In City Conquest the centre of Alicante 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 Plaça de la Muntanyeta / Plaza de la Montañeta, Eleuterio Maisonnave, and Refugio antiaéreo. 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.

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.

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

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 are the rules of City Conquest?

City Conquest is played by at least 2 teams of 1 to 4 players, each team on its own phone. Every team first picks a faction, a group with its own story, strengths and characters.

Then the hunt for zones begins. Walk to a zone on the map and solve its task to take it. Another team can come along later and win it back, so keep an eye on the map. Points build up throughout the playing time. At the end, the team with the highest score wins.

Which streets and sights of Alicante form the board?

The streets of Alicante and the sights on our routes are the playing field. Close to the harbour you pass the fountain on Puerta del Mar Square and the striking Casa Carbonell.

In the centre, the Ayuntamiento de Alicante, the Co-cathedral of St. Nicholas and the old ficus trees of Gabriel Miró Square mark out more of the area. The Teatro Principal de Alicante and the Monumento a Canalejas are also part of our routes. Zones lie between these places, so your team crosses the city while planning the next move. This group game in Alicante mixes a walk in the sun with real competition.

How do the organiser and the players get started?

The organiser is the main booker. On the game master page they set the default language and the playing time, and then start the game for all teams at the same moment. The game cannot be played without that start.

Every player can pick and switch the language on their own phone. In a city that welcomes so many visitors, that means a mixed group can share one match, with each player reading the tasks in their preferred language.

Which games in Alicante can you book today?

Two Alicante games are bookable today. In Secrets of Alicante you help Cantara find Ali, past Casa Carbonell and Alicante Town Hall, in the browser on your own phone with no app.

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Alicante is a detective case on foot that ends near the sea at Casa Carbonell, played with the free Loquiz app. Both take 1.5 to 2 hours and cost €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players. Start whenever you like, every day, within 12 months.

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 people can play City Conquest?

You need at least 2 teams, and each team has 1 to 4 players on its own phone.

What is a faction in the group game in Alicante?

A faction is a group with its own story, strengths and characters. Every team picks one before the game starts.

Who sets the playing time?

The organiser who booked sets the playing time and the default language on the game master page.

Can we play in different languages?

Yes. Each player can pick and switch the language on their own phone during the game.
