Graz Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt
Overview
Graz is Austria's second city but arguably its most interesting — a medieval core meets contemporary art in the most unlikely places.
This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Graz on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.
• Hunt down the Rathaus, the alien-like Kunsthaus, and the musical Glockenspielplatz — one city, three completely different worlds
• Walk through Graz at your own pace, no agenda, no guide
• A great activity for couples, families, and groups of any size
Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.
Around 2 hours - any group size.
Even Graz residents will learn something new.

Detailed check-in instructions, including the exact address, are provided with your booking confirmation.
This activity ends back at the meeting point.
What To Expect
Starting at Innere Stadt, 8010 Graz, Austria, open the Explorial app and enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and [BRAND] chat message. Graz's old city is compact enough to cover on foot and deep enough to reward every step.
The first riddle leads you to the Rathaus, Graz's imposing neo-Renaissance town hall on the Hauptplatz, whose clock tower and colonnaded courtyard have anchored civic life here for over a century.
From there the app guides you to the Kunsthaus Graz — the 'friendly alien' as locals call it — a bulbous, blue-grey contemporary art museum designed by Peter Cook that landed in the old city in 2003 and has been starting conversations ever since.
Next you find the Glockenspielplatz, a small square where mechanical figures emerge from the clock tower to perform a traditional dance at set hours — a piece of mechanical theatre that has delighted and puzzled visitors for decades.
Allow around 2 hours for the route. Comfortable shoes are ideal for Graz's cobbled lanes.
