Get to know Hamburg at your own pace on this interactive walking tour on your phone. Decipher riddles, interact with the city's top sights, and unlock facts and stories. An ideal outdoor activity for first time visitors, couples, groups, families, and children, or a great team-building activity.

After downloading the scavenger hunt tour on your mobile device (via a link and login credentials received upon booking), use the mobile app and integrated maps to reach 10 of Hamburg’s most important attractions on foot.

At each stop, learn about the attraction and solve a location-based riddle that can only be solved if you reach the specific location. Use logic, imagination, observation, and team spirit to unlock the correct code and reveal the next destination of the city sightseeing game.

Start your tour at the imposing Hamburg Rathaus in the center of the city. Visit St. Petri, with its unique high tower, and explore the Chilehaus with its unique red beauty. Take a photo of St. Nicholas' Church and let yourself get lost in the historic St. Katharinen, one of Hamburg's oldest churches.

Learn about Hamburg's history with the sea through the International Maritime Museum. Admire the Speicherstadt Museum which will teach you about the history of trade. See, walk, and learn about the "carpet" made by artist Frank Raendchen, while the Hohe Brücke will be the icing on the cake of this unique tour.

At each stop, learn about the attraction and solve a location-based riddle that can only be solved if you reach the specific location. Use logic, imagination, observation, and team spirit to unlock the correct code and reveal the next destination of the tour.

As you walk through the city, enjoy the flexibility to pause your game at any time to take a break, snap the perfect photos, stop for lunch, or visit a museum. Choose to continue the tour later or save the rest for another day.

The scavenger hunt was great. You saw a lot of the city. The 544 steps of the church ⛪️ were worth climbing for the great photos. The conclusion with a city tour was modest, because no bus wanted to take us. (Except for blue) Then we took the blue line and were supposed to pay full price afterwards. I felt pretty stupid then. But unfortunately it is not described where the city tour starts and which bus you can take.
