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 church appear in Secrets?
Secrets of Manchester includes St. Mary’s Catholic Church, John Rylands Research Institute and Library, the Corporation and Market Street intersection and Manchester Cathedral along its route. Puzzles and photo tasks give your group shared activities between the real places you encounter. Notice the church respectfully during the walk and arrange any interior visit independently of the game. You can compare observations before considering what the current prompt asks. Sharing the information lets each companion suggest an answer or question an interpretation, keeping the discovery collaborative. The phone connects the challenges, but looking at the city remains part of the outing rather than simply moving behind one player’s screen throughout the route.

What detective adventure can you choose instead?
Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Manchester follows a fictional case from Albert Square towards the cathedral. Its route includes Manchester Town Hall, IWM North, Manchester Cathedral and John Rylands Library in that walking order. Choose this investigation if your companions enjoy discussing possible explanations more than taking on varied discovery tasks. Agree on which format interests everyone before selecting a game, then focus on that one adventure together. Real locations give the walk changing surroundings while the case supplies clues and decisions to consider. Each player can contribute an observation or possible answer, helping the team choose how to continue rather than leaving all the reasoning to the person holding the shared phone.
How do the phone options and team price compare?
Both games cost €19.95 per team, take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours and allow up to four players sharing one phone. Secrets runs in your own phone browser without an app; Sherlock Holmes uses the free Loquiz app. Flexible daily starts and 12 months of validity let you choose a suitable occasion. Leave space for the walk and the tasks in your plans, keeping separate visits outside the activity. During play, read prompts aloud or show the screen so every companion understands the current challenge. Comparing different interpretations can turn the next answer into a shared discussion, keeping all players involved as the adventure continues through the city together on foot.
