Secrets of Harderwijk Self-Guided Scavenger Hunt & Walking Tour

Secrets of Harderwijk starts on the Markt and turns the old fishing town into a self-guided walking tour. A short walk takes you to the Grote Kerk, on to the Vischpoort and along the surviving stretch of the Oude Stadsmuur. The game asks you to look at those places closely and then tells you what you were looking at. Along the way it plays like a scavenger hunt through Harderwijk, with something to find at every stop.

It works for friends, couples, families and colleagues who like puzzling on the move. One ticket covers a team of one to four people playing on one phone, so larger groups form several teams and buy a ticket each. Solo play is fine. Nobody guides you and no start time is fixed, which leaves room to stop by the harbour whenever the Harderwijk light is right.

How to play

Getting started in Harderwijk takes a couple of minutes:

1. Book the Exploration Game
2. Check the instructions email
3. Download the Loquiz app
4. Start playing whenever you like

Along the route you solve riddles, answer observation questions and set up photo tasks that only make sense on location. Near the Linnaeustuin, the Vismarktpoort and Molen De Hoop the game supplies facts and stories about the town wall, the old university years and the fishing trade that shaped these streets.

With more than one team in the field the walk becomes a competition: answers earn points and the leaderboard shows the standings. It is a practical format for a team outing and just as good for an afternoon with friends. Pause when you want and continue later, finishing back among the small streets of Harderwijk.
