    Wir (Mein Mann, unsere 9-jährige Tochter und ich) haben heute ganz spontan das Spiel "Moordmysterie Düsseldorf" gebucht und gespielt. Die Buchung verlief schnell und reibungslos. Es hat super viel Spaß gemacht! Die Story, die Rätsel, das Konzept, die Route, die Gestaltung der App... richtig gut!!! Das Spiel würde ich vor allem Familien mit Kindern empfehlen. Für Erwachsene waren die Rätsel (meiner Meinung nach) zu einfach. Aber trotzdem wegen der schönen Route durch Düsseldorf, der Story, den lustigen Anweisungen zwischendurch eine schöne Aktion, die man zusammen machen kann.

    I had a fantastic experience with CityGame! The concept is creative, engaging, and a great way to explore a city in a completely new way. The games are well-designed, combining puzzles, storytelling, and adventure so you’re constantly discovering something interesting around every corner. What I especially love is how CityGame turns a normal walk through the city into an interactive experience. It’s perfect for friends, families, or team outings, and it makes sightseeing much more exciting than the usual tours. Everything was easy to use, the challenges were fun and clever, and it really encouraged us to look closer at the city and its hidden details. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a unique and memorable way to explore!

    This is an interesting way to conduct a self-guided Amsterdam city tour. It used the GPS on your phone to guide you to stops on a route. There are mini quizzes once you arrive at the stops on the path. The quizzes draw your attention to features in front of you or to a brief history of the place. In many cases, we visited a spot that would not have been obvious as a regular passer by. The tour as a whole was interesting to us as newcomers, but I would have liked more information on many locations we visited - a few links outside of the app for each place would have been helpful. Beyond that, the interface was a bit clunky and sometimes awkward to navigate. We definitely don't regret trying this out and feel like we got our money's worth on the experience.

Which game takes you past the square?

The Malaga Syndicate (outdoor escape game) passes Plaza de la Merced as part of a mission about Magnus and stolen formulas. Your challenge unfolds in the streets, with a phone connecting the investigation to your walk. Other stops include Plaza de la Constitución, Plaza del Obispo and Ayuntamiento de Málaga, in that order along the route. The square adds another place to notice as the story develops. Discuss each lead before entering an answer: a confident guess from one player might become a better solution after the rest of the team has considered it. This is a street adventure with shared decisions.

Choose the kind of challenge you enjoy

Secrets of Malaga is a self-guided exploration game with puzzles, photo tasks and stories about the cathedral, Roman theatre and old town. It suits a group that wants varied things to do during a walk. Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Malaga gives that walk a detective purpose instead. Its stops include Catedral de Málaga, Teatro Romano de Málaga and Castillo de Gibralfaro, in that sequence. Pick the story that your companions will enjoy discussing, rather than trying to squeeze several investigations into one outing. Each game offers a different reason to look around and keep moving through the city together.

Plan one shared phone adventure

Allow around 1.5 to 2 hours for your chosen game. All three Malaga adventures use the free Loquiz app and cost €19.95 per team. Secrets and Sherlock Holmes allow up to four players on one phone; the Syndicate allows up to five. You can start daily at a flexible time, and your purchase remains valid for 12 months. Choose a moment when everyone can take part in the puzzles, with enough room in the day to enjoy the walk. Read prompts aloud and share the screen where useful, so the person carrying the phone does not become the only person following the story.

Does the Syndicate use an escape room?

No. It is an outdoor escape game played on foot in the streets.

Can five people play together?

Yes, in the Syndicate. Secrets and Sherlock Holmes each allow up to four players per team.

Is the price per player?

No. The listed price is €19.95 per team.

Do we need to install an app?

Yes. These Malaga games use the free Loquiz app.
