    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 will you see on the puzzle route?

Secrets of Bonn starts on the Markt and leads past Altes Rathaus with puzzles and photo tasks. Along the route you also see Beethoven-Haus, Wenzelgasse/Brüdergasse and Alter Zoll / Rhine promenade. You follow the game in the free Loquiz app on your own phone. If you are comparing things to do in Bonn, this offers the puzzle-led theme among the three games. Keep everyone following the information and look around as you go, so the surroundings stay part of your outing. Your team can work on the activity together while the route gives your walk a city setting rather than keeping the whole group focused only on the screen.

Where does the murder case take you?

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Bonn runs from Münsterplatz past Altes Rathaus towards Kaiserplatz. Remigiusplatz, Beethoven-Denkmal and Sterntor Bonn Innenstadt also feature along the route. You investigate through the free Loquiz app on one shared phone, with at most four players in a team. Friends, colleagues or a couple can compare what they think the information suggests while walking. Give everyone time to follow the story before choosing an interpretation. You guide yourselves and choose the pace, keeping the mystery a shared conversation rather than something only the phone holder is following. The city’s places supply the surroundings as your group works through the case together on foot.
