About this activity
Gorinchem's Secrets of Exploration Game is a GPS-powered self-guided quest that transforms the historic city centre into an interactive puzzle hunt. Using just your smartphone, you'll solve riddles and photo challenges while uncovering hidden local history and lesser-known facts about the medieval riverside town.
Secrets of Gorinchem is a self-guided walking tour through the fortified centre, arranged as a series of puzzles. You start on the Grote Markt beside 't Oude Stadthuys and continue towards the Sint-Janstoren and the Hugo de Grootpoortje. Each stop gives you something to solve and then explains what the place is. Along the way it plays like a scavenger hunt through Gorinchem, with something to find at every stop.
It suits couples, families, friends and work groups who like walking with a purpose. One team of up to four people plays on a single phone; a bigger party makes two or three teams. Solo play works as well. Since no guide is involved and nothing starts at a fixed time, you can head out whenever the day allows.
How to play
Four steps and the route through Gorinchem is open.
- Book the Exploration Game
- Check the instructions email
- Download the Loquiz app
- Start playing whenever you like
Riddles, questions and photo tasks keep you looking at gates, quays and gables that are easy to miss. Around the Visbrug and the Wilhelmina Fountain the game explains how the town used its water and its walls. The information comes in short pieces, always about the place you are standing in.
With more than one team it turns into a competition, with points for solved tasks and a leaderboard at the finish, which is why it also works as a team activity. There is no clock running, so you can break and resume as you like. It is a practical way to see the older parts of Gorinchem.
