The Oslo scavenger hunt starts at the Tiger statue outside Central Station and heads to Oslo Cathedral and the Freia Clock on Karl Johans gate. You pass the Parliament, go down to City Hall and the Nobel Peace Center by the harbour, then pass the National Theatre and climb to the Royal Palace. Via Uranienborg Church you finish in Frogner Park.
The 10 stops cover about 4.7 km, roughly 60 minutes of walking. You can start anywhere or change the order in the app. No entry tickets are needed: every riddle uses the outside of the buildings.
Oslo’s main street, Karl Johans gate, runs from the station past the Parliament to the Royal Palace, so the city’s story unfolds as you walk. Every December the Nobel Peace laureate is honoured in the brick City Hall by the harbour, and Frogner Park holds more than 200 sculptures by Gustav Vigeland.
A game makes you look closely at statues, reliefs and façades you would otherwise pass by, and the stories explain what you just saw. Everyone plays on their own phone, there is no schedule, and you can stop for coffee and a cinnamon bun whenever you like.
The Oslo scavenger hunt takes about 3 hours. It has 10 stops and about 60 minutes (4.7 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 Oslo Central Station and finishes in Frogner Park, home of the Vigeland sculptures. In the app you can choose a different starting stop or change the order.
