In City Conquest the centre of Mexico City 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 Iglesia de la Profesa, Arte callejero, and Museo del Calzado El Borceguí. When time is up, the team with the most points wins; with equal points, the team with the most ducats wins.

How to play

  1. 1

    Explore

    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 .

  2. 2

    Conquer

    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 .

  3. 3

    Defend 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 .

  4. 4

    Final 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

Often chosen by companies

With 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 pay

The 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 makes City Conquest a competitive team game?

City Conquest is built around rivalry. Each team plays for a faction with its own story, strengths and characters, and every zone on the map is up for grabs. Walk to a zone, solve the task and it is yours.

But the other teams are playing too. They can reach your zone, solve the task and win it back. That means your group keeps talking tactics: chase a new zone, or go back and reclaim the one you just lost? When the playing time ends, the scores are compared and the team with the most points wins. It suits friends, families and colleagues who enjoy a contest.

Which landmarks of Mexico City are on the board?

The board is made of the streets of Mexico City and the sights on our routes. Your team walks through the historic centre while moving from zone to zone.

On the way you can see the Torre Latinoamericana, pass the Casa de los Azulejos, cross the Constitution Plaza and reach the Museo del Templo Mayor. Each team decides its own route between these places, so the game plays out differently every time. A team game in Mexico City this way gives you both a contest and a walk through the streets at the heart of the city.

Group game Mexico City: how is it set up and started?

The organiser, the person who made the main booking, sets up City Conquest on the game master page. They choose the default language and the playing time and then start the game for all teams at once. The game cannot begin without them.

After the start, every player can choose a language on their own phone and switch it during the game. That is handy for international groups: you can all play the same match while each reading the tasks in the language you are most comfortable with.

What can you book in Mexico City today?

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Mexico City can be booked today. You solve a detective murder mystery from the Plaza de la Constitución past the Templo Mayor to Bellas Artes. The game takes 1.5–2 hours and costs €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players. You play in the free Loquiz app and start whenever you like, on any day that suits your group. The case gives you a story to follow through the centre, and it works well for a smaller group that prefers working together over competing.

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.

Does every team need its own phone?

Yes. Each team of one to four players plays on its own phone, and you need at least two teams.

Can we choose the language of the tasks?

The organiser sets a default language, and every player can pick and switch the language on their own phone.
