    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 puzzle route include?

Secrets of Leeuwarden runs from Waagplein past Oldehove Tower and Blokhuispoort with puzzles to solve. You follow the self-guided exploration game in your phone’s browser without an app. If you are comparing things to do in Leeuwarden, this offers the puzzle-led theme of the three options. Keep everyone following the information and look around as you move, connecting the activity to the surroundings rather than leaving all attention on the screen. Your group can work on the game together while the route supplies the city setting for the outing. You guide yourselves and choose the pace, so the walk and the puzzles stay part of the same shared exploration on foot.

Where does the detective investigation go?

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Leeuwarden takes you from De Waag on Waagplein towards Oldehove and Fries Museum. Stadhuis Leeuwarden and Blokhuispoort also feature along the route. You investigate with the free Loquiz app, sharing one phone between at most four players. Friends, colleagues or your partner can bring different interpretations to the information while walking. Let everyone understand the story before your team chooses an explanation. You guide yourselves and choose the pace, keeping the case a conversation throughout the outing rather than something only the screen’s holder follows.
