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.

Cape Town

South Africa

📍 33 Points of interest 🧩 106 Challenges 🌐 9 languages

In 1652, Jan van Riebeeck, leading the Dutch East India Company, founded the first European settlement in sub-Saharan Africa in this very bay, transforming a provisioning point into an epicenter of stories. Today, Cape Town challenges you to unearth the echoes of that founding and every layer of history that followed. Prepare for an immersion in the city where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans collide, and the past and present vibrate on every corner.
