From the Tiger to the Monolith, one riddle at a time

The Oslo scavenger hunt is a self-guided city game you play on your phone: you walk from landmark to landmark, solve a riddle at each one by looking closely at what is in front of you, and unlock the stories and legends behind it. Between the bronze Tiger and the Vigeland sculptures you cover 4.7 km in about 60 minutes of walking, spread over 10 stops, so with riddles, stories and pauses the whole game runs to roughly 3 hours, starting the moment you open it.

Highlights include Oslo Cathedral, the Storting, City Hall where the Nobel Peace Prize is presented, the Royal Palace, the National Theatre and the Vigeland sculptures in Frogner Park. Oslo's centre is easy to explore on foot: Karl Johans gate runs from the station towards the palace, and the harbourfront by City Hall is never far away.

A game across Oslo, from the station to the sculpture park

Bronze lions, brick towers, a chocolate clock

Each stop hides one riddle in what stands before you: the lions on Løvebakken in front of the Storting, the reliefs in the City Hall courtyard, the Freia sign above Egertorget. Careful looking and a bit of logic solve it, and no Norwegian is needed.

Nobel, Ibsen and the tiger city

Every answer unlocks a story: why Oslo was nicknamed Tigerstaden, which building hosts the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony each December, and whose statues have stood outside the National Theatre since it opened in 1899. Let the audio narration tell them as you walk up Karl Johans gate.

4.7 km from the station to the park

The walking adds up to around 60 minutes: along Karl Johans gate, down to the harbour by City Hall, up to the palace and west to Frogner Park. Google Maps guides you from one stop to the next on wide, easy pavements.

Coffee on Karl Johan, a rest in the Palace Park

Nothing runs on a timer, so stop for coffee on Karl Johans gate or sit down in the Palace Park whenever you like, then carry on the same day or another one. Coming in on the airport train? The Tiger stands right outside Oslo Central Station, so you can begin on the spot.

Cruise guests, families and colleagues in Norway's capital

Cruise calls and weekend breaks

In about 3 hours you see the parliament, the Nobel venue, the palace and Vigeland's sculptures, which suits a port call or a first afternoon in Oslo. The riddles turn the long walk west into a string of small discoveries.

Children who count granite figures

Kids enjoy the giant bronze tiger at the start, the stone lions outside the Storting and, at the end, a park full of granite and bronze people, including the Monolith with its 121 figures. An adult plays in every team, and the distance is long enough to plan a snack stop.

Teams who regroup among the sculptures

Up to 5 players share a team, each on their own phone, and several teams can set off from Jernbanetorget a few minutes apart. Frogner Park is public and makes a natural meeting point at the end, with nothing to book apart from the tickets.

Good to know

  • Bring a charged smartphone with mobile data; a power bank helps.
  • No entry tickets needed: everything happens outside the buildings. Going inside is optional and paid separately.
  • Family friendly; children must be accompanied by an adult.
  • Not suitable for wheelchair users and difficult with strollers.
  • Teams of up to 5 work best; bigger groups split into several teams, one ticket per player.
  • Every purchase helps support stray cats and dogs in Greece.

The route: from the Tiger at Oslo Central Station to Vigeland's sculptures in Frogner Park

10 stops · about 60 min walking · start: The Tiger (Tigeren) · finish: Frogner Park (Vigeland Park)

The hunt starts at the bronze Tiger on Jernbanetorget, outside Oslo Central Station, and follows Karl Johans gate past Oslo Cathedral, the Freia clock at Egertorget and the Storting. It then heads down to the harbour for City Hall and the Nobel Peace Center, on to the National Theatre and the Royal Palace, and west past Uranienborg Church to finish in Frogner Park among the Vigeland sculptures. Every riddle is solved from the pavement, the palace park or the harbour front, so no stop sends you to a ticket office, and if your hotel is nearer the Royal Palace than the station, the app can make that your opening stop and arrange the others around it.

