Secrets of Middelburg Self-Guided Scavenger Hunt & Walking Tour

Secrets of Middelburg is a self-guided walking tour through the old centre, built as a series of puzzles. You start on the Markt in front of the Stadhuis, with the Lange Jan tower above you, and the route continues to the Gistpoort. Each stop comes with a task and, once it is solved, with an explanation. Along the way it plays like a scavenger hunt through Middelburg, with something to find at every stop. Families, couples, groups of friends and colleagues all follow the same route. A team of one to four plays on a single phone, so a larger group divides into teams and compares scores afterwards. Alone works as well. With no guide and no fixed start, you decide when to walk Middelburg and how long to linger. How to playGetting started on the Markt takes four steps.

Around the Vismarkt and the Graanbeurs the game explains what these places were used for and how trade shaped the streets around them. It is context you can check against the buildings in front of you. Playing with several teams makes it a competition, with points for each task and a leaderboard at the end, and that is also why it works for team building. There is no time limit, so you can stop somewhere and continue later. It is a straightforward way to get to know Middelburg on foot.
