Groningen is the Netherlands' northern secret β€” a student city with a medieval tower, a world-class museum, and a hidden alleyway that's been there since the 1400s.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Groningen on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

β€’ Chase riddles to the Martinitoren, the Groninger Museum, and the medieval Papengang β€” eight centuries in one afternoon

β€’ Start whenever you want and move at whatever pace suits the group

β€’ Perfect for families, friends, or curious solo explorers

Around 2 hours, any group size, available in English.

The Martinitoren has been watching over Groningen for 600 years β€” time you met it properly.

What To Expect

Starting at Zeeheldenbuurt, Groningen, Netherlands, open the Explorial app and enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message. The riddles take you straight into the heart of a city that has been doing things its own way since the Middle Ages. The first clue leads to the Martinitoren, the 97-metre tower that has dominated Groningen's skyline since the 15th century. Climb it for panoramic views over the city and the flat northern landscape beyond. From there the app takes you to the Groninger Museum, a deliberately provocative building sitting in the canal with its jumble of architectural styles β€” a museum that announces itself before you've even seen a single exhibit. Your final landmark is the Papengang, a narrow medieval alleyway threading between old buildings β€” one of the most atmospheric shortcuts in a city full of them. Allow around 2 hours. Groningen is very walkable, and the app guides you between landmarks with precision.
