    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.

These reviews were left by players on Google and other review sites and are copied from there as they are, with their source.

What connects the square to the walking route?

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Birmingham leads from Victoria Square past the Town Hall towards St Philip's Cathedral. These places give the detective walk a route through central Birmingham. The square is part of your exploration, with the case providing a reason to continue on foot together.

Pause to notice the surroundings before reading the next question. That keeps the real place in the experience instead of letting the screen take all your attention. You can combine an interest in seeing the centre with a group activity, switching between looking around and working out what your team wants to answer.

What does the group actually do?

Your team solves riddles and photo tasks using one phone in the free Loquiz app. Share each challenge so that everyone can follow the investigation, then compare possible answers. The walk is self-guided, and you play with the people you choose to bring.

Friends may enjoy arguing out an interpretation, while a couple can take time to think through it together. Colleagues can also use the game as a shared activity away from their normal routine. Try letting different people read the instructions. It helps the conversation move around the group while you move between the city's sights.

The Birmingham game is €19.95 per team for one phone and at most 4 players. Allow 1.5 to 2 hours for the walking mystery, then plan any additional sightseeing separately. Choose the shared phone before starting so you can concentrate on the case once the outing begins.
