In City Conquest the centre of Brescia 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 Provincia di Brescia, Concattedrale invernale di Santa Maria Assunta, and Chiesa di Santa Maria della Carità. When time is up, the team with the most points wins; with equal points, the team with the most ducats wins.

How to play
1Explore
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 
.
2Conquer
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 
.
3Defend 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 
.
4Final 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.
19 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.
Speed potionWait times and zone locks halved for 10 minutes.
Wisdom potionRemoves one wrong answer from your next multiple-choice question.
Strength potionYour next conquest scores double.
ShieldBlocks the next attack on your team (20 seconds to react).
MirrorSends the next attack straight back to the team that left it.

ScoutShows other teams' drops within 100 m for 2 minutes; walk to one to defuse it.- BombLeave it on the street: the team that walks into it loses 25 points.
TrapLeave it on the street: 3 minutes no conquering and no answering.
FogLeave it on the street: for 4 minutes their map shows only 100 m around them.
CurseLeave it on the street: on their next 2 questions a wrong answer costs double.
SabotageLeave it on the street: steals one thing from their backpack (or 30 ducats).

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.
€19.95 per team
Book and payOften chosen by companiesWith 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 payThe 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 during a game of City Conquest?
During City Conquest, teams spread out over Brescia, solve tasks at zones on the map and fight to hold those zones for points.
It begins with each team choosing a faction, a group with its own story, strengths and characters. After that, you decide where to go. Solving a zone's task gives you that zone, but rival teams can do the same and take it from you. The game rewards teams that talk, split decisions sensibly and keep an eye on the map. When the playing time is up, the highest score wins.
Which Brescia sights form the board?
The board is the centre of Brescia, built from the streets and sights on our existing routes.
Think of the Castello di Brescia and the Via Militare up the hill, then Piazza della Loggia, the Broletto and the Duomo Vecchio, La Rotonda, below. Between the hill and the squares, teams have to pick their battles. A team game in Brescia like this turns well-known corners into ground you want to hold.
How is the game set up and started?
The organiser, the person who booked, sets up City Conquest on the game master page and starts it for all teams together.
The organiser chooses the default language and the playing time on that page. The game only runs once the organiser starts it, so no team has an early lead. Each player can then pick and switch the language on their own phone. That makes this group game Brescia easy for colleagues from different countries, groups of friends or families.
Which games can you book in Brescia today?
Brescia has two City Game games you can book today, each for €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players.

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Brescia is a detective case past the Duomo Nuovo, the Duomo Vecchio and the Broletto, in the free Loquiz app. Both take 1.5–2 hours.
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 teams play City Conquest?
At least two teams, each with 1 to 4 players on its own phone.
What do you do at a zone?
