The Dubrovnik scavenger hunt starts at Pile Gate and follows the Stradun past Large Onofrio’s Fountain to the Clock Tower and St Blaise’s Church. From the Rector’s Palace you head to the Porporela breakwater by the old harbour, then to the cathedral, St Ignatius Church and the House of Marin Držić, finishing at Fort Bokar.
The 10 stops cover only about 1.3 km, roughly 17 minutes of walking. You can start anywhere or change the order in the app, with Google Maps guiding you. No entry tickets are needed: every riddle uses the outside of the buildings.
Dubrovnik’s old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site enclosed by walls nearly 2 km long. For centuries it was the seat of the Republic of Ragusa, and much of it was rebuilt after the great earthquake of 1667. St Blaise is the city’s patron saint, and the playwright Marin Držić lived here in the 16th century.
A game makes you look closely at carvings, coats of arms and fountains you would otherwise miss, and the stories explain what you just saw. Everyone plays on their own phone, there is no schedule, and you can stop for a cold drink whenever you like.
The Dubrovnik scavenger hunt takes about 2 hours. It has 10 stops and only about 17 minutes (1.3 km) of actual walking; the rest is solving riddles and listening to stories. You can pause at any time and continue later or on another day.
It starts at Pile Gate, the main western entrance to the old town, and finishes at Fort Bokar on the city walls nearby. In the app you can choose a different starting stop or change the order.
