Konstanz Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt
Overview
A lake, a legend and a town the bombs never touched — Konstanz kept its medieval looks and its sense of humour.

• Decode the Kaiserbrunnen, the fountain that pokes fun at emperors
• Find the Haus zum Hohen Hafen, called the 'cradle of Prussia'
• Stand on Münsterplatz, where a council once chose a pope
Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.

What To Expect
Starting at the Marktstätte, Konstanz's old-town market square, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Travel Marketing chat message, and set off through streets the war never touched. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city.
The Kaiserbrunnen opens the fun — a fountain crowded with satirical bronzes that tease four emperors and one very smug peacock. Riddles join the mockery.
The Haus zum Hohen Hafen follows, the patrician house remembered as the 'cradle of Prussia' for a fateful noble birth within. Trivia checks the family tree.
Then Münsterplatz spreads before the cathedral where the Council of Constance ended a papal schism — and condemned Jan Hus.
Around two hours between lake and history. The leaderboard elects its own winner — no schism expected.
