Group games: teams against each otherCity Conquest
Race Through Manila
Expected soon in Manila
A city game where teams play against each other: at least 2 teams of 1–4 players, each team on its own phone.
- 2–20 teams
In City Conquest the centre of Manila becomes a game board for your whole group: at least two teams race to conquer zones, and other teams can win them back. 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.
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.
Often 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
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.
How does City Conquest work?
City Conquest is a team-against-team game on a shared map. Before you start, each team chooses a faction: a group with its own story, strengths and characters. Your faction shapes how your team plays.
You walk to a zone, solve the task there and conquer it. Another team can come later and win it back. That keeps every team moving and talking: grab new zones or go back to protect your own? When the playing time ends, the team with the most points takes the win.
Group game Manila: where in Intramuros do you play?
The board is built from the streets of Intramuros and the sights on our routes. Zones can send you to Casa Manila Intramuros, along the Intramuros Walls, to Bahay Tsinoy, Museum of Chinese in Philippine Life, or to San Agustin Church and Convent.
The walled city is compact, so teams run into each other often. You see the old streets while you play, and the map keeps shifting as teams win and lose zones.
How is the group game Manila organised?
The organiser, who makes the booking, sets up City Conquest on the game master page. They choose the default language and the playing time and start the game for all teams at once. City Conquest only starts this way.
Every player can pick and switch the language on their own phone, so Filipino, English and other speakers can play together. It suits company groups, barkadas, families, school groups and friends who like to compete.
What can you play in Manila today?
Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Manila is ready to book today. You solve a detective murder case on foot, walking Intramuros from the Ayuntamiento to Fort Santiago at your own pace, passing San Agustin Church and Convent and Casa Manila Intramuros on the way.
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.
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 we need?
At least two teams. Each team has 1 to 4 players and uses one phone.
What is a faction?
A faction is a group with its own story, strengths and characters. Every team chooses one at the start.
Can another team take our zone?
Yes. Any team can win a zone back by solving the task there.
Who decides how long we play?
The organiser sets the playing time and default language on the game master page before starting the game.
