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 1565, after repelling an Ottoman siege that threatened to wipe Europe off the map, the Order of the Knights Hospitaller decided to fortify the Sciberras Peninsula and build an invincible city. In GeoCats, that city is your board. Prepare for the ultimate game in Europe's smallest and most densely monumental capital. Pass through the City Gates, dissected by Renzo Piano, and feel yourself entering a labyrinth of living history. Every step on the pavement is a whisper of the Great Siege. Investigate St. John's Co-Cathedral, where Caravaggio watches you from the shadows, while the tombs of the Grand Masters hide enigmas beneath your feet. Discover the secrets of the Grand Master's Palace, whose imposing architecture still resonates with decisions that changed the course of empires. What relics or documents do its walls still guard? Conquer the Upper Barrakka Gardens and gaze upon the Grand Harbour, the very naval stage of legendary battles. Explore the steep streets, where every Maltese balcony is an eye watching you. Solve the challenges awaiting you in Fort St. Elmo, a bastion that symbolizes the unwavering resistance of an island. Valletta has cultural points of interest to unearth and challenges waiting for you. Are you ready to decipher each of its mysteries?
