Secrets of Hanover Self-Guided Scavenger Hunt & Walking Tour

This self-guided walking tour of Hanover begins on the Holzmarkt, one of the squares in the old town, and keeps you on foot in the streets around it. From that starting point the game sends you from corner to corner of the district, pointing out the buildings, squares and details you would otherwise walk straight past. Everything you need is on your phone, and the explanations arrive as you reach each place. Along the way it plays like a scavenger hunt through Hanover, with something to find at every stop. The route works for couples, families, groups of friends and colleagues who like looking around a city at their own speed. One to four people play together as a team on a single phone, and a larger group simply forms several teams that head off separately from the Holzmarkt. Solo players can play the full route too. Nobody is waiting to lead you and there is no set departure time, so you start whenever it suits you. How to playPreparing for a game in Hanover takes very little effort.

Answers come from facades, inscriptions, monuments and street corners rather than from a guidebook, and between the tasks the game shares facts and stories about the parts of the old town you are crossing. Playing with several teams at the same time turns the walk into a competition, and the leaderboard compares the scores when everyone finishes. That makes it a straightforward choice for a team outing. There is no time limit either, so you can break for something to eat and pick up the route again later in Hanover.
