In City Conquest the centre of Linköping 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 Stora torget, Jöns Jacob Berzelius, and Trädgårdstorget. 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 pay
Often 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 about?
City Conquest is a city game for at least 2 teams of 1 to 4 players, each team on its own phone. At the start every team chooses a faction, a group with its own story, strengths and characters.
From there, the map is full of zones. Walk to one and solve the task to conquer it. Other teams can win it back, so you decide together when to attack and when to defend. Points build up throughout the playing time, and the team with the most points at the end wins the match.
Where in Linkoping do the teams play?
We use the streets of Linkoping and the sights on our routes as the game board. Around the cathedral you find Linköping Cathedral itself and Linköping's Castle- and Cathedral Museum.
In the centre, the Nya Rådhuset Tower with its yellow brick stripes, the fountain at Järntorget and the bench at Lilla Torget mark out more of the area where zones can lie, and Linköping Konsert & Kongress is part of our routes too. Teams cross the centre several times while chasing points. This group game in Linkoping turns everyday streets into a playing field.
How does the organiser run the game?
The organiser is the main booker. On the game master page they set the default language and the playing time, and then start the game for all teams together. There is no mode in which teams start on their own.
Once the game is running, each player can pick and switch the language on their own phone. That lets a mixed group of students, colleagues or friends share one match.
Which Linkoping games can you book today?
Two games in Linkoping can be booked today. In Secrets of Linkoping you join Elias Ståhl on a quest to reclaim his Ultimate Magic Pencil, playing in the browser on your own phone with no app.
Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Linkoping starts at the cathedral and leads through the old centre, using the free Loquiz app. Both take 1.5 to 2 hours and cost €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players. Start whenever you like, every day, within 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.
How many players can a City Conquest team have?
Each team has 1 to 4 players on its own phone. You need at least 2 teams.
Can a zone be taken from us?
Yes. Another team can win the zone back by solving the task there.
Who starts the group game in Linkoping?
The organiser who booked starts the game for every team from the game master page.
Can players read the tasks in different languages?
Yes. Each player can pick and switch the language on their own phone.
