    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.

What you see at Stadhuisplein in Almere

Stadhuisplein is the central square of Almere's city centre, named after the city hall that stands on it. It is a wide, open space where shopping streets come together, and it often feels like the meeting point of the centre.

Take a moment at the fountain and look at the buildings around you. Almere is one of the youngest cities in the Netherlands, and that shows in the modern architecture. The Grote Markt, De Lichtboog and the Kolkplein are all a short walk away, so this is where the layout of the centre starts to make sense.

Which City Game routes pass Stadhuisplein Almere

Two of our games take you across Stadhuisplein Almere.

In the Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Almere you play a detective story inspired by Sherlock Holmes. The route begins at Stadhuis Almere, crosses Stadhuisplein and continues towards the Grote Markt and De Lichtboog, while you collect clues on your phone.

The Almere Syndicate (outdoor escape game) is played in the streets: you chase Magnus and his stolen formulas from the Nieuwe Bibliotheek Almere past Stadhuis Almere and the Esplanade towards the Citadel. Teams of 2 to 5 players use the free Loquiz app.

Secrets of Almere comes close too: its route from the Kunstlinie and the Weerwater Promenade includes Almere City Hall and the fountain at Stadhuisplein.

Why a game is a fun way to see the square

A city game turns a walk through the centre into a shared challenge. You look closely at buildings and details because the next riddle depends on it, and photo tasks make you stop at spots you might otherwise pass.

Each game takes 1.5 to 2 hours. You start whenever you want, with no guide and no fixed time slot. The Sherlock and Secrets games run in the browser on your own phone, so there is nothing to install. It suits friends, couples, families with older children and colleagues.

Price and how to start

A game costs €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players. For The Almere Syndicate a team is 2 to 5 players on one phone. You buy the game online, open it on your phone and begin at the first stop when your team is ready.

Coming with a bigger group? Split into several teams, start at the same time and compare your scores at the end. It is an easy way to turn a visit to the square into a small competition with friends or colleagues.

Is the square on the route of a City Game?

Yes. The Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Almere and The Almere Syndicate (outdoor escape game) both pass Stadhuisplein, and the Secrets of Almere route includes the fountain on the square.

How long does a game in Almere take?

Plan for 1.5 to 2 hours of walking and puzzling. You can take breaks whenever you like.

What does it cost?

€19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players. A Syndicate team can have 2 to 5 players.

Do I need to download an app?

For the Sherlock and Secrets games you play in the browser on your own phone, no app needed. The Almere Syndicate uses the free Loquiz app.

Can we start at any time?

Yes, you start whenever you want, with no guide and no fixed start time.
