How to play

  1. 1

    Explore

    Walk through the real city. The map shows every zone: free, taken by a team in its colour, or locked for a few minutes. The game starts at .

  2. 2

    Conquer

    Step into a zone and open its task: a puzzle, a riddle, something to count or a code to crack on the spot, now and then a photo. Get it right and the zone takes your colour , and you earn 30 ducats .

  3. 3

    Defend and take back

    Other teams can take your zones once the lock is over, and you can take theirs. A zone stays with the team that conquers it. The first team at a bonus spot gets a power-up in its backpack .

  4. 4

    Final count

    When the time is up, the team with the most points wins; with equal points, the most ducats . Be at the meeting point in time: the herald calls everyone together.

Every zone has ten tasks about what you can really find there. Each team gets a different one, and a new one every time it comes back, so answers can't be passed on.

Ducats, chests and drops

Chests

Every 20 minutes the herald hides chests in the streets. The first team within 30 m opens one: ducats , a potion, a defence or something to leave for others.

The merchant

You start with 50 ducats and earn more by conquering, holding zones and approved photos. Spend them at the merchant : you can buy anywhere, and at his spot you get 20% off.

Drops and fog

Leave a bomb, trap, fog, curse or sabotage on the street . Only your team sees it; the team that walks into it is hit. Fog hides their map beyond 100 m. A scout shows drops near you : walk to one to defuse it.

  • SabotageLeave it on the street: steals one thing from their backpack (or 30 ducats).

Two ways to play

Without a game master

You play on your own. The organiser opens the game master page, chooses the default language and the playing time, and starts the game. From then on everything runs by itself on every phone: the zones, the chests, the merchant and the final count.

Often chosen by companies

With a game master

Someone leads the game from the game master page: follows every team live with its points and zones, sends messages to all teams, adds 15 minutes or stops the game, gives a team a power-up or puts a chest right next to it, and looks at the photos. The game master never sees the answers.

€199.00 including 5 teams, €19.95 per extra team

The organiser sets up the game on the game master page (the default language and the playing time) and starts it for all teams.

Every player can pick and switch the language on their own phone.

What the game master sees

Live, on a laptop or tablet: where every team is, who holds which zone, and each team's points, ducats and items. From here the game master gives or takes points, sends a message to one team or to all teams, adds 15 minutes or pauses the game.

How does City Conquest play?

City Conquest is a team game in Bunschoten Spakenburg where you conquer zones by solving their tasks, and the highest score when time is up wins.

The map shows the zones. Get to one, solve its task and it counts for your team. A rival team can solve the same task and take the zone over, so nothing is settled until the very end. You decide as a team whether to defend or push on. Your faction, with its own story and strengths, gives your team a role to play. It is a fun choice for friends, families and colleagues.

What is the organiser's job?

The organiser, the main booker, sets up City Conquest on the game master page and starts it for all teams at the same moment.

The organiser picks the default language and the playing time on that page. Nobody can start the game without the organiser, so all teams have the same time to score. During the game every player can pick and switch the language on their own phone, which helps when not everyone in your group speaks Dutch.

Which sights shape the game board?

The streets of Bunschoten Spakenburg and the sights on our routes are your board. Teams may pass the Spakenburg Harbour, the Vrouw Spakenburgse Klederdracht statue, Het Kleine Zeetje or the Historische Visafslag while chasing zones.

Around the old harbours, this group game in Bunschoten Spakenburg keeps teams moving and watching each other. Spot a rival heading for your zone and you will need to decide quickly whether to chase them.
