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 the fountain appear in the detective game?
Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Bologna includes Palazzo Malvezzi de’ Medici, Statua di Camillo Cavour, Fontana del Nettuno and Monumento a Marco Minghetti in that walking order. These locations provide real surroundings for a fictional case your group follows on foot. Notice the fountain as part of the outing and keep the game’s events separate from the history of the places you encounter. Your companions can compare what each clue might mean before choosing an answer together. Share the prompt so everyone can offer an interpretation, keeping the reasoning collaborative while leaving attention for the city rather than concentrating only on the next step shown on the shared phone.

What quest brings Secrets to the fountain?
Secrets of Bologna follows a fictional search to help Nero Claudius Caesar recover a lost lyre. Its route includes Statue of Pope Gregory XIII, Wishing Well, Neptune’s Fountain and Bologna’s Cathedral in that sequence. The fountain appears under its English name on this discovery route. Choose the quest if its premise interests your companions more than a detective investigation. Agree on which story everyone wants before selecting a game, then focus on one adventure together. Each player can contribute observations and possible answers as you explore, with the phone providing prompts while your companions supply ideas for the next decision. Keep any separate interior visits outside the walking game and give them their own time.
How do the time, price and phone options compare?
Both listed adventures cost €19.95 per team, take about 1.5 to 2 hours and allow up to four players sharing one phone. Secrets runs in your own phone browser without an app, while Sherlock Holmes uses the free Loquiz app. Flexible daily starting times and 12 months of validity let you choose a suitable occasion. Leave enough room in your plans to enjoy the route and the shared tasks without rushing. During play, read prompts aloud or show the screen so all your companions follow the current challenge. Different interpretations can turn the next response into a group discussion, keeping every player involved as the chosen adventure continues through the city on foot.
