Find the sheets. Beat him to it.

Before I died, I left a sealed packet in my Maiden, behind fourteen sheets of my plan. Each sheet carries a number.

  1. Secrets of Bergen op Zoom Self-Guided Scavenger Hunt & Walking Tour – It beginsIt begins

    Menno van Coehoorn. Frisian. Soldier. Builder of fortresses, and breaker of them.

  2. Secrets of Bergen op Zoom Self-Guided Scavenger Hunt & Walking Tour – It goes wrongIt goes wrong

    Tonight a dealer in old war goods, the Sapper, is digging for it. His buyer waits at four in the morning. If he gets there first, my packet is sold and leaves this city for good.

  3. Secrets of Bergen op Zoom Self-Guided Scavenger Hunt & Walking Tour – Your moveYour move

    My first sheet is at the town hall, right in front of you. The Sapper was here at dusk.

Secrets of Bergen op Zoom hands you the streets themselves as a puzzle. It is a self-guided scavenger hunt on your own phone, no guide, no group, no departure time.

Because it is GPS-based, the game always knows which corner you are on and gives you that corner's riddle, puzzle or photograph. The answers are never on the phone; they are out in Bergen op Zoom, in front of anyone who bothers to look. What sticks afterwards is the part nobody tells you on a tour.

Expect Sint-Gertrudiskerk, Standbeeld Anton van Duinkerken and Ravelijn op den Zoom on the route. Most of what you need is not at the stops at all but on the way to them, and it rewards anyone who slows down.

Het Stadhuis and De Maagd Theater are on the list too, and the habit of looking up sets in on its own.

A Self-Guided Tour of Bergen op Zoom That Asks the Questions

Everything a self-guided tour of Bergen op Zoom gives you, minus the narration. The route is real and so is the history behind it, but you get at it by solving rather than listening, and nobody is standing at the front of a group. You walk, you look, you work it out. Intermediate difficulty, so most things fall and the rest makes for a decent argument. Riddles, code-breaking, and photographs you would not have taken.

Had great fun playing secrets of Haarlem!

Want to Plan a Fun Scavenger Hunt in Bergen op Zoom?

This is one, already built. Setting it up is a date and a link: book, open the play link from your email, begin when you feel like it. Nothing gets printed, nothing gets hidden beforehand and no list gets written, because the route through Bergen op Zoom, the riddles and the photo tasks all exist, about two hours over 3 to 4 km on foot. One ticket is €19.95 and covers up to four people on one phone. It is the same evening you were going to spend writing clues, spent walking instead.

A Scavenger Hunt for Adults, Teams and Families in Bergen op Zoom

Adults. As a scavenger hunt for adults it has real bite, this is not a printable list of things to spot. The difficulty is intermediate, the riddles reward looking at what is in front of you, and the two hours hold up for a group that came to be entertained.

Families. Children walk it without trouble and are usually the fastest at the photo tasks. The riddles are the part you solve together, which is what makes it work for a group with a wide spread of ages.

Teams. One ticket covers four people, so a department divides straight into groups running the identical route through Bergen op Zoom. No host to hire, no venue to reserve, no departure time. Put three or four teams on it together and the competition takes care of itself.

Couples and friends. A self guided tour with nobody to follow and nothing to keep up with. You choose the pace and the stops, and you come away with facts about Bergen op Zoom that would surprise a local.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Secrets exploration game work?

Book a date and a link arrives by email. The play link does the rest. You start it at the first location in Bergen op Zoom, and from there your position drives everything, each stop brings a riddle, a puzzle or a photograph to take, and answering it opens the next stop.

Is this a walking tour or a game?

Both, deliberately. On distance and route it is a walking tour of Bergen op Zoom; on content it is a puzzle. The history arrives through the riddles rather than through a guide, and there is nobody to follow.

What do we need to bring?

A phone with battery and shoes that handle 3 to 4 km. You get a link when you book and open the play link when you get there, no printing, no hiding things in advance, no kit to collect from anyone.

How long does it take?

About two hours, covering 3 to 4 km on foot. There is no time limit and no fixed start, you pick a date when booking and then begin whenever suits you on that date, so a slow group simply takes longer.

How many people can play on one ticket?

One ticket covers a group of 1 to 4 people playing on one device, at €19.95 in total. Groups larger than four buy a second ticket, which also lets them play against each other.

Is it hard?

Intermediate. Observation and sideways thinking do the work; you do not need to know the city, and nothing on the route is built to stop you permanently.

Is it suitable for children?

Yes, the 3 to 4 km is no obstacle and the photo tasks are where younger players get ahead. The riddles sit at intermediate, so families tend to solve them as a group, which is the intended way round.

Do we need to book a date?

Not a time slot, just a date. When you start on that date is entirely up to you, and there is nowhere to assemble and nobody to find.

What happens if it rains?

Rain is a pause, not a problem. Duck inside, let it pass, and carry on from the stop you were at, nothing is counting down.

Will we actually learn something about Bergen op Zoom?

It is the whole design. Every riddle sits on something real, the history of Bergen op Zoom, the people in it, the details nobody points out, so you come away with more than a visitor normally does. If a plot appeals more than a route, the other city games in Bergen op Zoom have one.

    Wir (Mein Mann, unsere 9-jährige Tochter und ich) haben heute ganz spontan das Spiel "Moordmysterie Düsseldorf" gebucht und gespielt. Die Buchung verlief schnell und reibungslos. Es hat super viel Spaß gemacht! Die Story, die Rätsel, das Konzept, die Route, die Gestaltung der App... richtig gut!!! Das Spiel würde ich vor allem Familien mit Kindern empfehlen. Für Erwachsene waren die Rätsel (meiner Meinung nach) zu einfach. Aber trotzdem wegen der schönen Route durch Düsseldorf, der Story, den lustigen Anweisungen zwischendurch eine schöne Aktion, die man zusammen machen kann.

    I had a fantastic experience with CityGame! The concept is creative, engaging, and a great way to explore a city in a completely new way. The games are well-designed, combining puzzles, storytelling, and adventure so you’re constantly discovering something interesting around every corner. What I especially love is how CityGame turns a normal walk through the city into an interactive experience. It’s perfect for friends, families, or team outings, and it makes sightseeing much more exciting than the usual tours. Everything was easy to use, the challenges were fun and clever, and it really encouraged us to look closer at the city and its hidden details. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a unique and memorable way to explore!

    This is an interesting way to conduct a self-guided Amsterdam city tour. It used the GPS on your phone to guide you to stops on a route. There are mini quizzes once you arrive at the stops on the path. The quizzes draw your attention to features in front of you or to a brief history of the place. In many cases, we visited a spot that would not have been obvious as a regular passer by. The tour as a whole was interesting to us as newcomers, but I would have liked more information on many locations we visited - a few links outside of the app for each place would have been helpful. Beyond that, the interface was a bit clunky and sometimes awkward to navigate. We definitely don't regret trying this out and feel like we got our money's worth on the experience.
