Let's clear the air right off the bat – Dortmund is more than just a city obsessed with the beautiful game, although the black and yellow frenzy of football is pretty much a constant companion. Embark on a myCityHunt Scavenger Hunt and you'll surely catch the football fever, with the Signal Iduna Park and the German Football Museum as just a couple of tributes to the city's passion for the sport. But fear not, even if football isn't your cup of tea, the Dortmund Scavenger Hunt promises oodles of fun for everyone!
The myCityHunt Scavenger Hunt in Dortmund is special for a bunch of reasons. First off, the city itself serves as a spectacular backdrop for this interactive adventure. The entire downtown area becomes your playground. You'll team up with your favorite humans, whether it's friends or family, and together you'll form an unstoppable scavenger hunt squad. It's a game perfectly suited for groups of all sizes, big or small.
All you need to kick-start this team adventure is a smartphone with a full battery and mobile internet. Through the myCityHunt app, you'll navigate from one location to the next, with multimedia content popping up on your screens to teach you about historical spots, notable figures, and the rich history of this Ruhr metropolis.
To ensure you don't get lost, even if you're not a local from Aplerbeck to Hombruch, you'll appoint a game leader to guide you, smartphone in hand. Plus, everyone gets to play a unique role – be it the team photographer, architect, or nature enthusiast.
During your myCityHunt Scavenger Hunt, you'll stumble upon the Dortmunder U, a beacon of art and culture. Once home to Germany's largest brewery, it now hosts a variety of events, cultural offerings, and exhibitions. Don't miss the Museum of Art and Cultural History, where you can marvel at the evolution from ancient times to the present day.
Before the region's structural transformation, the Ruhr area was a coal mining hub. One of the relics is the decommissioned hard coal mine in the northwest of Dortmund, now a museum where you can delve into the social and cultural history of mining in the Ruhr area. The scavenger hunt offers a playful approach to learning about Dortmund's history, dating back to its first mention as "Throtmanni" in 882.
Shopaholics will also feel right at home as Dortmund boasts one of the largest and oldest main shopping streets in Germany! However, the myCityHunt Scavenger Hunt is also a perfect way to see the city from perspectives other than the usual ones!
At each station, you'll be greeted with intriguing tasks that immerse you deeper into the city's history and culture. The challenges are diverse, from deciphering inscriptions to finding symbols. If you can logically piece together all the clues, you're on your way to cracking the code. Don't forget to snap some team photos – these will end up in your private online gallery for a post-game trip down memory lane.
After all that excitement, if you need a breather, take in the city views from Dortmund's highest point, the Florian Tower. Affectionately known as "Langer Lulatsch" by locals, this landmark towers at 209 meters and can be spotted from almost anywhere in the city during your myCityHunt Scavenger Hunt.
There's a whole lot of thrilling discoveries waiting for you. So, set off on a myCityHunt Scavenger Hunt to chase points and top the leaderboard! Afterward, a diverse gastronomic scene is the perfect place to toast to your scavenging success!
