    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.

What search passes the museum?

Secrets of Linkoping passes Östergötlands Museum during a fictional quest with Elias Ståhl to recover his Ultimate Magic Pencil. Along the listed route you encounter the fountain at Järntorget, Linköpings Kommun and Nya Rådhuset Tower. These points give the story a walking route, while the missing pencil gives your companions something to solve together. The game takes 1.5 to 2 hours and works in your phone’s browser with no app needed. Choose it for a creative search on foot with your own group. Any independent museum visit can be planned around the activity rather than being treated as part of the phone-led game.

Where can you begin a detective case?

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Linkoping starts at the cathedral and leads through the old centre. Linköping's Castle- and Cathedral Museum and Linköping Konsert & Kongress are also among its listed route points. You follow the fictional investigation on foot at your own pace, using the free Loquiz app on your own phone. The playing time is 1.5 to 2 hours. Choose this experience if your companions enjoy comparing theories about a case. Its mission differs from the pencil search, so agree on the story and route that interest the group before beginning. Your team works through the chosen game together as it walks.

What should a small group arrange?

A Linkoping game costs €19.95 per team, with at most 4 players sharing one phone. You can start whenever you want, every day, within 12 months of validity. Choose a day that leaves space for the full experience and check the phone setup for your selected game. Couples can solve side by side, friends can suggest different approaches, and colleagues can share a task outside. Keep the screen’s instructions part of the conversation so the phone holder is not the only person involved. The activity is self-guided, with your own team following the game and making decisions rather than being led through the route by a guide.

Is the pencil search fictional?

Which option needs no app?

Yes. The limit is at most 4 players on one phone, for €19.95 per team.
