Delft city game: Explore at your own pace

A city game you control, not a tour that controls you

Delft city game is a self-guided smartphone scavenger hunt where you answer riddles, complete search assignments, and navigate to landmarks using GPS — available 24/7 with no fixed start time, and playable solo or with a private instructor who offers live guidance and a final challenge. You choose when to start, stop or pause; the app works on Android or iPhone and is offered in multiple languages including English, Spanish, Italian and French.

The Experience

You download the app, arrive at the starting point whenever suits your day, and begin solving riddles that lead you through Delft's best squares, streets and monuments. The game uses GPS to guide you between locations, so you're not wandering — you're hunting. Each stop has a question to answer or an assignment to complete on your phone, and the app keeps score as you go. The whole route takes around three hours, but there's no clock: you can pause mid-game, come back later, or stretch it across a morning and afternoon if you want.

The self-guided version is the affordable option — you and up to five others play as a team, competing for the top score. If you want live instruction, you can book a private guide instead, who meets you at the start and walks the route with your group. The guide offers explanations at each stop, tailors the pace to your questions, and runs a final challenge where you can win real prizes. Both versions use the same app and the same route; the difference is whether you're solving it independently or with someone coaching you through it.

Start whenever you choose — there are no reservations, no fixed times, and no pressure to book a specific slot. The trail runs 24/7, works on any smartphone, and is wheelchair accessible throughout. Instructions arrive by email after you book, so you'll know exactly how to launch the game when you're ready to play.
