Secrets of Enschede Self-Guided Scavenger Hunt & Walking Tour

About this activity

This walking tours is one of the standout things to do in Enschede, Netherlands. it combines the highlights below into a single, easy-to-book experience from €20 per person. <p>Secrets of Enschede starts on the Oude Markt, the open square in the middle of town, and turns the surrounding streets into a self-guided walking tour. The route leads past the Grote Kerk and the St. Jacobuskerk, which stand across the square from one another, and on toward the Middeleeuwse Stadspoort. At every stop the game tells you something about the place you are standing in front of. Along the way it plays like a scavenger hunt through Enschede, with something to find at every stop.</p><p><br /></p><p>The game suits anyone who would rather look around a city than be talked through it: couples, families, colleagues and solo players. One ticket covers a team of one to four people sharing a single phone; larger parties split into several teams. No guide walks ahead of you and there is no fixed departure, so you decide when to set off through Enschede.</p><p><br /></p><h3>How to play</h3><p>Everything runs on your own phone from the moment you reach the Oude Markt.</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>Between the stops you work through puzzles, riddles and photo tasks that point you toward the next place on the route. Some ask you to look closely at a façade, others make you notice a detail you would otherwise walk straight past. The Kwetterende Ganzen sculpture is one of the points you are sent to, and the game explains what you are looking at rather than leaving you to guess.</p><p><br /></p><p>With two or more teams playing at the same time the walk turns into a contest, and the scores end up on a shared leaderboard, which is why companies book it as a team-building afternoon. Nothing runs out on you: stop for lunch and pick the game up again when you feel like it. By the end you will have covered a good part of central Enschede on foot.</p>
