About this activity
Navigate Duisburg's streets on a self-guided escape game mission to catch the criminal Magnus and recover stolen formulas. Using just your smartphone and the Loquiz app, you'll solve puzzles, decode riddles, and complete photo challenges at your own pace over 2 hours.
Duisburg opens this one on the Alter Markt, a few steps from the Burgplatz. The route pulls north towards the surviving stretch of the Historische Stadtmauer Duisburg and then back through the streets between the market and the water. Played entirely outdoors, it runs as a city escape game rather than a walk with commentary.
The centre here is compact enough to cover on foot without a plan, and the ground barely rises, so it suits families, groups of friends and colleagues equally. Two to five players form a team and share one phone; each of them is given a character with a role in the mission, and the puzzles are built so that no single person can finish them alone. Bigger parties break into more teams. There is no guide and no set start, so you choose the hour.
How to play
Four steps stand between arriving and the first puzzle.
- Book the City Game
- Check the instructions email
- Download the Loquiz app
- Start playing whenever you like
The story turns on Magnus, who disappeared with a set of stolen formulas and scattered the evidence across the district. Recovering it means reading codes, answering riddles and taking photographs on request, with each role opening a door the others cannot. Part of the search circles the Kultur- und Stadthistorisches Museum Duisburg.
Send two or more teams out at once and the whole thing becomes a contest, which is what makes it a workable team building escape game. Breaks are allowed: shut the app, sit down somewhere and carry on when you are ready. It finishes back among the old streets of Duisburg.
