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.

Belgium

📍 13 Points of interest 🧩 41 Challenges 🌐 9 languages

In the 13th century, Ghent's wool clothed all of Europe, and its weaving guilds wielded a power you can still feel under your feet today in the Vrijdagmarkt. Here, where counts were crowned and revolts clamored for freedom, a city was forged that defied kings and emperors. Cross the watery mirror formed by Ghent's canals and delve into a labyrinth of living history. Investigate the secrets held by the Prinsenhof, the former residence of Charles V, where every stone whispers tales of lost empires. Uncover the enigmas of the Belfort Municipal Bell Tower, whose bell has been both witness and voice to centuries of triumphs and conspiracies. Take a boat ride through Ghent's canals and observe the city from a unique perspective, searching for details that only the sharpest eyes can catch. Solve the riddles hidden in the Oudheidkundig Museum, where the past intertwines with the present. Conquer the remnants of the Kasteel van het Zandeken, imagining the battles and sieges that shaped these lands. Ghent awaits you with cultural points of interest and almost 1,600 challenges. Are you ready to decipher each of its enigmas and become the master of this Flemish jewel?
