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.

City of York

United Kingdom

📍 29 Points of interest 🧩 104 Challenges 🌐 9 languages

For 2,000 years, York has been a crossroads. The Romans founded Eboracum, the Vikings conquered it as Jorvik, and their echoes still resonate in every cobblestone. Here, where Constantine the Great was proclaimed emperor, your mission is to unearth the layers of history that lie beneath your feet. It's not a city for a stroll; it's a canvas where every shadow is a clue. Cross St Helen's Square, a silent witness to millennia of intrigues and celebrations. Investigate the imposing presence of the Church of St Martin Le Grand, a beacon of faith that has withstood sieges and the passage of time. Discover the art that beats within the Queens Own Yorkshire Yeomanry Museum, a treasure trove of military stories forged in this land. Challenge your perception before the Statue of William Etty, and feel the past calling you from every corner. Explore the historic campuses of York St John University, where knowledge intertwines with ancient architecture. Solve the enigma of war memorials, like the Clifton War Memorial, whispering tales of bravery and sacrifice. York awaits you with cultural points of interest and challenges. Are you ready to decipher each of its secrets and engrave your name in its legendary history?
