In City Conquest the centre of Algeciras 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 Capilla de Nuestra Señora de Europa, Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes, and Plaza de la Constitución Española. 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 do you play City Conquest?
In City Conquest, teams of 1 to 4 players compete for zones on the map of Algeciras, and the team with the most points at the end wins.
Each team first picks a faction: a group with its own story, strengths and characters. Then you head out. At every zone there is a task. Solve it and the zone goes to your team. Another team can take it over later, so you have to decide again and again whether to attack new zones or defend your own.
Which places in Algeciras form the game board?
The game board is made up of the streets of Algeciras and the sights on our routes. You play around Plaza Alta, the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Palma and Plaza San Isidro.
The Parroquia de María Auxiliadora y San Isidro, Plaza Andalucía, Parque del Centenario and María Cristina Park are part of the area as well. With zones spread between the squares and parks, good teamwork matters. Agree who follows the map and who reads the tasks, and move fast when a rival team is closing in.
What does the organiser set up?
The organiser, meaning the person who books the group game in Algeciras, sets it up on the game master page and starts it for all teams. That is where you choose the default language and the playing time.
The game cannot begin without the organiser starting it. Every player can pick a language on their own phone and switch it during play, which helps when your group of friends, colleagues or family speaks more than one language.
Which games can you book in Algeciras today?
In Algeciras you can book three games today and start whenever you like, every day. Secrets of Algeciras starts at Plaza Alta, with puzzles, photo tasks and stories about the town along the way.
Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Algeciras takes you past Parque del Centenario and the Algeciras Municipal Museum. The Algeciras Syndicate (outdoor escape game) runs from Plaza Alta past the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Palma to Plaza San Isidro. Each game takes 1.5 to 2 hours and costs €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players, or 5 for The Syndicate.
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 take part?
At least 2 teams, each with 1 to 4 players and its own phone.
How do you score in City Conquest?
By conquering zones: walk there and solve the task. The team with the most points when time is up wins.
Who decides the playing time?
The organiser, on the game master page, where they also pick the default language and start the game.
Can I play in my own language?
Yes. Each player can pick and switch the language on their own phone.
