In City Conquest the centre of Pisa 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 dei Cavalieri, Palazzo del Capitano, and Chiesa di Sant'Apollonia. 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.

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?
City Conquest is a city game for at least 2 teams of 1 to 4 players. Every team plays on its own phone and starts by choosing a faction, a group with its own story, strengths and characters.
The zones on the map are what it is all about. Walk to a zone, solve its task and you conquer it. Rival teams can win zones back, so the scores can change right until the end. Points count during the whole playing time, and the team with the most points at the finish wins.
Where in Pisa do the teams play?
Pisa's streets and the sights on our routes are the game board. Around the cathedral square you find the Dom Santa Maria Assunta, the Baptistery of St. John, the Camposanto and the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo.
Away from that square, the Bagni di Nerone, the old city gate Porta a Lucca and the University of Pisa are part of our routes too, as is the National Museum of San Matteo. Zones lie spread across these places, so teams keep moving through town. This group game in Pisa takes you well beyond the cathedral square.
How do the organiser and players prepare?
The organiser, the person who booked, sets up the game on the game master page. They pick the default language and the playing time, and then start the game for all teams at once. Teams do not start a match on their own.
Every player can then pick and switch the language on their own phone. That helps a mixed group, such as students, international colleagues or a family with relatives from abroad, to share one match.
Which games in Pisa can you book today?
You can book two Pisa games today. In Secrets of Pisa you race to recover Galileo's telescope, passing the Gipsoteca di Arte Antica, the Bagni di Nerone and Porta a Lucca, in the browser on your own phone with no app.
Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Pisa runs from Piazza dei Cavalieri to the tower on the Piazza dei Miracoli and uses 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.
What is the minimum group size for City Conquest?
You need at least 2 teams. Each team has 1 to 4 players and its own phone.
What happens at a zone?
You solve the task there to conquer the zone. Other teams can later win it back.
Who chooses the language and playing time?
The organiser sets both on the game master page, and each player can still switch the language on their own phone.
Is the group game in Pisa suitable for students and families?
Yes. Teams of 1 to 4 walk and solve tasks together, which works for students, families, friends and colleagues.
