About this activity
A GPS-guided exploration game that transforms Düsseldorf into an interactive puzzle hunt, combining urban sightseeing with riddles, photo challenges, and hidden-gem discoveries you won't find in standard guidebooks. Play solo or compete with friends using just your smartphone—no guide required.
Secrets of Dusseldorf opens on the Grabbeplatz beside the Kunstsammlung K20 and turns the old town into a self-guided walking tour. From there the route reaches the church of St. Andreas and the Basilika St. Lambertus closer to the river. Each of those stops comes with a short text about the building in front of you.
It is made for couples, families, groups of friends and colleagues, and works on your own as well. A single ticket covers a team of one to four sharing one phone, and larger parties buy more tickets and split into teams. There is no guide walking ahead and no fixed departure, so you pick your own moment to set off through Dusseldorf.
How to play
Once you stand on the Grabbeplatz the game runs from your phone and nothing else.
- Book the Exploration Game
- Check the instructions email
- Download the Loquiz app
- Start playing whenever you like
Between the points you get puzzles, riddles and photo tasks that steer the route onward. Some ask for a careful look at a doorway or a sign, others for a photograph taken from a set spot. The Hofgarten is one of the places the game sends you, and it tells you what you have found there.
Play with more than one team and it becomes a contest, with all the scores on one leaderboard afterwards, which is why it turns up as a team-building activity. You can stop for a while and go on later without any hurry. The walk ends with a good part of Dusseldorf behind you.
