How does the Scavenger Hunt in Plauen work?

Wondering how it all works? It's simple – yet brilliantly thought out! The Digital Scavenger Hunt Plauen is based on the myCityHunt App, which you can download for free from the App Store or Google Play Store. All you need is your smartphone and mobile internet. No guide, no fixed schedule, no rigid routes – you decide when to start and how long you want to be on the move.

The process is straightforward:

  1. Book tickets: Secure your tickets through the myCityHunt website and load them into the app's wallet.
  2. Configure the tour: The ticket holder sets the number of players, teams, the desired tour, and the language.
  3. Create a lobby: A Lobby QR Code is displayed in the app, which all other participants scan to join the lobby.
  4. Form teams & choose roles: Each player selects a team and takes on an exciting role – whether Photographer, Detective, or Adventurer. During the game, everyone receives challenges suited to their role!
  5. Start playing: Everyone starts the tour together and explores Plauen on their own – navigated by the app's GPS function.

On an interactive map, you can see the various stations spread across the city. You decide which task to tackle first. Once on-site, you receive your current challenge via the app. Now it's time to keep your eyes open, combine, puzzle, and find the solution together! For each completed task, you earn points – and at the end, you can compete with teams from all over Germany in the high score.

Good to know

You can pause your scavenger hunt through Plauen at any time – for a coffee, ice cream, or a spontaneous detour to a sight that catches your eye. The app will reliably guide you back to your route afterward!

What to expect on a Scavenger Hunt in Plauen

Plauen is much more than just the cradle of Plauen lace – although this world-famous craftsmanship certainly holds a firm place in the city's history. During the Scavenger Hunt Plauen, you dive into a city that boasts over 900 years of history, impressive architecture, and surprisingly many hidden stories.

What sights await you?

The route takes you past some of the most fascinating places in Plauen. Here's a little preview of what awaits you:

  • Old Elster Bridge – One of the oldest stone bridges in Saxony and a true landmark of the city. What secret lies hidden in its arches?
  • Plauen Castle – Majestically perched above the White Elster, it tells stories from centuries of Vogtland history.
  • St. John's Church – The imposing city church with its distinctive tower is an architectural highlight you won't miss.
  • Father and Son Monument – A loving homage to the Plauen illustrator e.o.plauen and his world-famous picture story.
  • King Albert Fountain – A magnificent fountain with plenty of surprises for attentive observers.
  • Vogtland Museum Plauen – Here, the history of Vogtland comes to life – and perhaps a particularly tricky task awaits you here!

But it's not just about the big highlights. The Scavenger Hunt through Plauen also takes you to hidden corners and unknown nooks that might surprise even the most die-hard locals. You'll discover details on facades you never noticed before, hear anecdotes about the Luther Church and St. Paul's Church, and learn why the Parish Church of the Sacred Heart plays a special role in the city's history.

Especially noteworthy

In 1989, Plauen was one of the first cities where brave citizens took to the streets for the peaceful revolution – even before the famous Leipzig Monday demonstrations! You will learn about this and many other exciting historical backgrounds during your scavenger hunt.

What makes the challenges so special?
