The myCityHunt Scavenger Hunt Cologne offers a unique way to explore Cologne's rich history and vibrant culture. Instead of a classic city tour or Free Walking Tour, participants play an engaging game throughout the city's Old Town, solving tricky challenges and learning new facts. The hunt covers iconic sights like the Cologne Cathedral, Wallraf–Richartz Museum, and Hohenzollern Bridge, as well as lesser-known spots, inviting both locals and newcomers to see the city with fresh eyes. Each team member chooses a role, such as Photographer or Navigator, making the activity interactive and inclusive. The route covers about 4.5 km and typically lasts 3 hours. All tasks can be accessed via the myCityHunt app, which guides teams to each checkpoint. The event is suitable for families, friends, or corporate groups, and can be played anytime with ticket validity for three years.

(Translated by Google) We did the scavenger hunt in Munich and were absolutely thrilled. Flexible, informative, entertaining, funny, and we got to know a familiar city from a completely different perspective. We'll definitely do it again soon! (Original) Haben die Schnitzeljagd in München gemacht und waren schwer begeistert. Flexibel, informativ, kurzweilig, witzig und wir lernten auch eine uns bekannte Stadt von einer ganz anderen Seite kennen. Bald wieder!

(Translated by Google) It was fun, and we rediscovered Weimar in a whole new way. We were two adults and a 10-year-old child (who, of course, didn't have a smartphone yet), so we paid for three... Completely unnecessary. We definitely overpaid for the scavenger hunt; a real disappointment. This wasn't communicated well; was it intentional? Therefore, one point deducted. (Original) Hat schon Spass gemacht, und wir haben Weimar noch einmal ganz neu entdeckt. Wir, das sind zwei Erwachsene und ein Kind von 10 Jahren (natürlich noch kein Smartphone) haben dann für drei bezahlt… Eigentlich völlig unnötig. Somit deutlich zu viel ausgegeben für die Schnitzeljagd; ein herber Wermutstropfen. Das wird nicht gut kommuniziert; bewusst? Daher einen Punkt Abzug.
