In City Conquest the centre of Barcelona 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 Sant Jaume, Cathedral front (Pla de la Seu), and Plaça Nova and the Roman gate. 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.
What is City Conquest?
City Conquest is a game in which at least 2 teams of 1 to 4 players compete, each team on its own phone. Every team starts by choosing a faction: a group with its own story, strengths and characters.
You then walk to the zones on the map and solve the task at each one to conquer it. Rival teams can win a zone back, so you need a plan for attacking and defending. Points count up during the playing time, and the team with the most points at the end wins the match.
Which parts of Barcelona are on the game board?
The game board is made of Barcelona's streets and the sights on our routes. In the old centre you pass the Pont del Bisbe and the El Beso mosaic, and you cross Carrer de Sant Pere Més Alt on the way to Plaça de Catalunya.
Our routes also take in famous places such as Casa Batlló and the Basílica de la Sagrada Família. Zones are spread across this area, so teams keep moving and discussing their next step. This group game in Barcelona gives you a reason to explore the streets together while you compete.
How does the organiser set up the match?
The organiser, meaning the main booker, sets up the match on the game master page. They choose the default language and the playing time and then start the game for all teams at once.
Players can pick and switch the language on their own phone at any time. In an international city like Barcelona, that lets a mixed group of friends or colleagues play one shared match without anyone missing out.
Which games in Barcelona can you book today?
Two games in Barcelona can be booked today. In Secrets of Barcelona you help flamenco dancer Carmen Amaya recover her missing shoes in the old centre, playing in the browser on your own phone with no app.
Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Barcelona is a detective case that starts at Plaça Nova beside the cathedral and uses the free Loquiz app. Both games take 1.5 to 2 hours and cost €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players. Start whenever you like, every day, and the game is valid for 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.
What is the smallest group that can play City Conquest?
You need at least 2 teams. A team can be 1 to 4 players, each team on its own phone.
What happens when another team reaches our zone?
They can win it back by solving the task there. That is why defending your zones matters.
Who starts the group game in Barcelona?
The organiser who booked sets the language and playing time on the game master page and starts the game for all teams.
Is it a fun activity for a company outing?
Yes. Colleagues split into teams of up to 4 and compete in one match, each player in the language they choose.
