How it worksSee it in action
What is CuriFox?
CuriFox is a free guide to the city you live in or the one you are visiting. Tell it where you want to start and where you want to go, and it draws a walking route through the most interesting places in between.
Every stop comes with a short story and a small visual riddle, so a normal walk becomes a quiet adventure through the culture and history of your streets.
How it works
-
Pick two points
Tap a start and a destination on the map — or ask for a round trip that brings you back home. CuriFox connects remarkable places into one walkable path and shows you the way.
-
Or choose from hundreds of existing routes
Find an existing route that suits your mood – a quick coffee break, a deep dive into the history of your district, or a challenging, quiz-level route for the intellectually curious
-
Walk, discover and earn
At each place you reach, unlock its story and a small question about what you see. Answer questions, collect coins and gems, and finish the route with a final quiz about the district. Unlock other cities with steps made during your walks.
-
Unlock any area and schedule routes
You can unlock any area, if it's not a big city or not officially available yet. With points available around you, set up a schedule to get new routes through them any time you usually walk: with a dog, a child, jogging, or just a nice walk alone.
Economics
You can walk every route and read every story without paying a cent. After registering, you receive enough coins for several routes. By completing routes and answering questions, you earn more coins. As you walk, your steps contribute to a journey toward the next city, which you can unlock once you reach it.
Of course, you can accelerate your progress, instantly unlock cities, and access premium routes by purchasing gems. But even gems can sometimes be earned as a reward for your efforts!
- No subscription to walk and explore.

Ideas for your next walk
- Unlock any area: a small adventure five minutes from your door Your own neighbourhood, your village, the place you are visiting: pick an area on the map and CuriFox builds routes there. Since October 2026 the app is no longer limited to the big cities. And if you like, it sends you a new route in your area every day.
- Free self-guided walking tours by app, in 16 cities Search for a free walking tour and you find two very different things: a tour with a guide who works for tips, and a self-guided tour on your phone. Here is how both work, what they really cost and when each one fits.
