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.

Which game brings you to the Waalse Kerk?
Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Haarlem includes Waalse Kerk Haarlem on its route. Other places you encounter include St Bavo, Bakenesserkerk and Teylers Museum, in that walking order. The investigation begins from Grote Markt and gives your city walk a detective focus, with clues to discuss as a group. Look at the church as part of the outdoor outing, arranging any visit inside separately. Your team follows the fictional case through real city locations, so the fun is in comparing ideas while exploring. Make sure everyone knows what the current prompt asks before choosing a response and continuing with the investigation together.

The Haarlem Syndicate (outdoor escape game) pursues Magnus and stolen formulas instead. It begins on Grote Markt beside Grote of Sint-Bavokerk, then includes Teylers Museum and Gravestenenbrug.

Each has its own premise, with your group’s shared decisions and observations adding to the experience of exploring the city on foot.
