How it works GeoCats

The city is the board: real places, cultural challenges and a golden rule — the answer cannot be googled from the couch.

Choose your game

That's the way to play

  1. 1 Buy and get your code right away. No apps: played from the mobile browser.
  2. 2 The map guides you on foot to each place, with distance, time and warning of "you have arrived".
  3. 3 Watch the site and solve the challenge. GPS checks that you're really there — looking is the only help you need.
  4. 4 Add points, chain combos and end up with your summary and collage of photos to share.

Alone or as a team

The 90 min and 24 h sessions are played individually or in team mode (up to 6 people with one mobile per team) — each mode with its price. Are you more? Several teams, and to compete with each other.

Map: 2D, 3D and Real

Light 2D map by default, 3D camera view following your path and, in selected cities, Real mode: 3D photorealist built with LiDAR data. The game chooses only the best for your mobile.

10 types of challenge

Multiple choice, true/false, free answer, fill in the gap, creative photo, timeline, match, point on the map, choose the right image and texts to read calmly in front of the place. And if you get stuck, each challenge has up to 3 clues.

In the year 1088, while Europe slumbered in its medieval lethargy, Bologna ignited the flame of knowledge, founding the world's oldest continuously operating university. Today, that same city vibrates beneath your feet, waiting for you to unearth its ancient secrets. Cross the porticoes that stretch for kilometers, declared a World Heritage Site, and feel the echo of centuries of students and thinkers. Investigate the depths of the Biblioteca Salaborsa, where Roman ruins whisper stories to you under glass. Discover the majestic Fountain of Neptune, a masterpiece that defies time, and decipher the enigmas held within its iconography. Every cobblestone, every archway, draws you into a mission. Uncover the striking memory of the Museo per la Memoria di Ustica, a tangible reflection on tragedy. Conquer the Museo di Palazzo Poggi, where collections of anatomy and obstetrics will reveal the scientific audacity of an era. Observe the statue of the irreverent Freak Antoni, a symbol of the free spirit that permeates this city. Bologna has cultural points of interest and challenges awaiting you. Every step earns XP, every correct answer brings you closer to the next level. Are you ready to unearth the Bologna that few know?
