München Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt
Overview
Beer gardens, glockenspiel bells and a market that feeds a whole city — Munich's centre is Gemütlichkeit with a game attached.
This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Munich on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.
• Graze through the Viktualienmarkt and its chestnut-shaded beer garden
• Raise imaginary steins at the Hofbräuhaus, the world's most famous tavern
• Sweep across Odeonsplatz, Munich's Italian-flavoured grand square
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.
Around 2 hours - any group size.
O'zapft is — the hunt is tapped.

What To Expect
Starting at Viktualienmarkt 3, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and [BRAND] chat message, and dive into Munich's beloved food market. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city.
The Viktualienmarkt sets a delicious opening pace — 140 stalls, a maypole and a beer garden where all six Munich breweries take turns. Riddles pair well with a pretzel.
The Hofbräuhaus follows, three storeys of brass bands and litre steins since 1589. Trivia covers regulars ranging from Mozart to the odd empress.
Then Odeonsplatz opens wide, with the Feldherrnhalle's stone lions and the Theatinerkirche's yellow towers lending Florentine drama to Bavaria.
Around two hours through the city's heart. Winners collect their glory — and arguably a Maß — nearby.
