About this activity

This walking tours is one of the standout things to do in Leuven, Belgium. it combines the highlights below into a single, easy-to-book experience from €20 per person. <p>Secrets of Leuven is a self-guided walking tour that turns the city centre into a trail of puzzles. You start on the Grote Markt and from there the game leads you through the surrounding streets and squares. Each stop asks you to work something out before it tells you what you are looking at. Along the way it plays like a scavenger hunt through Leuven, with something to find at every stop.</p><p><br /></p><p>Students, families, visiting friends and colleagues on an away day all play it the same way. A team of up to four shares one phone, so a big group divides into several teams walking the same route. Playing on your own is fine. Since no guide is involved and no time is fixed, you can fit it around the rest of your day in Leuven.</p><p><br /></p><h3>How to play</h3><p>Getting on the trail in Leuven takes four steps.</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>The route mixes riddles, questions and photo tasks that push you to look up at facades, courtyards and corners you would otherwise walk straight past.
