In City Conquest the centre of Gijón 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 Ayuntamiento de Xixón/Gijón, Antigua Capilla de San Lorenzo de Tierra, and Museo de las Termas Romanas de Campo Valdés / Muséu de les Termes Romanes d'El C. 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.

18 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.

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 does the team battle work?

First, each team chooses a faction: a group with its own story, strengths and characters. From that moment on, you are playing against the other teams.

Zones are spread across the map of Gijon. Get to a zone, solve its task and it belongs to your team. But nothing is fixed. Another team can come along and win it back, so you keep weighing up attack and defence. Once the playing time runs out, the team with the most points wins.

What do you pass on the game board in Gijon?

We use the streets and sights of our Gijon routes as the board. On the way you could come across the Termas Romanas de Campo Valdés, climb to the Cerro de Santa Catalina or meet a rival team near the Parroquia San Pedro.

Every team chooses its own path between zones. That makes each round of the game play out differently, depending on the choices of all the teams. You choose together when to move on and when to stay close to a zone you want to keep.

How do you organise the group game?

The organiser, the main booker, sets the game up on the game master page. You choose the default language and the playing time there and then start the game for all teams. It does not start in any other way.

Every player can also pick and switch the language on their own phone. Good news for a group of colleagues, friends or family where people speak different languages: everyone can follow the same group game in Gijon in the language they prefer.

Which Gijon game can you book now?

Looking for a group game Gijon lets you play straight away? Book the Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Gijon. You follow a detective murder case through the old quarter, from the Plaza Mayor up to the Cerro de Santa Catalina.

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. Friends, families and colleagues can each solve the case as a team, at their own pace.

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 big can a City Conquest team be?

A team has 1 to 4 players and plays on its own phone. A game needs at least 2 teams.

What happens when you reach a zone?

You solve the task there to conquer the zone. Other teams can then try to win it back.

Can every player choose their own language?

Yes. The organiser picks a default language, but each player can pick and switch the language on their own phone.

What can we book in Gijon today?

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