  1. The Tiger (Tigeren)

    1The Tiger (Tigeren)Start

    The Tiger is a bronze sculpture by Elena Engelsen on Jernbanetorget, the square in front of Oslo Central Station. About 4.5 metres long, it was given to the city for its 1000th anniversary in 2000 and refers to Oslo's old nickname, Tigerstaden (the Tiger City), which is traced back to a poem by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson.

  2. Oslo Cathedral

    2Oslo Cathedral

    Oslo Cathedral was consecrated in 1697, and the royal family and the government use it for their great public occasions: King Harald V and Queen Sonja married here in 1968. Look at the bronze west doors made by Dagfin Werenskiold in 1938; inside are Emanuel Vigeland's stained-glass windows and Hugo Lous Mohr's painted ceiling.

  3. Freiauret (Freia Clock)

    3Freiauret (Freia Clock)

    Freiauret is the illuminated sign and clock of the Freia chocolate company, founded in Oslo in 1889, on a building at Egertorget where Karl Johans gate meets Øvre Slottsgate. The sign has changed over the years but has always stood in the same place, and the square below is a popular meeting point with street musicians.

  4. Storting (Norwegian Parliament)

    4Storting (Norwegian Parliament)

    Norway's parliament meets in this building designed by the Swedish architect Emil Victor Langlet and taken into use in 1866. It is built of yellow brick on a base of light grey granite, and stone lions designed by Christopher Borch guard the sloping approach known as Løvebakken, the Lion Hill.

  5. Oslo City Hall (Rådhuset)

    5Oslo City Hall (Rådhuset)

    Oslo City Hall, designed by Arnstein Arneberg and Magnus Poulsson, was built between 1931 and 1950 and opened for the city's 900th anniversary. Its two brick towers rise 63 and 66 metres, and every year on 10 December the Nobel Peace Prize is presented in its main hall. Look for Dagfin Werenskiold's colourful reliefs of Norse myths in the courtyard.

  6. Nobel Peace Center

    6Nobel Peace Center

    The Nobel Peace Center occupies the former Oslo West railway station, built in 1872 to designs by Georg Andreas Bull and used by trains until 1989. King Harald V opened the centre in 2005 as a showcase for the Nobel Peace Prize, its laureates and the ideals the prize stands for.

  7. National Theatre

    7National Theatre

    Norway's National Theatre, designed by Henrik Bull, gave its first performance on 1 September 1899. Most of Henrik Ibsen's plays have been staged here, and Stephan Sinding's statues of Ibsen and Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson have stood in front of the building since the year it opened.

  8. Royal Palace

    8Royal Palace

    The Royal Palace was commissioned by King Charles III John, who ruled Norway and Sweden, and designed by Hans Linstow; the foundation stone was laid in 1825 and the palace was completed in 1849. It has 173 rooms and stands in the public Palace Park, with Brynjulf Bergslien's equestrian statue of the king, finished in 1875, in front.

  9. Uranienborg Church

    9Uranienborg Church

    Uranienborg Church was designed in neo-Gothic style by Balthazar Lange, later Kristiania's city architect, and consecrated on 22 December 1886. The brick church stands beside Uranienborg Park behind the Royal Palace, and its stained-glass windows are the work of Emanuel Vigeland.

  10. Frogner Park (Vigeland Park)

    10Frogner Park (Vigeland Park)Finish

    Frogner Park is home to the Vigeland installation, 212 bronze and granite sculptures all designed by Gustav Vigeland, who worked on it for about two decades. It culminates in the Monolith, a column about 14 metres high carved from a single block of granite, with 121 human figures climbing towards the top.

    Obwohl es geregnet hat konnten wir die Stadtf?hrung machen. Die Sehensw?rdigkeiten waren nett, zum Schluss aber zu weit auseinander, ebenso war es kein Rundgang und zu weit vom Hbf entfernt . Schade war, dass es zu dem Quiz keine Fragen gab und wir teilweise nicht wussten, was gesucht wurde. Dementsprechend war es schwierig die R?tsel zu l?sen, die im Nachhinein aber kreativ und gut waren.

