In City Conquest the centre of Marbella 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 Capilla de Santiago, Fuente de las Ranas, and Plaza de la Iglesia. 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 are the rules of City Conquest?
There are always at least 2 teams, with 1 to 4 players per team and one phone each. Every team chooses a faction before play starts. A faction is a group with its own story, strengths and characters.
During the game you walk to zones on the map and solve the task you find there. Succeed and the zone counts for your team. Other teams can then try to win it back in the same way. At the end of the playing time, the team with the most points wins.
Which parts of Marbella become your playing field?
You play on the streets of Marbella and around the sights on our routes. Expect to pass places such as the Plaza de los Naranjos, the Iglesia de la Encarnación, the Parque de la Alameda and the Avenida del Mar.
Every team plots its own course. Will you rush to an open zone or protect the one you already hold? Those quick team decisions turn a stroll into a real match, and make this group game in Marbella a good fit for friends, families and work groups.
How is the game prepared and started?
The organiser is the person who made the booking. They open the game master page, choose the default language and set the playing time. Then they start the game for all teams at the same moment. The game never runs without that start from the organiser.
On their own phone, every player can pick a language and switch it whenever they like. That way nobody in a mixed-language group has to miss a thing.
What can you already book in Marbella?
Marbella already has three city games you can book today. Secrets of Marbella starts at the Plaza de los Naranjos and leads you through the old town with puzzles, photo tasks and stories. Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Marbella takes you past the Museo del Grabado Español Contemporáneo, the Avenida del Mar and the Iglesia de la Encarnacion. In The Marbella Syndicate (outdoor escape game) you chase Magnus from the Plaza de los Naranjos past the Capilla de San Juan de Dios to the Plaza de África.
Each game takes 1.5 to 2 hours and costs €19.95 per team, on one phone with at most 4 players (at most 5 for the Syndicate game). You start whenever you like.
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 teams are needed to play?
You need at least 2 teams. Each team has 1 to 4 players and uses its own phone.
What is the goal of City Conquest?
Capture as many zones as you can by solving the tasks there. The team with the most points when time runs out wins.
Who starts the game for everyone?
The organiser, the main booker, starts the game for all teams from the game master page.
Is the game available in several languages?
Each player can choose and switch the language on their own phone. The organiser sets the default language.
