Turn Assen into a playable map with a self-guided e-scavenger hunt. Using a smartphone app, teams answer location-based questions, visit museums, parks and squares, and discover local history at their own pace.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You start on a cobbled square a few steps from the Drents Museum, smartphone in hand and a route that you control. The app nudges you toward alleyways with row houses, across open market places and under the canopy of Asserbos, where the trees lean in and point out quieter paths. This is a city played at walking pace: questions, photo tasks and location-based clues replace a guide's monologue.
