How does the Scavenger Hunt in Olsztyn work?

The technology behind the Digital Scavenger Hunt Olsztyn is as simple as it is ingenious. All you need is your smartphone, the myCityHunt app from the App Store or Google Play Store, and mobile internet. No paperwork, no guide breathing down your neck—you are completely free to set your own pace.

And here's how it works: The player who booked the tickets via the myCityHunt website loads them into their wallet in the app. There, they configure the tour—number of players, number of teams, desired tour, and language. A lobby QR code is then generated, which all other participants simply scan to join the lobby. Then everyone selects a team and joins it. The next step is really exciting: Each player chooses a role—for example, photographer, detective, or adventurer. During the game, each player receives individual challenges matching their role. Then everyone starts the tour together!

On an interactive map, you will see the different stations scattered across the city of Olsztyn. Which station do you head to first? That's up to you! Once you arrive, you receive your current task via the app. Now it's time to: Keep your eyes open, put your heads together, and solve puzzles together. GPS navigation safely guides you through the streets and alleys—and if you want to make a detour in between, no problem. The app will bring you back on the right track of your Scavenger Hunt Olsztyn anytime.
