You've picked a city for a long weekend and you want more than a checklist of sights and a queue at the cathedral. You want to walk, notice small things and come home with stories that aren't the same as everyone else's. A GPS scavenger hunt you build yourself does that: you decide the route, the questions and the stops for coffee, and your travel companions follow the map on their phones. It takes 20 to 30 minutes to prepare and gives you an afternoon that belongs to your group alone.

How it gets used

First afternoon in a new city

You arrive at 2 pm and want to get oriented without a bus tour. A 10-point hunt around the old town shows you where the squares, bridges and tram stops are, so the rest of the weekend is easier to navigate.

Family trip with children aged 6 to 12

Parents place points near playgrounds, ice cream shops and a fountain or two, with a photo task at each. The kids lead the way with the phone, and a 2 km walk through the centre passes without complaints.

Friends' weekend for 6 to 12 people

One person prepares the hunt and the others walk it in teams of 3 or 4 on Saturday afternoon. Everyone meets at the same café at 5 pm to compare photos and settle who won.

Anniversary or birthday city trip

You build a route for your partner or a friend with stops that matter to them: a bookshop, a view, the restaurant where dinner is booked. The final point is the surprise, and the walk there takes about an hour.

Practical tips

Build the hunt at home the evening before you travel, while you still have wifi and time to check the map. On location you only have to press start.
Keep points 200 to 400 metres apart. Closer and the hunt is over in 20 minutes; further apart and the group starts checking the time.
Plan the route so that point 5 or 6 is near a café or bakery. A 15-minute break halfway keeps children and adults going for the second half.
Use photo tasks rather than knowledge questions for places you haven't seen yourself. 'Photograph the strangest gargoyle on this facade' works anywhere and gives you pictures to look back at.

Frequently asked questions

You place your points on the map from home using the neighbourhoods, squares and landmarks you already plan to visit. Add a question you can look up or a photo task like 'find the oldest door on this street', and the answer will present itself when you get there.

Plan for 60 to 90 minutes with 8 to 12 points spread over one or two neighbourhoods. That fits between a late breakfast and lunch, or in the two hours before dinner, without swallowing the whole day.

Children from about 6 years old can follow the map on a parent's phone and hand it over at each point. Give them one task per stop, such as counting statues on a fountain or photographing a specific shop sign, and a 3 km walk feels much shorter.

Yes, groups of 4 to 8 often split into two teams that walk the same route in opposite directions and meet back at a bar. Photo tasks work well here because you compare results afterwards over a drink.

The hunt uses the GPS in your phone and loads the map and tasks over a data connection. A local SIM, eSIM or your roaming plan is enough; the amount of data for a two-hour hunt is small.

You write the questions and tasks yourself, so the hunt is in whatever language your group speaks. Nothing depends on local signage or a preset text in the destination's language.
