What happens at the stations on the way?

A route is a chain of stations. At each one you walk to the point on the map, then the story opens and a riddle about what you see in front of you. At the end the app counts what you achieved.

Opening a station

Walk to the point the map shows. While you are too far away, the station card says: You are not there yet. As soon as your position is close enough, the station unlocks, you get one coin, and the story about the place appears.

The riddle

After the story comes a multiple-choice question. It is about something you can see at this place, so look around before you answer. A right answer gives two coins. Under every question you can vote once on whether it was good; that gives a coin too.

The hidden place and the end

Some routes end with a hidden place you are meant to guess from the clues; a right guess gives four coins. When all stations are answered the route is finished and you get two bonus coins. The route stays in your list in the profile.

With friends or as a group

One phone per group is enough: one person holds it and reads out loud, everyone guesses. Several groups walk the same route on their own phones and compare right answers at the finish; there is no shared leaderboard across phones.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the station say You are not there yet?
Your position is still too far from the point. Walk closer; with GPS on, the station opens by itself.
What happens on a wrong answer?
You get no coins for that question, the route continues normally.
Do I have to finish a route in one day?
No. It stays in your route list and you can continue later.
Can I skip a station?
You can walk on to the next station; the skipped one then gives no coins.
