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 does the Dresden detective route include?
Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Dresden takes you from the Frauenkirche along Brühl’s Terrace towards the Zwinger. Kathedrale Sanctissimae Trinitatis and Dresden Transport Museum also appear among its route sights. That combination gives the case a city setting: you are following an investigation while moving through Dresden on foot. If you are weighing up things to do in Dresden, consider whether your group would enjoy having a story to keep discussing along the way. Look around between reading the game information, and let the places on the route remain part of the outing rather than keeping your attention entirely on the phone.

What can a team of friends or colleagues do?
The Dresden game lets at most four players investigate together on one phone. You have a common case to follow, so the person carrying the phone can share the information before everyone offers a view. You might agree immediately or see the same detail differently; use that discussion as part of your time together. A couple can approach the walk as a joint investigation, while friends or colleagues can bring several perspectives. The route is self-guided and you choose your own pace. Keep everyone following the story so that walking, looking around and considering the mystery stay connected throughout the outing.
What do you need to arrange for the walk?
Allow around 1.5 to 2 hours for the Dresden game, which uses the free Loquiz app. Its price is €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players. You can start whenever you want, every day, and validity lasts 12 months. These details help you fit the case among other things to do in Dresden. Agree on a shared phone and make room for the whole walk in your plans. Your group decides when the investigation belongs in its day. Once you begin, the story gives your outing a continuing activity while you explore the city together at your own pace.
