In City Conquest the centre of Tokyo 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 Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate), Nakamise-dōri, and Hōzōmon. 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.
How does the team battle work?
A game needs at least 2 teams, each with 1 to 4 players sharing one phone. Every team begins by choosing a faction, a group with its own story, strengths and characters.
Zones then show up on the map. Reach a zone, solve the task there and you have conquered it. But it can be won back: when another team solves the same task, the zone switches sides. You score by taking and holding zones, and when time runs out the team with the highest score is the winner. Friends, families and colleagues all get a fair shot.
Where in Tokyo do you play?
The board follows the streets and sights of our Tokyo route. Zones can lie around Akihabara Electric Town and Ueno Park, with teams moving on towards Sensō-ji Temple and the Tokyo Skytree rising above the rooftops.
Tokyo is huge, so a smart team picks its battles. Do you chase the zone a rival just left, or move ahead to one nobody has claimed yet? This group game in Tokyo is won by teams that plan, split tasks and keep talking.
How is the game set up?
The organiser, the person who booked, opens the game master page, sets the default language and the playing time, and then starts the game for all teams together.
Once the game runs, every player can choose and switch the language on their own phone. Groups who speak different languages can therefore play in one game, which works well for international teams and visiting friends.
Which game is bookable in Tokyo today?
If you want to play in Tokyo right now, the Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Tokyo can be booked today. You solve a detective case on foot, starting at Kamiike park and following the clues through the surrounding streets. It takes 1.5 to 2 hours with the free Loquiz app and costs €19.95 per team, with at most 4 players on one phone. You pick the day and the start time yourself, whenever it suits your group.
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 people can play City Conquest?
You need at least 2 teams, and each team has 1 to 4 players on its own phone.
Can a team lose a zone it has conquered?
Yes. Another team can win the zone back by solving its task, so defending matters as much as attacking.
Can players switch language during the game?
Yes. Each player can pick and switch the language on their own phone at any time.
Is there a game for a single team in Tokyo?
Yes, the Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Tokyo. It takes 1.5 to 2 hours and costs €19.95 per team.
