Hague City Game: Self-Guided Smartphone Scavenger Hunt

Answer riddles and hunt for clues across The Hague's best spots, setting your own pace on your phone.

The Hague City Game is a self-guided scavenger hunt played on your smartphone that takes you through the city's squares, streets and monuments while you solve riddles and complete assignments. You choose when to start, pause and finish. There are no fixed times or reservations, and the trail runs 24/7 in seven languages. Groups of up to six people play together, competing for top scores as they discover facts about the city at their own rhythm.

The experience

Download the Qula app, log in with your booking details, and head to the starting point whenever suits your day. The game uses GPS to navigate you between locations and feeds you riddles and search assignments tied to each spot. You're not following a guide's pace or a set itinerary. You move when you're ready, linger as long as you want, and pause mid-game if you need a break. The whole route is designed to take around two hours, but since there's no time limit, you set the rhythm.

The trail weaves through The Hague's most interesting squares, streets and monuments, and the app delivers facts about each one as you solve the puzzles. Your group competes for a top score, which turns the walk into a game rather than a checklist. It works on both Android and iPhone, so whoever has the phone can lead while the rest follow along and shout out answers. Families with strollers, groups of friends, school groups: the format scales because nobody's waiting for anyone else.

The app is available in English, German, French, Dutch, Spanish, Italian and more, so language isn't a barrier for mixed groups. Public transport stops are nearby if you need them, and all the areas you'll walk through are wheelchair accessible. Once you've finished, you can check the leaderboard and see how your team ranked, or replay the trail another day to beat your own score.
