    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 can you enjoy at the Galata Tower stop?

Galata Tower is a tower in Istanbul that you can see during the featured detective walk. Its shape gives your group an architectural focus different from the streets and individual buildings elsewhere along the route. Pause to look at the exterior together before returning to the activity on your phone. Different companions may notice different details, giving everyone a way to contribute to the sightseeing too. The game connects real places through a shared story. If you want a separate tower visit, arrange it independently and leave additional time around the walking activity. Your group decides when it is ready to continue.

Which detective activity passes the tower?

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Istanbul passes Galata Tower during a self-guided investigation on foot. Along the route you see the tower, Binbirdirek and Süleymaniye. The story gives your companions a case to discuss while the actual city provides changing surroundings between moments of play. Choose this activity if your group enjoys putting ideas together around an investigation rather than only following a sequence of sightseeing stops. One person can read from the shared phone while everyone contributes to the discussion. You control the pace, so a pause to look at the tower can have its own place within the wider walk.

What should your team prepare for the case?

The detective game costs €19.95 per team, lasts 1.5 to 2 hours and uses the free Loquiz app on your own phone. At most 4 players share one phone per team, so agree on the device before beginning. Friends, couples or colleagues can compare different ideas as they walk, with everyone taking part even when one person handles the screen. You can start whenever you want, every day, and the game remains valid for 12 months. Add time separately for any other Istanbul visits you plan, keeping the self-guided activity one flexible part of the day you arrange with your companions.
