Turn Enschede into a playground with a self-guided e-scavenger hunt. Use a smartphone app to solve location-based puzzles, visit local museums and monuments, and explore the city at your own pace.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You tap the app, step onto the Oude Markt and the city loosens its ordinary shape into a playable map. Streets nudge you toward discoveries: a synagogue plaque that holds a quiet history, the curved light inside St. James Church, and the hulking modernity of the Grolsch Veste stadium. The game stitches these points together with quiz prompts and photo tasks so you’re exploring on mission rather than on a passive route.
