You step out of a narrow gabled arcade onto Prinzipalmarkt and the city instantaneously becomes a puzzle: coats of arms carved into stone, a church bell marking your starting time, and a phone buzzing with the first riddle. The self-guided Secrets of Münster game uses GPS cues and photo challenges to turn the city's medieval grid into a live treasure hunt — you chase clues through market squares, across cobbled lanes, and past quiet courtyards most visitors miss.
