You tap start on your phone at the edge of the Grote Markt and the city rearranges itself into a playground of clues. Cobbled streets point you toward the Martini Tower, canals nudge you down quieter alleys, and bicycles hum past as each riddle pulls you to another landmark.
Groningen’s compact medieval center—shaped by Hanseatic trade and the later rise of a lively university—rewards curious feet. The flat, reclaimed peatlands beneath the streets give way to brick gables and a mix of 19th‑ and 20th‑century modernisms, from the old city walls to the glass angles of the Groninger Museum. Culture here is young and civic: cafés spill onto squares, student-run shops line narrow lanes, and small public gardens offer an unexpected pause.
The e‑Scavenger Hunt runs on a smartphone app that guides groups of 2–6 through roughly two hours of puzzles and search tasks. No fixed start time; you begin, pause, or stop when it suits you. The route is wheelchair- and stroller-accessible and suitable for all fitness levels, but wear comfortable shoes and keep a charged phone.
Practical tips: plan a midday start to combine the trail with a market visit; download the app and language pack in advance; allow extra time for cafés or detours to the Noorderplantsoen. For families, the mixed question types keep younger players engaged without slowing the whole group. This is an easy, low‑impact way to explore Groningen’s streets at your own pace.
After booking you receive an email with instructions and a link to the web app; open it at the starting point and begin when ready.
