    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 does the detective option involve?

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Giethoorn is a self-guided fictional investigation through the village. Museum De Oude Aarde and Museum 't Olde Maat Uus are among its listed route points. You follow the case on your own phone using the free Loquiz app, with a playing time of 1.5 to 2 hours. Choose this experience when discussing a detective case appeals more than puzzles and photo tasks. It gives your group another reason to explore together, with its own route to follow. Plan any independent museum visits around the walking activity rather than treating the game as an interior museum tour.

How can you organise the outing together?

Each Giethoorn game costs €19.95 per team for at most 4 players using one phone. Both options use Loquiz here, so choose the activity and route your companions prefer before beginning. You can start whenever you want, every day, and your game stays valid for 12 months. Make space in your plans for the full playing time so the group can follow the activity together. Friends, couples, families and colleagues can all use the shared phone format. Hearing the task together and discussing possible answers helps everyone stay involved, even when only one person carries the device as you walk through Giethoorn.
