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.

Where does the Bern investigation unfold?

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Bern runs from the Bundeshaus past the Zytglogge towards Münsterplatz and the old town. The route also includes Heiliggeistkirche von Bern, Erlacherhof and Kindlifresserbrunnen. You follow the case on your own phone, with those places forming the surroundings of your detective outing. Among things to do in Bern, this gives the group a continuing activity as it walks. Keep everyone following the information and take in the city around you as you go, so the investigation remains connected to the route rather than keeping all attention on the screen throughout the outing together on foot.

How do you investigate on one phone?

The Bern detective game allows at most four players to form one team on a shared phone. Each person can follow the information and offer an explanation of what it suggests. Friends and colleagues can bring different ideas, while a couple can make it a joint case during the walk. Give everyone time to understand the story before your group settles on an interpretation. You guide yourselves and choose your own pace on foot. Sharing the case throughout the outing keeps the phone a tool for everyone, with the mystery becoming a conversation as the team explores Bern and follows the route together.
