The Liège scavenger hunt starts at St Paul’s Cathedral and heads to the Collegiate Church of Saint-Jacques, the Charlemagne Monument and the Aquarium-Muséum. You then pass the Théâtre de Liège and the Opéra Royal de Wallonie-Liège, reach Place Saint-Lambert, lined by the Palace of the Prince-Bishops, and continue via Saint-André and Saint-Barthélemy to the Grand Curtius museum.
Expect about 54 minutes (4.2 km) of walking in total. You can start at another stop 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.
For around eight centuries Liège was the capital of a prince-bishopric, and it still shows. The vast Palace of the Prince-Bishops lines Place Saint-Lambert, where the old cathedral once stood, Saint-Jacques has a richly decorated Gothic vault, and Saint-Barthélemy keeps a famous 12th-century baptismal font.
A game turns the walk into a shared challenge. Each riddle makes you look closely at façades and statues you would otherwise miss, and the stories explain what you have just seen. Everyone plays on their own phone, there is no schedule, and you can stop for a warm Liège waffle whenever you like.
