In City Conquest the centre of Bratislava 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 Kostol Zvestovania Pána Bratislava, Magistrát Hlavného mesta SR Bratislavy, and Divadlo Astorka Korzo ´90. 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.

19 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.

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 does a team do in City Conquest?

City Conquest is played by at least 2 teams of 1 to 4 players, and each team has its own phone.

First you choose a faction: a group with its own story, strengths and characters. Then the hunt for zones begins. Reach one, solve its task and it counts for your team. Rival teams can solve the same task later and win the zone back, so holding on is just as important as grabbing. Points add up while the game runs, and the team on top when time is up wins.

Which places in Bratislava become your playing field?

The streets of Bratislava and the sights on our routes form the board. Moving from zone to zone, you pass places such as Stará radnica, the Pamätný kameň Karlovi Krylovi, Freedom Square and the Mestská sporiteľňa building.

With every team on the move at once, the board never stands still. Maybe a rival team just took the zone you were heading for. Turn around and win it back, or look for a quieter corner of the map? This group game in Bratislava rewards teams that talk, plan and change course quickly.

How is City Conquest organised, and who enjoys it?

The organiser, the person who made the booking, sets up the game on the game master page. They pick the default language and the playing time, then start the game for all teams together. The game never starts without the organiser.

Each player can pick and switch the language on their own phone, which suits international groups. City Conquest works well for colleagues on a company trip, friends on a weekend away, student groups, clubs and families with older children. For a group game Bratislava can host, you need at least two teams.

Which game can you play in Bratislava today?

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.
