The Antwerp scavenger hunt starts at Antwerp Central Station and heads to St James’ Church and St Charles Borromeo Church. You continue to the Cathedral of Our Lady, the Groenplaats and the Plantin-Moretus Museum, then down to Het Steen on the Scheldt and the Vleeshuis, finishing at the City Hall on the Grote Markt.
The 10 stops cover about 3.5 km, roughly 44 minutes of walking. You can start elsewhere 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.
Antwerp packs centuries of trade and art into a walkable centre. Central Station, completed in the early 1900s, is often called a railway cathedral. Rubens is buried in St James’ Church, his altarpieces hang in the Cathedral of Our Lady, one of the largest Gothic churches in the Low Countries, and the Plantin-Moretus printing house is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On the Grote Markt the Brabo Fountain tells the legend of how the city got its name.
A game makes you look closely at gables, statues and façades you would otherwise pass, and the stories explain what you just saw. Everyone plays on their own phone, with no schedule and time for fries whenever you like.
