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.

Why make the square part of a walking game?
Varkensmarkt is a square in Amersfoort that is passed by Secrets and the detective game. Looking across a square lets you take in several buildings and streets together, rather than concentrating on a single sight. Pause to notice the setting before continuing your activity. A game connects those views through something your group does together. You can choose discovery puzzles and photo tasks or discuss a murder investigation, depending on what everyone enjoys. Decide the theme first, then let the square become one recognisable moment in a wider outing with more places to explore through the city on foot.

Which routes connect Varkensmarkt with city sights?
Secrets of Amersfoort passes Varkensmarkt during a walk with puzzles, photo tasks and stories about Lange Jan, Koppelpoort and Muurhuizen. You see Mondriaanhuis before the square, then Amersfoortse Kei and Mariënhof. Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Amersfoort also passes the square, following a case from the Hof towards Onze Lieve Vrouwetoren. Its route includes Koppelpoort, then Lieve Vrouwekerkhof, the House with Purple Windows and Groot Tinnenburg. For an outdoor pursuit, The Amersfoort Syndicate (outdoor escape game) follows Magnus and stolen formulas from the Hof towards the tower. You encounter the Hof before Sint-Joriskerk, then Kamperbinnenpoort and Weverssingel while sharing that story with your team.
How do you plan the activity with your group?
Each Amersfoort game costs €19.95 per team and takes 1.5 to 2 hours, using the free Loquiz app on your own phone. Secrets and Sherlock Holmes allow at most 4 players on one phone; The Syndicate allows at most 5. Compare those limits and the theme when choosing what to share with friends, your partner or colleagues. You may start whenever you want, every day, and the game stays valid for 12 months. Arrange a convenient time to meet and leave the playing time in your plans. That gives you flexibility to build a shared walk into your visit to the city.
