Strasbourg Self-Guided Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt App Game
Overview
Canals, covered bridges and a cathedral that was once the tallest building on Earth — Strasbourg plays in two languages and wins in both.
This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Strasbourg on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.
• Wander the Quartier de la Petite France and its tanners' houses
• Crane your neck on Place de la Cathédrale before the pink giant
• Step into the Église Saint-Thomas, the 'Protestant cathedral'
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.
Grande île, grand game.

What To Expect
Starting at 3 Place des Orphelins, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and [BRAND] chat message, and head across the Grande Île. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city.
The Quartier de la Petite France unfolds first — half-timbered tanners' houses leaning over green canals, every corner a riddle-worthy view.
On Place de la Cathédrale, the pink sandstone cathedral fills the sky; for over two centuries it was the tallest building in the world. Trivia covers the astronomical clock and its noon parade of apostles.
Then the Église Saint-Thomas offers a quieter finale, with a marshal's spectacular mausoleum and an organ Mozart once played.
Around two hours between France and Germany, culturally speaking. Tarte flambée seals the final standings.
