You start on a cobbled square as the canal breathes beside you, the water daring you to look deeper into Bruges’ folded streets. The scavenger hunt guides teams through Belfort, the Markt and the quieter alleys of Jan van Eyckplein, using location-based riddles delivered by the World City Trail app. The audio commentary punctuates clues with local lore while the city itself supplies the scenery: Gothic façades, low river bridges, and long, reflective canal lines.
