About this activity
An interactive GPS-guided exploration game that transforms Hanoi's historic centre into a puzzle-solving adventure. Navigate hidden corners, decode riddles, and complete photo tasks to uncover lesser-known facts about the city's history, culture, and notable figures—playable entirely from your phone with no guide needed.
Secrets of Hanoi opens on Dong Kinh Nghia Thuc Square and turns the old quarter into a self-guided walking tour. The route takes in the Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre nearby and reaches St. Joseph's Cathedral further in. Each stop comes with a short piece about the place you are standing in. Along the way it plays like a scavenger hunt through Hanoi, with something to find at every stop.
The game is built for couples, families, groups of friends and colleagues, and it is easy enough to play alone. A single ticket covers a team of one to four on one phone, and a bigger party buys additional tickets and walks as separate teams. There is no guide ahead of you and no fixed start, so the morning or evening in Hanoi is yours to arrange.
How to play
Once you reach the square the game runs from your own phone.

- Download the Loquiz app
- Start playing whenever you like
Between the stops you work through puzzles, riddles and photo tasks that choose the next part of the route. Some want a careful look at a gate or a sign, others a photograph from a set position. King Lê Thái Tổ's Temple is one of the points on the way, and the game tells you what you have arrived at.
With several teams out at the same time it becomes a competition, and the scores gather on one leaderboard, which is why it is used for team-building. Break off for a drink and continue when you are ready. You finish with a much better feel for central Hanoi.
