In City Conquest the centre of Verona 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 delle Erbe, Chiesa di San Tomìo, and Chiesa di San Benedetto al Monte. 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.

Wisdom potionRemoves one wrong answer from your next multiple-choice question.
Strength potionYour next conquest scores double.

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.

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 our group game in which at least two teams compete for zones across the same city.
Before you start, each team picks a faction: a group with its own story, its own strengths and its own characters. Then you head out on foot. Reach a zone on the map, solve the task there and the zone is yours. The other teams can win it back, so the score keeps moving right up to the end. When the playing time runs out, the team with the most points wins.
Where in Verona do you play the group game?
The game board is the streets of Verona and the sights on our routes.
Think of Piazza delle Erbe with its market stalls, the Balcone di Romeo e Giulietta and the Arena di Verona on Piazza Bra, with the Fontana di Piazza Bra close by. Piazza dei Signori, the Domus Mercatorum and the Torre dei Lamberti are part of these routes too, as is the Arco dei Gavi. Because your team walks from zone to zone, you see a large part of the historic centre along the way. That makes this group game Verona a city walk with real competition.
How does the organiser start the game?
The organiser, the person who books, sets up the game on the game master page and starts it for all teams at once.
On that page you choose the default language and the playing time. Every team then begins at the same moment, so nobody gets a head start. Each player can pick a language on their own phone and switch it during the game, which helps when your group of friends or colleagues speaks different languages.
Which games can you book in Verona today?
In Verona you can book two games today, each for €19.95 per team with max. 4 players per team.
In Secrets of Verona you join Dante Alighieri on a quest to recover the missing page of The Divine Comedy, walking through romantic streets and past ancient arenas. You play on your own phone in the browser, no app needed. Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Verona is a detective case on foot from Piazza Brà and the Arena to Piazza Erbe. Both games take 1.5 to 2 hours. You start whenever you want, every day, and your game stays 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 teams do you need for the group game Verona?
You need at least two teams. Each team has 1 to 4 players and plays on its own phone.
What is a faction?
A faction is the group your team plays as. Each one has its own story, strengths and characters.
Can another team take our zone?
Yes. Other teams can win back a zone you conquered, so nothing is settled until the time is up.
Can everyone play in their own language?
Yes. The organiser sets a default language, but every player can choose and switch the language on their own phone.
What do the games you can book in Verona today cost?
Secrets of Verona and Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Verona cost €19.95 per team. Each takes 1.5 to 2 hours.
