In City Conquest the centre of Monza 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 Municipio di Monza, Casa Torre dei Gualtieri, and Mercato Piazza Trento e Trieste. 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 is City Conquest and how do teams win?
City Conquest is our group game for at least two teams of 1 to 4 players competing for zones in Monza, each team on its own phone.
The game starts when every team picks a faction: a group with its own story, strengths and characters. Then you walk to the zones on the map. Solve the task at a zone and you conquer it. The other teams can win it back with the same task, so you can never be quite sure of your lead. When the playing time ends, the team with the most points wins.
Which places in Monza make up the board?
Monza's streets and the sights on our routes form the board. As you move between zones you may see the Duomo di Monza (Cathedral of Monza), pass Theodelinda's Tower, cross the Bridge of Lions and find the Murales Via Talamoni (Graffiti Art on Via Talamoni).
Your team picks its own way between zones, and that is where the tactics lie. It is a team game that works well for friends, families, colleagues and clubs who want to explore Monza while competing for points.
How does the organiser start City Conquest?
The organiser is the person who books. On the game master page they set up City Conquest, choose the default language and the playing time, and start the game for all teams at once.
During the game, every player can choose their own language on their phone and switch it whenever they like, so groups with different languages can join in.
Which game can you book in Monza today?
Today you can book Secrets of Monza. You walk past cathedrals, through lively streets and over bridges as you help Queen Theodelinda reclaim the sacred crucifix that once bound her faith and her kingdom.
The game runs in the browser on your own phone, no app needed. It takes 1.5 to 2 hours and costs €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players. You can start every day, whenever you want, and the game is valid for 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 can be in one team?
A City Conquest team has 1 to 4 players and plays on its own phone. At least two teams are needed.
Can we lose a zone?
Yes. Another team can win a zone back by solving the task there.
Who sets the language and the playing time?
The organiser sets both on the game master page, then starts the game for all teams.
Can each player pick their own language?
Yes. Every player can pick and switch the language on their own phone.
Do I need an app for Secrets of Monza?
No. Secrets of Monza runs in the browser on your own phone. It takes 1.5 to 2 hours.
