What is CuriFox and how do I start?

CuriFox is a free app for iPhone and Android that turns a walk through a city into a game. You choose how far you want to go, the app builds a route through interesting places, and at every stop a short story and a riddle about what you see are waiting.

The idea in one paragraph

The app knows places in your city that have a story. From them it builds a walking route. You walk from stop to stop, read the story at each place and answer a question about what is in front of you. Right answers and visited places give you coins, and coins build the next route. Everything you need to walk is free.

How to start

1. Get the app from the App Store or Google Play and allow location access.

2. The bar at the top asks only one thing: how long should the route be? Tap 3 to 6 km, for example.

3. The app builds a loop starting where you stand right now. Tap Build route and go.

You can walk the first route as a guest, without an account. If you want to keep coins, gems and routes, register with your e-mail address.

Where CuriFox works

Content is ready in 16 cities: Baden-Baden, Berlin, Darmstadt, Dortmund, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Koblenz, Köln, Leipzig, München, Nürnberg, Rüdesheim, Sopot, Stuttgart and Wiesbaden. Everywhere else you unlock your area on the map and the app builds routes there too. See Unlock any area.
