Secrets of Breda Self-Guided Scavenger Hunt & Walking Tour

Breda is a city of squares, water and old defensive corners, and this scavenger hunt strings them together. You start at the Grote Kerk on the Grote Markt, and the route heads towards the Castle of Breda and on to the Spanjaardsgat where the harbour meets the old town. Every stop hands your team a task and, once it is solved, something to know about the place. It is a self-guided walking tour through Breda that you play at your own pace.

One phone carries a team of up to four players, so the game works for families, groups of friends and colleagues, and equally well for one person walking alone. If you are with more people, form several teams and set off from the same square. Nothing is guided and there is no fixed departure, so you can look around the Grote Markt before your team opens the first task.

How to play

Getting under way in Breda is a matter of minutes.

1. Book the Exploration Game
2. Check the instructions email
3. Download the Loquiz app
4. Start playing whenever you like

You solve riddles, answer questions that send you searching a wall or a doorway for the answer, and complete photo tasks with your team in the picture. Later the route reaches the Begijnhof and the quiet lanes behind it, and the questions there deal with how people lived in this part of town. Points come in with each correct answer, along with clues that count towards the final puzzle.

Play as two or more teams and the leaderboard turns the outing into a competition, which is why the game is often booked for team building. You can break off for a drink at the harbour and pick the route up again afterwards, ending your walk through Breda whenever you like.
