Ghent Introduces Interactive Self-Guided City Game for Visitors and Families

A new self-guided city exploration experience in Ghent is offering visitors a flexible and interactive way to discover the historic Belgian city. Designed for families, friends, and groups, the activity uses a smartphone-based app to guide participants through key landmarks and hidden corners at their own pace.

The experience combines sightseeing with educational challenges, as users complete search assignments and answer questions related to Ghent’s streets, squares, and monuments. A built-in GPS system directs participants to points of interest, turning the city itself into an interactive learning environment.

Unlike traditional guided tours, this format gives full control to the player, allowing them to start, pause, or resume the game whenever they choose. This flexibility makes it suitable for travelers seeking a relaxed and self-directed way to explore the city without time constraints.

After booking, participants receive access instructions and can begin the experience at a designated starting point. Once logged into the app, users navigate through Ghent independently, uncovering historical facts, cultural highlights, and lesser-known locations along the way.
