In City Conquest the centre of Almería 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 Mercado Central, Iglesia Conventual de la Compañia de Maria, and Edificio de las Mariposas. 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

Book and pay
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.

How do you play City Conquest?

Every team starts by picking a faction: a group with its own story, strengths and characters. That choice gives your team its own role in the game.

The map of Almeria shows a set of zones. Walk to one, solve its task and you conquer it. A rival team can win it back later, so you will often need to choose between defending your zones and going after new ones. The team with the most points when the playing time ends is the winner.

Which part of Almeria is the game board?

The board is made of the streets and sights on our Almeria routes. As you play you might gather at Puerta de Purchena, run past the Fuente de los 103 Municipios, cut through Parque Nicolas Salmeron or reach the Teatro Cervantes just before another team.

No team has to follow a fixed order. You decide your own way between the zones, which means every game feels a little different. Teams can split up, double back or wait near a zone to win it back at the right moment.

Who runs the group game in Almeria?

The organiser, the person who makes the main booking, prepares the game on the game master page. That is where you set the default language and the playing time. Then you start the game for all teams at once; it never starts on its own.

Each player can still choose a language on their own phone and switch it during the game. So colleagues, friends or relatives who speak different languages can join the same group game in Almeria without any trouble.

What can you book in Almeria today?

It takes 1.5–2 hours and costs €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players. You play with the free Loquiz app and start whenever you like. It is an easy way to see the centre at your own pace before or after a day on the coast.

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 play with at least 2 teams. Each team has 1 to 4 players and uses its own phone.

What does each team do during the game?

Each team walks to zones on the map and solves the task there to conquer them, while trying to keep them from rival teams.

Can we play in different languages?

Yes. The organiser sets a default language, and every player can pick and switch the language on their own phone.

Which game can I play in Almeria right now?

The Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Almeria. It takes 1.5–2 hours and costs €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players.
