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 makes this courtyard a worthwhile pause?
Hof van Sonoy is a courtyard in Alkmaar that you pass during the detective and Syndicate games. A courtyard offers a different kind of city space from a square or a church frontage. Look at how the buildings frame it and take a moment to notice the change in setting. Including it in a game walk connects a smaller place with the better-known landmarks along your route. Your group can enjoy looking around while sharing a story that carries the outing forward. Choose a murder case if you like investigating together, or a street pursuit if chasing stolen formulas sounds appealing.

How do the game routes include Hof van Sonoy?
The Alkmaar Syndicate (outdoor escape game) passes Hof van Sonoy on a hunt for Magnus and stolen formulas from Canadaplein towards the Waaggebouw.

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Alkmaar also passes the courtyard on a case from Canadaplein past the church towards De Waag.
