About this activity
A self-guided GPS-based exploration game that transforms Wijk bij Duurstede into an interactive puzzle hunt across its historic centre. Solve riddles, complete photo tasks, and uncover local secrets—many unknown even to residents—while learning the city's history and culture at your own pace.
Secrets of Wijk bij Duurstede is a self-guided walking tour that begins on the Markt in the middle of town. From there the route passes De Grote Kerk, De Veldpoort and Museum Dorestad, with a puzzle waiting at each of them. Solving it brings up a short explanation of the place, so the walk doubles as an introduction to the town. Along the way it plays like a scavenger hunt through Wijk bij Duurstede, with something to find at every stop.
Families, couples, friends and work groups all play it the same way. Up to four people form a team on one phone, and a larger party divides into teams that can compare scores at the end. On your own it works just as well. Nothing starts at a fixed hour and no guide is involved, so the day stays yours to plan.
How to play
Getting into the game in Wijk bij Duurstede takes four steps.
- Book the Exploration Game
- Check the instructions email
- Download the Loquiz app
- Start playing whenever you like
The tasks are a mix of riddles, questions and photographs of things you would normally miss: a carved stone, an old gate, a name above a door. Near the Klooster Leuterstraat the game explains what the buildings along this street were once for. It keeps to the kind of detail you can check with your own eyes while standing there.
More than one team makes it a competition, with points for solved tasks and a leaderboard that decides the winner, which is why groups from work book it as an outing. Since there is no time pressure, you can stop, sit down and continue later. That flexibility makes Wijk bij Duurstede an easy place to explore this way.
