The family outing where the kids ask to keep walking

Every family knows the pattern: the outing starts with great enthusiasm – and twenty minutes in, the first child asks when you'll finally arrive. The digital scavenger hunt flips the script: the journey itself becomes the destination. You follow a GPS route, and quiz questions unlock at real places along the way – about the statue in the market square, the old tree in the park or the historic building across the street.

The tour is created in 30 seconds: pick a distance, confirm your location, off you go. None of the preparation a classic treasure hunt demands – no writing notes, no hiding clues, no research. Instead you get a route through your neighbourhood, the city park or the nearby woods, complete with questions that only exist at exactly these spots.

Thanks to kids' mode, questions are phrased age-appropriately with clear explanations after each answer – while adults read the background info on the same phone. That's how a Sunday afternoon turns into a shared adventure where everyone learns something. One-off €1.99 per route, no matter how big the family.

What the family outing questions look like

Made for looking around, guessing and marveling – always with an explanation, examples from real tours:

Sample question 1

Look closely at the fountain: which animal sits on top of the column?

AAn eagle
A lion
CA fish

The lion stands for strength and used to be many towns' heraldic animal. Look closely and you'll often spot it again on the town hall or the old city gate!

Sample question 2

How can you tell this half-timbered house is very old? Find the hidden detail!

The numbers and marks carved into the wood above the door
BThe doorbell next to the entrance
CThe mailbox on the wall

Carpenters used to carve marks and the construction year into the timber – so-called carpenter's marks. Some houses tell their 300-year story this way.

Sample question 3

This tree is an especially old resident of the park. How old can oak trees get?

AUp to 50 years
BUp to 100 years
Up to 1,000 years

Oaks can live up to 1,000 years – this tree may have been here when your great-great-grandparents were children. Pretty impressive, right?

Sample question 4

The plaque on this house mentions a job that barely exists today. Which one?

The night watchman
BThe programmer
CThe pilot

Night watchmen used to walk the streets, put out fires, close the gates and call out the hours. Street lamps and phones do that job today – but the stories remain.

Why quiztrip is the perfect fit

Kids' mode included

Age-appropriate questions with simple wording and clear explanations – children from about 6 years old actively guess along.

No preparation needed

Unlike the classic treasure hunt: no notes, no hiding spots, no research. The route is generated automatically in 30 seconds.

Works anywhere

Outside your front door, at the holiday resort or at the grandparents': the scavenger hunt starts from your current location – worldwide.

One price for everyone

One-off €1.99 per route – whether you're three people or the whole extended family. No subscription, no per-person costs.

Exercise without complaints

Anyone who wants to reach the next waypoint keeps walking voluntarily. That's how a 3 km stroll becomes a 3 km adventure.

Learning through play

Frequently asked questions about the Family Outing

From what age is the scavenger hunt suitable for children?

Kids' mode is aimed at children from about 6 years – questions are age-appropriate with clear explanations. Younger children help look around and spot things, older ones read for themselves.

Does each child need their own smartphone?

No, one smartphone is enough for the whole family. If you like, you can open the group link on several devices – e.g. each parent teams up with a child.

How long should the route be with children?

We recommend 2–4 km, i.e. about 60–90 minutes including puzzle breaks. Even younger children manage that well – and anyone can pause and continue later at any time.

Does it work on holiday or in an unfamiliar place?

Yes, that's one of the biggest advantages: the route is generated automatically from your location – at home, at the holiday resort or while visiting someone. The questions match the places you're actually seeing.

How much does a family outing with quiztrip cost?

One-off €1.99 per route – for the whole family, regardless of how many people join. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no hidden costs.
