The 15 Best Scavenger Hunts in Belgium

1.e-Scavenger hunt Antwerp: Explore the city at your own pace

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 67 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) Our pick

Follow Qula’s self-guided Antwerp City Trail from Groenplaats through the old center, Meir, Het Steen, and the St. Anna’s Tunnel. Your phone provides directions, riddles, and tasks in several languages. Start anytime, pause when you like, and play privately with up to six people.

“We (my brother and I) completed the walk and were left not totally disapppointed but decidedly unimpressed. The walk did touch upon the majority of the key spots in and around the Antwerp city center, but the texts were uninspired - missing both anything unique or special - and the riddles and their answers were not really enlightening, and did not add anything to understanding or appreciating the city. Overall, we left with the feeling that using a different tour would have been better.”

2.e-Scavenger hunt Bruges: Explore the city at your own pace

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 58 reviews · 3 hours (approx.)

You and up to five companions follow a smartphone-based Qula City Trail from Bruges Station through squares, churches, canals, the Beguinage, Markt, Burg, and more. Solve riddles, answer trivia, and pause for lunch or coffee whenever you like. No guide or fixed start time is required.

“Het was een heel leuk spel om nieuwe plekjes in Brugge te ontdekken. Het enige wat ik wat minder vind is dat je heel de route zelf moest uitstippelen. Het had makkelijker geweest als je een startplaats instelde en dat er automatisch een route gemaakt werd. Ook waren er op de kaart een paar url's verkeerd ingesteld bij routebeschrijving waarbij je automatisch naar de grote markt werd gestuurd. Over het algemeen zeker het proberen waard!”

“Ein bisschen mehr Inhalt zu den einzelnen Stationen wäre schön gewesen. Evtl. mit der Möglichkeit einen langenText oder aber auch nur den kurzen Text zu lesen. Die Möglichkeit sowohl per Karte wie auch nach GPS ist sehr gut. Ein paar Hinweise, nach späteren Aktivitäten nach der Tour, wären sehr schön gewesen. Auch weitere Infos zur Stadt wären schön gewesen. Der Preis erscheint uns zu hoch, eine Stadtführung mit Guide würde ähnlich viel kosten (zu zweit). Dann hätte man die Möglichkeit der Konversation. Somit nur 3 Sterne.”
