e-Scavenger hunt Edinburgh: Explore the city at your own pace

Edinburgh Self-Guided E-Scavenger Hunt Offers Interactive City Exploration

A new self-guided e-scavenger hunt is offering visitors and locals a playful way to explore Edinburgh’s historic streets and landmarks using just a smartphone. Designed for families, friends, and groups, the activity combines sightseeing with interactive challenges that reveal facts about the city’s heritage.

Using a GPS-enabled app, participants navigate through key squares, streets, and historic sites while completing quizzes and mini-tasks at each stop. The flexible format allows users to start, pause, or resume the experience at any time, making it suitable for a relaxed and personalised exploration of the city.

The activity is designed for groups of up to six people and is accessible for a wide range of participants, including those with strollers, wheelchairs, or hearing impairments. No physical guide is required, as all instructions and navigation are provided through the digital platform.

After booking, users receive login details to begin the experience at a designated starting point. The format encourages teamwork, problem-solving, and discovery, offering an engaging alternative to traditional guided tours while showcasing Edinburgh’s landmarks in an interactive and modern way.
