team with the most ducats wins.

How many players does a team have?

Each City Conquest team has 1 to 4 players and plays on its own phone. You need at least 2 teams.

What is a faction?

A faction is the group your team plays as, with its own story, strengths and characters.

Can we lose a zone again?

Yes. Other teams can win back a zone you conquered, so the score can change until the end.
