In City Conquest the centre of Milan 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 Piazza del Duomo (the king on horseback), The cathedral front (Duomo), and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II (the octagon). 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.
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.
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.
AntidoteEnds fog, a trap or a curse at once.
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 do you do in City Conquest?
City Conquest is a city game for at least 2 teams of 1 to 4 players, with one phone per team. Each team picks a faction, a group with its own story, strengths and characters.
The aim is to control zones. Walk to a zone on the map and solve the task there to conquer it. Other teams can win the zone back, so the balance keeps shifting. Points add up during the playing time, and the team with the most points when the clock stops wins. Planning your route as a team is half the fun.
Which places in Milan are on the game board?
We use Milan's streets and the sights on our routes as the board. Piazza del Duomo and the Duomo of Milan sit at the heart of it, with the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II right next door.
A short walk away you find Palazzo Marino, the Chiesa di San Fedele and Casa Manzoni, and Sforzesco Castle lies further along. Zones are spread across this area, so teams move through busy squares and quieter streets while they plan. This group game in Milan shows you the centre from a new angle.
How is the match started?
The organiser, meaning the main booker, sets up the match on the game master page. There they pick the default language and the playing time, and then start the game for all teams at the same time. Every match starts this way.
Each player can choose and switch the language on their own phone. That works well for international offices and mixed groups of friends, since everyone follows the same match in the language they prefer.
Which Milan games can you book today?
Two games in Milan can be booked today. In Secrets of Milan you help Alessandro Manzoni reclaim his inspiration, passing San Fedele Church, Casa Manzoni and the Leonardo da Vinci Statue, in the browser on your own phone with no app.
Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Milan goes from Palazzo Marino past Teatro alla Scala to Sforzesco Castle, using the free Loquiz app. Both take 1.5 to 2 hours and cost €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players. Start whenever you like, every day, within 12 months.
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 City Conquest need?
At least 2 teams of 1 to 4 players each, with one phone per team.
Can we lose a zone we have conquered?
Yes. Another team can win it back by solving the task at that zone.
Is the group game in Milan good for a team outing?
Yes. Colleagues compete in teams of up to 4, and each player can choose their own language on their phone.
Who starts the game?
The organiser who booked starts the game for all teams from the game master page.
