Secrets of Ghent is a walking treasure hunt to enjoy with family or friends. It starts at Korenmartk, Gent, and ends at Koophandelsplein, Gent. The 3.3 km route links 19 places and takes an estimated 120 minutes. You make your way as a team of 1 to 6 players, walking between the stages of the game.
The historic centre provides the setting for this outing, with old façades and open squares. You pass near Saint Nicholas' Church and the Municipal pavilion, whose architecture offers a visible contrast. Werregarenstraat (Graffiti alley) brings its painted walls into the route. Further on, Gravensteen recalls the city's fortified past. The route also reaches Korenlei and Saint-Michel Bridge, with views of the quays.
Gameplay alternates between observation and discussion of the riddles. You share your ideas before continuing on foot to the next stage. This format is suitable for families with participants aged 12 and over. It is also suitable for groups of friends who want to discover Ghent while playing. You combine a team activity with a visit to the city centre, among its squares and narrow streets.
