    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.

How we check reviews

These reviews were left by players on Google and other review sites and are copied from there as they are, with their source.

How can the library fit into your sightseeing?

Carolina Rediviva is a library building at Dag Hammarskjölds Väg 1 in Uppsala. Its exterior gives your group an architectural point to notice during the walking game. Pause to look at the building together before returning to your chosen story, and compare the details that catch different companions' attention. The activity connects several places on foot, making this landmark one part of a wider outing. If you want a separate library visit, arrange that independently and allow additional time. This leaves the game free to be enjoyed as a shared walk rather than a schedule for every visit.

Which Uppsala story would your group prefer?

Secrets of Uppsala passes Carolina Rediviva during a quest to recover King Gustav Vasa's lost laurel wreath. Along its route you see the Gunilla Bell, the library and the Gustav II Adolf Obelisk. Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Uppsala passes the building too, giving your companions a detective case to follow from Stadshuset across the river towards Uppsala Castle. Its route also includes Upplands Museum. Choose the royal recovery story if that fictional objective appeals, or the detective case if you would rather keep discussing an investigation as you explore the city together on foot.

What should you know about setup and timing?

Both Uppsala games cost €19.95 per team, last 1.5 to 2 hours and allow at most 4 players sharing one phone. Secrets of Uppsala runs in the browser on your own phone, with no app needed. The detective game uses the free Loquiz app. Decide which story and device to use before beginning, then let everyone contribute ideas regardless of who handles the screen. You can start whenever you want, every day, with validity for 12 months. Add time separately for other Uppsala plans so your group can enjoy the self-guided walk at its own pace.
