Philippines: city games
A City Game turns a walk through a city in the Philippines 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 4 cities in the Philippines, from Manila and Cebu City to Quezon City.
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 city in the Philippines in a single afternoon.

Discover the stories behind the facades. For everyone.Exploring Philippines
The Philippines keeps its history in stone and in street life. Manila holds Intramuros, the walled Spanish quarter, a short ride from markets, malls and the bay. Quezon City next door is bigger, greener and built around universities and parks. Cebu City combines a sixteenth-century cross and fort with a busy port, and Puerto Princesa on Palawan is the calm counterpoint, close to the sea and the national park.
Rain showers in the wet season are short but heavy, so a light jacket helps. Traffic is dense, and the walking parts of a route are often faster than a taxi. Compare all City Games or browse all our destinations to pick your next city.
