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 botanical garden in a city outing?
Hortus Botanicus is a botanical garden by the Rapenburg in Leiden and is passed by Secrets and the Sherlock Holmes game. Its setting introduces a garden landmark to a walk through streets, canals and other city sights. Notice the garden’s place in the surrounding city before continuing your chosen activity. Playing a game gives your group a reason to explore together, with a shared objective between places. You can choose puzzles and photo tasks for a discovery outing, or follow a murder investigation if you enjoy discussing a case. The garden becomes one part of that wider walking experience through Leiden.

Which routes pass the Hortus?
Secrets of Leiden passes the Hortus while combining puzzles, photo tasks and stories about Pieterskerk, the canals and the university. You see Molen De Valk and later Engelse Poort along its route. Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Leiden also passes the botanical garden, following a case from Stadhuisplein towards the Burcht and Pieterskerk. Its sights include Burcht van Leiden, then the American Pilgrim Museum and National Museum of Ethnology.
