In City Conquest the centre of Maastricht becomes a game board for your whole group: at least two teams race to conquer zones, and other teams can win them back. On the way you pass places like Stadhuis Maastricht, Jan Pieter Minckeleers, and Museum van illusies. When time is up, the team with the most points wins; with equal points, the team with the most ducats wins.

How to play
1Explore
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 
.
2Conquer
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 
.
3Defend 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 
.
4Final 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.
20 factions
Every zone has a field that fits the place: knowledge at a library, creativity at a museum, charm on a market square, speed on a bridge or quay, power at a fortress or tower. The stronger your faction is in a zone's field, the more points that zone is worth to you, so every faction has its own zones to go for.

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.
Speed potionWait times and zone locks halved for 10 minutes.
Wisdom potionRemoves one wrong answer from your next multiple-choice question.
Strength potionYour next conquest scores double.
ShieldBlocks the next attack on your team (20 seconds to react).
MirrorSends the next attack straight back to the team that left it.
AntidoteEnds fog, a trap or a curse at once.
ScoutShows other teams' drops within 100 m for 2 minutes; walk to one to defuse it.- BombLeave it on the street: the team that walks into it loses 25 points.
TrapLeave it on the street: 3 minutes no conquering and no answering.
FogLeave it on the street: for 4 minutes their map shows only 100 m around them.
CurseLeave it on the street: on their next 2 questions a wrong answer costs double.
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.
€19.95 per team
Book and payOften chosen by companiesWith 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
Book and payThe 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.
What is City Conquest in Maastricht?
City Conquest is a game in which teams in Maastricht capture zones on the map and play for the highest score. Every team first picks a faction: a group with its own story, its own strengths and its own characters.
During the game, your team walks to a zone and solves the task there to make it yours. Other teams can win the zone back, so you stay on your toes. You decide together whether to press on to the next zone or protect what you have. When the playing time ends, the team with the most points wins.
Which sights of Maastricht are on the game board?
This city game uses the streets and sights on our routes through Maastricht as its board. You cross the Vrijthof, pass the Basiliek van Sint Servaas and walk down the Platielstraat.
The Gouvernement aan de Maas, the Augustijnenkerk, the Stokstraat, the Sint Servaasbrug and Museumkelder Derlon are also part of the playing area, as is the Bonnefanten museum. With zones spread across the centre, there is always a choice of where to go next and which team to challenge. You see a lot of Maastricht while your team makes its plans.
How does the group game in Maastricht begin?
The group game in Maastricht begins when the organiser, the person who makes the main booking, starts it. On the game master page, the organiser chooses the default language and the playing time, then launches the game for all teams at once.
There is no mode in which teams start on their own. Each player can still pick and switch the language on their own phone. So a group game Maastricht fits a company outing with international colleagues, a group of friends or a family day out.
Which games can you book in Maastricht today?
You can book three other games in Maastricht today. Secrets of Maastricht is an exploration game from the Vrijthof past Saint Servatius, the Stokstraat and the Helpoort, with puzzles as you go. It runs in the browser on your own phone, no app needed.
Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Maastricht takes you from the City Hall to the Vrijthof and down to the Helpoort. In The Maastricht Syndicate (outdoor escape game) you follow Magnus and the stolen formulas from the Vrijthof to the Sint Servaasbrug. These two run in the free Loquiz app. All three take 1.5 to 2 hours and cost €19.95 per team.
Do we need a game master?
No. Without a game master you play completely on your own: the person who booked opens the organiser page once, picks the default language and play time and starts the game for all teams; after that everything runs by itself on every phone. A game master (€199.00 incl. 5 teams) is optional, for someone who wants to follow and steer the game live.
Can teams start the game themselves?
You do not need a game master for that: the person who booked starts the game once for all teams on the organiser page, so every team plays the same time. After that everything runs by itself on every phone. A game master is optional, for someone who wants to follow and steer the game live.
Who wins City Conquest?
When time is up, the team with the most points wins; with equal points, the team with the most ducats wins.
How many teams do you need for City Conquest?
At least 2 teams of 1 to 4 players. Each team plays on its own phone.
Who chooses the language?
The organiser sets a default language, and each player can pick and switch the language on their own phone.
