A hilltop castle, a sculpture-dotted park and a running joke that the city doesn't exist — Bielefeld is very real, and very playable.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Bielefeld on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Wander the Alter Markt and its gabled merchant houses • Roam the Skulpturenpark, open-air art beneath the castle hill • Climb to the Sparrenburg, the fortress above the rooftops

Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app. Around 2 hours - any group size.

Proof at last: Bielefeld exists — the leaderboard will confirm it.

What you'll do

Starting at Jahnplatz, Bielefeld's central hub, you'll open the Explorial app, e
nter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and head for the old town. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city. The Alter Markt gathers Renaissance gables around the theatre, café tables filling the gaps. Riddles knock on the merchant houses' carved doors. The Skulpturenpark follows on the slopes below the castle — modern sculpture scattered across lawns, each piece a potential clue. Then the Sparrenburg earns the climb: the 13th-century fortress whose tower and underground passages have watched over Bielefeld — which, riddles confirm, definitely exists. Around two hours from square to summit. The leaderboard renders the verdict; the conspiracy is finally settled.
