1 / 6Secrets of Scheveningen Self-Guided Scavenger Hunt & Walking Tour
About this activity
Explore Scheveningen's hidden corners and rich history through an interactive, GPS-guided exploration game on your smartphone. Solve puzzles, riddles, and photo challenges to unlock local secrets while discovering stories and facts unknown even to long-time residents.
Secrets of Scheveningen is a self-guided walking tour between the seafront and the streets behind it. You start on the Pellenaerstraat and the route takes in the Kurhaus, the Circustheater and the Lourdeskerk. At every stop there is a task first, and the explanation follows once you have solved it. Along the way it plays like a scavenger hunt through Scheveningen, with something to find at every stop.
Families, couples, groups of friends and colleagues all play the same route. Up to four people share one phone as a team, and larger groups split into teams that compare scores afterwards. Playing alone is fine. Nothing starts at a set hour and no guide comes along, so you can choose a quiet morning or a busy summer afternoon.
How to play
Getting started in Scheveningen takes four steps.
- Book the Exploration Game
- Check the instructions email
- Download the Loquiz app
- Start playing whenever you like
The game mixes riddles, questions and photo tasks that send you looking at facades, promenades and details along the boulevard. Near Muzee Scheveningen and the Pavilioen de Witte it explains what the seaside resort was built for and how the old fishing village and the beach district grew together. You end up with more context than a walk along the pier gives you.
Several teams at once make it a contest, with points for each task and a leaderboard that decides the winner, and that competitive side is why it is booked for team outings. There is no time limit, so you can stop on the beach and continue later. It is an easy way to cover the district on foot.
