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 detective walk leads from the square?
Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Bologna follows a fictional case from Piazza Maggiore under the arcades to the towers. Palazzo Malvezzi de' Medici and Statua di Camillo Cavour also appear among its listed route points. You investigate on foot at your own pace, using the free Loquiz app on your own phone, with a playing time of 1.5 to 2 hours. Choose this story for a shared investigation connected to the square. Read what the phone asks so your companions can compare theories before deciding how to continue. The route gives your team places to encounter while the case provides a common subject to discuss throughout the walk.

What happens during the lyre search?
Secrets of Bologna asks you to help Nero Claudius Caesar recover his lost lyre in a fictional city quest. Its listed route includes Statue of Pope Gregory XIII, Wishing Well (Pozzo dei desideri), Neptune’s Fountain and Bologna’s Cathedral (Cattedrale Metropolitana di San Pietro). Those points give the mission a walking route through Bologna. You play in your phone’s browser, with no app needed, and allow 1.5 to 2 hours. Select this option when your companions would enjoy a missing object story more than a murder investigation. It has its own route and tasks, so agree on your chosen experience before beginning and follow that game together as it progresses.
What do you arrange with a small group?
A Bologna game costs €19.95 per team for at most 4 players sharing one phone. You can start whenever you want, every day, and the game remains valid for 12 months. Find a suitable day with your companions and leave room for the full playing time alongside other city plans. Friends can compare suggestions, a couple can solve together, and colleagues can share a task outside. Check whether your game uses the browser or Loquiz before starting. Keep the instructions part of the conversation so everyone can contribute an idea. Your own group follows the self-guided activity without meeting a guide for a departure at a fixed time.
