Bruges: Urban escape game with app & city walk

Summary

Explore Bruges while solving puzzles and laughing with friends

You’ll dive into Bruges with friends or family as you solve riddles guided by your phone, discover both famous sights and quiet corners, chat with locals, and collect memories (and photos) along the way. It’s a playful way to see the city that’ll stick with you long after you finish.

What’s the experience like?

We were already halfway across the Markt when my phone buzzed — another riddle from our virtual guide (who, by the way, has a surprisingly dry sense of humor for an app). My friend Sara squinted at the old brickwork above a chocolate shop, convinced the answer was hidden in some carved date. People passed by with waffles and bikes, and I caught this faint smell of melted sugar mixed with rain on cobblestones. Not sure if it’s always like that in Bruges or just luck.

The urban escape game had us zigzagging through narrow lanes I’d never have found on my own. One clue led us to a quiet canal where a local couple sat sharing fries — they smiled when we asked (awkwardly) about the statue nearby. Our team of four kept getting sidetracked by window displays or random street musicians, but somehow we pieced together enough answers to keep going. The city felt different when you’re actually looking for things instead of just wandering.

I didn’t expect to learn so much history between all the jokes and wrong guesses. The app would throw in little stories about facades or monuments — stuff you’d miss if you weren’t paying attention. We could’ve rushed it in two hours, but honestly we took our time (and maybe too many snack breaks). At one point, Sara tried to pronounce “Begijnhof” and Li laughed so hard he almost dropped his phone. I still think about that view over the canal at dusk — kind of peaceful after all the running around.
