CJP Culture Card

A team from CJP took on our city game right in the heart of Amsterdam. In their Reel they said with excitement: “We at CJP set out to play the best city game in the Netherlands.” As they explored the city, they uncovered surprising details and hidden corners, solving clues step by step along the way. You can watch their full experience here on Instagram.

Toeristeninformatie Nederland

The Dutch travel platform Toeristeninformatie Nederland has named Qugato one of the top city game providers in the country. They note that our games offer “a broad and unconventional view of the city”, perfect for anyone wanting to explore beyond the usual tourist sights. Thanks to our interactive scavenger hunts, you’ll uncover hidden gems and see the city from an entirely new perspective.

Vakantieland Nederland

In an article about city games, Vakantieland Nederland aptly describes our approach: “Qugato takes the idea of an interactive scavenger hunt to the next level by combining technology, storytelling and local culture.” That is exactly what our city games are about: heading out together, solving puzzles, and discovering hidden stories and remarkable places across the city along the way.

Hip & Hot

Judith van Wijk from the lifestyle blog Hip & Hot tried out our city game in The Hague. She played ‘City Detective’ with her family and combined the game with a visit to the Royal Christmas Fair. Rain and hail didn’t stop them from enjoying the game: “Despite the cold, with an occasional warm drink in between, it was a really fun activity!” So, even under less-than-ideal weather conditions, our city games provide a fantastic experience!

Reischeck

In their blog about days out in Zwolle, Reischeck praised our City Detective game. They emphasised that it’s not only exciting, but also a perfect choice for families with children: “Kids absolutely love feeling like real detectives, if only for a little while,” wrote Reischeck.

De Vakantiewinkel

Travel blog De Vakantiewinkel tried our city game in their own city. In their review, they wrote: “Even in a city I thought I knew well, we came across places I had never been before. Narrow alleys, hidden courtyards and unique facades that I would normally walk straight past suddenly became little discoveries.” Read the full review on DeVakantiewinkel.nl.

Assen Stad

Assen Stad reported extensively on the launch of City Detective Assen. They noted that the city game is not just thrilling and educational, but also guides players past both well-known landmarks and hidden corners of the city, including the Drents Museum, the Vaart and the Asserbos. “The game offers not only excitement and adventure, but also fascinating facts about the city and its history,” wrote Assen Stad.

Het was verassend leuk en leerzaam. Ik woon mijn hele leven al in Eindhoven maar je leert je stad nu veel beter kennen.
Echt een aanrader.

Leuk spel waardoor je de stad / plaats beter leert kennen. Niet bedoeld om de spelfanaten aan hun trekken te laten komen, maar wel bedoeld om spelenderwijs mooie, leuke, wetenswaardige plekken van de locatie te zien.
Heel leuk gedaan!

Heel leuk om te doen, en goede manier om de stad te leren kennen op een andere manier. We waren allemaal al regelmatig in Utrecht geweest maar hebben toch nieuwe dingen gezien
Het verhaaltje is wel vrij suf eerlijk gezegd

Hele leuke manier om een stad op een andere manier te ervaren/bekijken. Is ‘s Hertogenbosch ook zeker de moeite waard. Leuk opgezet, denk ook voor iedereen te doen qua vragen. Wij gingen opzoek naar de dief van het recept “de Bossche bol” natuurlijk dan ook eentje genuttigd onderweg 😉

Tips voor de ontwikkelaars: Jammer dat je geen account kan aanmaken, namelijk leuk als je ook van plan bent andere steden aan te doen. En een andere tip: zou gaaf zijn als je aangesproken wordt in de app met je teamnaam, dan wordt het net wat echter. Maar weet niet of dit mogelijk is.

We hebben het spel in Alkmaar gespeeld. Het was ontzettend leuk. Gebruiksvriendelijke app, leuke opdrachten en zo spelenderwijs de mooiste plekjes van een stad zien. We gaan het zeker nogeens spelen in een andere stad.
