    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.

A statue on the trail of a lost instrument

Secrets of Bologna includes the statue before Wishing Well (Pozzo dei desideri), Neptune’s Fountain and Bologna’s Cathedral (Cattedrale Metropolitana di San Pietro). These locations form part of your route through the city as the game follows the search for Nero’s lost lyre. Let the fictional quest guide your attention without confusing its events with the history of the places themselves. The attraction of playing together is the exchange of ideas: one person might suggest an interpretation, while another sees a reason to reconsider it. Pause to agree on your response before continuing with the story and the next part of the walk.

Choose discovery or detective work

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Bologna offers a detective investigation as an alternative to the lost-lyre quest. It follows a case on foot through central Bologna, starting from Piazza Maggiore and continuing under the arcades towards the towers. Listed stops include Palazzo Malvezzi de’ Medici, Statua di Camillo Cavour and Fontana del Nettuno, followed by Monumento a Marco Minghetti. Choose Sherlock Holmes if your group wants a case to unravel, or Secrets if the discovery story appeals more. Both give you something to think about while exploring, with the adventure helping your companions make decisions and stay involved in the outing.

Play in the browser or with Loquiz
