Secrets of Darmstadt Self-Guided Scavenger Hunt & Walking Tour

About this activity

This walking tours is one of the standout things to do in Darmstadt, Germany. it combines the highlights below into a single, easy-to-book experience from €20 per person. <p>Secrets of Darmstadt opens on the Marktplatz beside the Marktbrunnen and becomes a self-guided walking tour of the centre. From the square the route reaches the Residenzschloss, crosses towards Luisenplatz and passes the Hessisches Landesmuseum. Each of those stops sets a question you can only answer by looking properly. Along the way it plays like a scavenger hunt through Darmstadt, with something to find at every stop.</p><p><br /></p><p>The game works for friends, couples, families and colleagues who enjoy walking with something to solve. One ticket covers a team of one to four people on a single phone; larger groups split into teams and buy a ticket each. You can also play alone. No guide comes along and no start time is fixed, so a slow lap through Darmstadt is entirely acceptable.</p><p><br /></p><h3>How to play</h3><p>Beginning your walk through Darmstadt is straightforward:</p><ol><li>Book the Exploration Game</li><li>Check the instructions email</li><li>Download the Loquiz app</li><li>Start playing whenever you like</li></ol><p><br /></p><p>The tasks mix riddles with counting puzzles and photo assignments that only make sense on the spot.
