This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Strasbourg on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time. • Wander the Quartier de la Petite France and its tanners' houses • Crane your neck on Place de la Cathédrale before the pink giant • Step into the Église Saint-Thomas, the 'Protestant cathedral' Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app. Around 2 hours - any group size. Grande île, grand game.

4Really Enjoyed
The information given was very interesting and we had a lot of fun. The map feature makes finding everything nice and easy. Depending on how fast you walk and long you want to spend at each stop, you definitely complete the scavenger hunt in less than 2hrs.
5For us was better than a guided tour
We had a ton of fun with this game / city tour. Would recommend it.
5Excellent family activity
This is perfect for families, our 11yr old took control of the phone/app and directed us everywhere and read out all the info and tasks. Especially helpful that you can stop and restart, which we did a day later. Will be doing these across Europe for our whole trip!
5Easy and relaxing! Can recommend.
Fun way to walk around the city and see some things. The competitive single person questions are cute and I can definitely see the team aspects work even better with larger groups, families (old vs young) or two or more couples. Did this with my girlfriend; it was laid back and a good way to spend 2 hours.
2Text tour / NOT audio. You read the info.
The route worked for me, however, I was looking for an audio tour. This did not have audio, so after being guided to a site by following a bubble on the app, you read a brief synopsis and then have a few questions. Since they require you to buy a minimum of 2 players, the cost was higher than other options. Related to the cost, I was hoping for audio so I wouldn’t just be reading off the phone. I was less interested in the game and more interested in the sites and history so I paid for 2, but regret not going with a cheaper option.
5We had a hard time...
We had a hard time finding available free tours in the city, and this app saved the day! The competition with the scavenger hunt was fun, and we had good laughs at some of the weird trivia.
