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 include the church in your city plans?
Der Aa-kerk is a church in Groningen and is included in the discovery, detective and Syndicate walks. It gives your group a building to recognise while exploring beyond the city’s squares. Look at the exterior in its surroundings before continuing your activity. A city game turns separate sightseeing moments into an outing with a common purpose. You may prefer puzzles as you explore, a murder case to discuss or a pursuit after stolen formulas through the streets. Choose the theme that interests everyone before setting off, then make the church one part of a wider walk that your companions share together.
Had great fun playing secrets of Haarlem!
How do the routes connect Der Aa-kerk with the centre?
Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Groningen leads from Grote Markt towards Der Aa-kerk. Along its route you see Prinsentuin before the church, then Forum Groningen and Grote Markt. The Groningen Syndicate (outdoor escape game) also heads from Grote Markt towards the church while you track Magnus and stolen formulas. You encounter the city hall, then Martinitoren, Martinikerkhof and Forum Groningen. Secrets of Groningen explores from Grote Markt past Der Aa-kerk with puzzles. Its route includes the Martini Tower before Prinsentuin, then Forum Groningen and Grote Markt. Compare the discovery theme with the two story-led walks when choosing your group’s activity through the city.
What do you need for a shared game?
