A crisp morning in Hasselt, the cobbles still cool underfoot and terraces filling with the smell of fresh coffee — this is where a city walk becomes a game. Participants follow an app-guided trail that threads through narrow streets, past a Baroque basilica and contemporary Z33 galleries, solving puzzles that point to the hiding place of the so-called Hasselt Harasser.
