Germany: city games

A City Game turns a walk through a German city into a self-guided game. You follow a route on your smartphone, solve puzzles at real landmarks and pick up the stories behind the streets as you go. City Games run in more than 30 German cities, from Berlin and Hamburg to Munich and smaller historic towns such as Nördlingen and Wismar.

You decide when to start. Stop for a coffee or a museum visit and continue whenever you like. A game usually takes 1.5 to 2 hours and covers 3 to 4 km on foot, which makes it an easy way to see the highlights of a German city in a single afternoon.

Exploring Germany

Germany is a country of strong regional identities, and you notice it in every city. In the north, Hanseatic cities such as Hamburg, Lübeck and Bremen grew around harbours, warehouses and brick Gothic churches. Along the Rhine, Cologne, Bonn and Düsseldorf combine Roman roots with lively old towns. In the south, Munich, Regensburg and Nuremberg mix medieval lanes, market squares and beer gardens.

Most German city centres are compact and largely pedestrianised, so a walking game fits naturally. Historic centres often have cobblestones and the odd flight of steps, so comfortable shoes help. Want some inspiration first? Read our guide to our Munich guide or discover four Berlin neighbourhoods worth visiting.

Which cities in Germany have a City Game?

More than 30, including Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Cologne, Frankfurt, Dresden, Leipzig, Heidelberg and Nuremberg. You will find the full list of cities further down this page.

Do I need a guide or a fixed start time?

No. You play on your own smartphone, without a guide, and start whenever it suits you. You only need an internet connection. Here is how playing works.

How long does a City Game take?

Plan on 1.5 to 2 hours and a walk of 3 to 4 km. You can pause at any moment and continue later.

How many people can play together?

Depending on the game, 1 to 4 or 2 to 5 players share one smartphone. Bigger groups play with several phones; see our options for companies and groups.

Which games can I choose from?

How City Game works in Germany

You book your game online and receive a confirmation email with everything you need. Open the game on your phone when you are ready and start whenever it suits you, no guide is waiting and there is no fixed departure time. Stop for a coffee or a museum along the way and pick up where you left off.

Who is City Game in Germany for?

A City Game works for friends, family, couples and colleagues, and just as well on your own. You play in teams on one phone, and several teams can walk the same route at the same time, which is why it is often used for birthdays, team outings and family days. Children join in easily as long as an adult reads along.