    Die Tour durch Olso ist ganz nett, wenn man die Stadt zu Fu? erkunden und dem Massentourismus entfliehen m?chte. Wenn man mit der F?hre kommt und nur 4 Stunden Aufenthalt hat, ist die Zeit schon recht knapp, mit Erwachsenen aber durchaus machbar. Wir haben es nicht so eng gesehen und waren auch mal in Gesch?ften drin. Vom Ziel l?uft man noch circa 25 Minuten zur F?hre. F?r diesen Zweck w?re eine andere Reihenfolge der Stationen oder die Option, dass man diese selbst ?ndern k?nnte, w?nschenswert. Die Stationen sind ganz nett, im Sommer sicherlich noch sch?ner anzusehen. Man bekommt auf jeden Fall einiges von der Innenstadt und sp?ter auch ein bisschen was von au?erhalb zu sehen. Die R?tsel sind teilweise sehr leicht, teilweise recht knifflig, f?r R?tselfans eine gute Mischung. Wenn man mal nicht weiter kommt, kann man sich in mehreren Stufen Hinweise ansehen und ggf. die L?sung. Ich w?rde die Tour wieder buchen.

    Een leuke manier om gericht langs de highlights van de stad te gaan. De puzzels hadden echter niets te maken met deze highlights en ook de losse informatie in de app hing niet samen met de wandeling. Al met al nogal onsamenhangend, helaas.. Omdat mijn kind en ik ook ieder hadden betaald terwijl 1 inlog voldoende was geweest, vond ik het het geld niet waard.

Frequently asked questions

Can we do the Oslo hunt in an afternoon?

An afternoon is about right, as the game takes around 3 hours. Walking accounts for some 60 minutes of it, over 4.7 km and 10 stops from the Tiger to Frogner Park, and the remainder goes on riddles, stories and the odd look at the fjord. If the weather turns, pause and come back to it another day.

Why is a bronze tiger the first stop, and which park is the last?

The bronze Tiger on Jernbanetorget, outside Oslo Central Station, recalls the city's old nickname, Tigerstaden, which makes it a fitting first riddle. The game finishes in Frogner Park among Gustav Vigeland's sculptures, and if you are staying near the palace or the harbour, the app lets you start at another stop.

Do we have to be at Jernbanetorget at a particular time?

No time is set and no guide turns up. Your booking reference arrives by email, and once it is entered in the World City Trail app you decide the day and the hour, which is handy given how much the daylight changes through the Norwegian year. Booking is per head, and the riddles about the tiger, the palace and the sculptures show up on every phone in the team.

Do we pay anything at the Nobel Peace Center or in Vigeland Park?

The game asks for nothing beyond your ticket, because the riddles are solved outside. Vigeland's sculptures stand in a public park open to everyone, while the Nobel Peace Center's exhibitions and the summer guided tours of the Royal Palace are paid visits you can add if you wish.

What will children like on the way through Oslo?

Plenty, with a grown-up in each team: the 4.5-metre bronze tiger, the stone lions guarding the Storting, the soldiers on guard outside the Royal Palace and, at the finish, the Monolith with 121 figures climbing to the top. The route is not suitable for wheelchairs, and with 4.7 km to cover, a pushchair makes for a long outing.

Can we play in Oslo in Spanish or Italian?

You can: besides English, the Oslo game is available in German, French, Italian, Spanish and Dutch, though not in Norwegian. Each player makes the choice in the World City Trail app before the Tiger's riddle opens.

Could our team split into groups between the station and Frogner Park?

That works well: book a ticket per person, form teams of up to five and send them off from the Tiger at intervals, then meet at the Monolith at the end. From Karl Johans gate to Frogner Park it all happens in public space, so no room needs hiring.

What should we wear for a game in Oslo's weather?

Layers and a waterproof jacket are wise in most seasons, plus comfortable shoes for 4.7 km and, in winter, soles with grip for icy pavements. Each team also needs a charged phone with mobile data, ideally with a power bank, as the cold drains batteries faster.

Your first riddle waits beside the Tiger

Each player needs a ticket, bought online, and the reference then comes by email. On the day you choose, step out of Oslo Central Station onto Jernbanetorget and open the first riddle next to the bronze tiger.
