    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 does the castle appear in the detective game?

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Vasteras includes Västerås Domkyrka, Västerås Castle, Vallby friluftsmuseum and Västerås Konstmuseum in that walking order. The investigation gives these places a role in your outing as locations to encounter, while your team works through a fictional detective case. Notice the castle during the walk and organise any separate interior visit independently. You can enjoy the city and the investigation at the same time by sharing each prompt before deciding on an answer. Discuss possible interpretations with your companions and leave room for someone to question the first idea, making the case a group activity throughout your route.

What happens in the Secrets adventure?

Secrets of Vasteras follows a fictional quest to help Erik Stormbeard Skaldsson recover the Horn of Endless Cheer. Its route includes Västerås Konsthall, Karlsgatan 2 and Växhuset among the locations you encounter. Choose this adventure if the discovery story appeals more than a detective case. The quest provides a playful purpose for a walk, while the city remains a real place to explore with your companions. Decide which premise interests the group before you begin, then let everyone contribute to following it. You can compare clues and ideas together without turning the story’s fictional events into claims about the history of the locations you pass.

Which phone format and price apply?

Secrets runs in the browser on your own phone without an app, while Sherlock Holmes uses the free Loquiz app. Both cost €19.95 per team, allow up to four players on one phone and take around 1.5 to 2 hours. Flexible starting times are available daily, and the purchase stays valid for 12 months. Choose a time when your group can enjoy the activity and the route as one outing. Sharing the screen when needed or reading prompts aloud keeps everyone involved. The person holding the device does not have to supply every answer; each companion can add an observation or interpretation before the team responds together.
