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.

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.

  • 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 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

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 happens during a round of City Conquest?

Each team starts by choosing a faction, a group with its own story, strengths and characters. That faction is what you play for.

The map shows zones spread across town. When your team reaches one, you solve the task there and the zone is conquered. Another team can follow, solve the same task and win it back, so you have to decide where to spend your time: chase fresh zones or defend the ones you hold. When the playing time runs out, the team with the most points wins. The rivalry stays friendly, but it is a real contest.

Which places in Puerto Princesa make up the board?

The streets of Puerto Princesa and the sights on our routes are the board for City Conquest. Teams walk between zones and see the town as they go.

On your way you can pass the Immaculate Conception Cathedral and the Palawan Museum, cross Plaza Cuartel and come out on the Puerto Princesa City Baywalk. Each team chooses its own route, so where you walk is part of your tactics. It gives a team game in Puerto Princesa the feel of a match played across the whole town.

Group game Puerto Princesa: who runs the start?

The organiser, the person who makes the main booking, prepares the game on the game master page. They set the default language and the playing time, and then start the game for all teams together. City Conquest does not run until the organiser starts it.

From then on, each player can pick a language on their own phone and switch it at any time. A group of travellers from different countries can therefore play one match, each reading the tasks in their own language.

Which game can you book in Puerto Princesa today?

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Puerto Princesa can be booked today. You take on a detective murder mystery on foot, from the city sign past Plaza Cuartel to the baywalk on the bay. It 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. It suits a smaller group that would rather solve a case together than compete.

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?
