In City Conquest the centre of Seoul 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 Gwanghwamun Gate, Museum of Korean Contemporary History, and Waterway of History. 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 City Conquest work in Seoul?
City Conquest is a team-against-team game: every team plays on its own phone, walks to zones on the map and solves the task at each zone to conquer it. Another team can come along later and take that zone back, so you keep moving, plan your route and decide when to defend and when to attack.
Before you set off, every team picks a faction. Each faction is a group with its own story, strengths and characters, which gives your team a role to play and a reason to want the zones. When the playing time is up, the team with the most points wins.
Group game Seoul: where do you play?
The board is made of the streets and sights on our routes in central Seoul. You might find yourself racing towards the Ten-story Stone Pagoda of Wongaksa Temple Site, cutting along the water of Cheonggyecheon Stream or slipping into the narrow lanes of Ikseon-dong Hanok Village to hold a zone before another team gets there.
Because the zones sit between real places, the group game in Seoul doubles as a walk through the old centre. You see the city while you play, and the map keeps changing as teams win and lose ground.
Who organises the group game Seoul teams play?
The organiser, the person who books, runs the game from the game master page. There they choose the default language and the playing time, and then start the game for all teams at once. City Conquest always starts this way; there is no mode where teams begin on their own.
Every player can pick and switch the language on their own phone, so a mixed group of travellers, expats and locals can play together without anyone being left out. That makes this group game in Seoul a good fit for team outings, school trips, birthdays and groups of friends who like a bit of rivalry.
Which game can you book in Seoul today?
If you want to play in Seoul right now, try Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Seoul. You work a detective murder case on foot, from the Metropolitan Library along the Cheonggyecheon to Insadong, and pass sights such as the Alive Museum and Cheonggyecheon Stream on the way.
It takes 1.5–2 hours and costs €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players. You play it in the free Loquiz app.
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 you need for City Conquest?
You need at least two teams. Each team has 1 to 4 players and plays on its own phone.
Can players use different languages in the same game?
Yes. The organiser sets a default language, and every player can pick and switch the language on their own phone.
Who starts the game?
The organiser starts it for all teams from the game master page, after setting the language and playing time. Teams cannot start City Conquest on their own.
Is there another game in Seoul I can play now?
Yes, Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Seoul can be booked today. It takes 1.5–2 hours and costs €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players.
