City Conquest

City Conquest is a city game where teams fight for zones on a shared map. Before you start, each team picks a faction: a group with its own story, strengths and characters. It gives your team a role and a reason to want every zone.

Once the game runs, you walk to a zone, solve the task and claim it. Another team can arrive later and win it back. Together you decide your plan: chase new zones or return to defend. When the playing time ends, the score decides.

The board is made of Amsterdam's streets and the sights on our routes. A zone might send you to Dam Square, across the Torensluis, along the Herengracht or to the Leliesluis near the Bloemgracht.

Because the zones sit between real places, the game is also a walk through the canal ring. You see the city while you play, and the map keeps shifting as teams gain and lose ground. Short distances between zones mean you will often spot a rival team.

The organiser, the main booker, sets up City Conquest on the game master page. They choose the default language and the playing time, then start the game for all teams at once. There is no other way to start it.

Every player can pick and switch the language on their own phone, so locals, expats and visitors play together easily. It works for team outings, school trips, birthdays and big groups of friends.

If you want to play now, pick one of our other games. On the photography tour of Amsterdam you photograph the canal ring, from Dam Square past the Torensluis to the Herengracht. Ghost Hunters in Amsterdam sends your team out as ghost hunters, and A Christmas Carol in Amsterdam brings Dickens' Christmas story to the streets.

Each game takes 1.5–2 hours and costs €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players. Depending on the version, you play in the free Loquiz app or in the browser on your own phone.
