Tell the stories no plaque can
Embed a story, a riddle or a video at every checkpoint. Visitors leave with the small local details that make a city stick, not the same five facts everyone gets.
City Games
Make your city worth exploring on foot
For citymarketing teams, tourism boards and cultural organizations. Streets, landmarks and shop windows turn into a self-guided adventure with the local stories most visitors never hear.
What city teams use HuntHopper for
Visitors stay longer and see more
Guide them past the obvious sights into local shops, hidden corners and side streets. More steps, more stops, more reasons to grab dinner and stay a night.
Bring local shops into the route
Make any checkpoint a sponsor stop with a reward, voucher or small discount. Drives footfall to local businesses and gives them a reason to back the project.
Stays fresh year after year
Refresh routes per season or campaign without reprinting anything. Same QR posters in town; what they unlock changes whenever you change it.
Mix the formats that fit your city
GPS, QR and quiz form the backbone of most routes. Photo missions are great for family routes and shareable moments.
GPS challenges
Send players to the market square, the harbour, the hidden alley behind the church. The challenge unlocks once they arrive, so they actually walk the route instead of skimming a map.
Quiz questions
Local history, architectural detail, cultural trivia. Layer your story on top of the route so visitors leave knowing something they did not know an hour earlier.
QR missions
Hide QR codes in shop windows, on plaques, at info boards. Print once, place around the city, refresh the content per season without touching the posters.
Photo missions
Recreate a historical photo, frame the bell tower from a specific angle, find the smallest door in town. Sweet for family routes and the kind of shots that end up on social.
Routes for every audience
One platform, many flavors. Build different routes for different visitors and let them pick what fits the day.
Self-guided city tours
Replace the paper map. Visitors get a phone-based guide with quizzes, photo prompts and points along your themed routes. Less staff at the desk, more depth on the walk.
Seasonal campaigns & events
Christmas market hunts, summer routes, themed weekends, Open Heritage days. Iterate per campaign without printing anything new and reuse the same QR posters across seasons.
Heritage & cultural trails
Bring local history alive at monuments, plaques and museums. Story-driven missions that work for school trips, family outings and tourists who want more than the highlights reel.
Tools that fit how city teams work
Built so a marketing officer can launch a route on Monday and refine it on Friday.
Build it like a story
Pick the spots, write the narrative, place the QR codes. Embed images, audio and rich text so a checkpoint has atmosphere instead of being a bare question.
Connect local businesses
Make any GPS or QR checkpoint a sponsored stop. A reward, a voucher, a small discount in a local shop. Drives footfall and gives merchants a reason to back the project.
Insights stakeholders can read
Which checkpoints are played, which routes get finished, where people drop off. Hard numbers for the next council meeting instead of vibes from the front desk.
Refresh without reprinting
Swap a question, move a checkpoint, add a sponsor stop. The QR posters in town stay the same; what they unlock changes when you change it.
Common questions from city teams
What if our city does not have famous landmarks?
Often that is exactly the point. The platform shines when you build a story around lesser-known corners that paper guidebooks ignore. Local stories beat famous landmarks for engagement nine times out of ten.
How do players join?
Native app for push notifications and the best GPS experience, mobile browser if a visitor prefers not to install anything. A QR poster at the tourist office or city centre handles both.
Can local businesses sponsor checkpoints?
Yes. Any checkpoint can be a sponsored stop with a reward, voucher or discount. Useful for funding the project and tying the city game to local economic goals.
Can we run multiple routes at once?
Yes. A kids route, a history route, a food route, an evening route, all from one dashboard. Visitors pick what fits the day.
How fresh can we keep it without big effort?
Most cities refresh per season or campaign. Swap challenges, add a seasonal stop, change the theme. The signs and QR posters stay where they are; the experience behind them changes whenever you want.
