You control the route, the pace and when you stop

A self-guided city game in Zutphen where you use GPS on your smartphone to find landmarks, answer questions and complete assignments across the city's best squares, streets and monuments. You start and stop whenever you choose, and the whole experience takes around three hours. Groups of up to six people play together on one device, making it affordable and flexible for families, friends or small teams.

The Experience

How does a scavenger hunt work when there's no guide telling you where to go? You download the QULA app, log in after booking, and GPS guides you to each location. At each stop, you answer a question or complete an assignment about what you're standing in front of—the monument, the square, the street itself. It's not a lecture; it's a game, and you move through the city solving it. The smartphone is your only tool, so you need data and a charged battery, but you don't need to book a time slot or show up anywhere specific.

The three-hour window is yours to stretch or compress. You might finish in two hours if your group moves fast, or take four if you linger at a café between stops. You pause whenever you want—grab lunch, sit in a park, duck into a museum that catches your eye—and pick the game back up. This is what separates it from a guided tour: the city doesn't wait for a schedule, and neither do you. Families with young children often break it into two shorter sessions across different days, and the app remembers where you stopped.

The game itself is designed to be fun rather than academic. You're not memorizing dates; you're noticing details about the places you walk through and answering questions that make you actually look at the city. Wheelchair users and people with strollers can do the full route, since all areas and surfaces are accessible. The app works in English, Spanish, Italian, French and two other languages, so language isn't a barrier to playing.
