Bangalore runs on code and chai — but the city that built India's tech capital started a long time before the startups.
This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through central Bangalore on your smartphone, with phone-based riddles leading from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.
• Follow clues to the Vidhana Soudha, the National Military Memorial Park, and the Basavanna Statue — three landmarks tracing Bangalore's civic, military, and cultural identity
• Start whenever suits you and take all the time you need — no time limit, no fixed booking slot
• Works for families, friend groups, and colleagues; observation tasks and photo challenges keep all ages involved
Around 2 hours, any group size, available in English.
Bangalore's startup story gets told a thousand times — this trail tells the older one.

What to expect
The trail takes you through the civic heart of Bangalore, where grand post-independence monuments sit alongside the city's commercial bustle. The Vidhana Soudha — the imposing Dravidian-Gothic granite building that houses the Karnataka state legislature — features early with a riddle about its architectural symbolism. The National Military Memorial Park brings an observation task that asks you to look at the memorial details closely. The Basavanna Statue, honouring the 12th-century Kannada philosopher and social reformer, features in a photo challenge at one of the city's most recognisable landmarks. The central area is walkable and the trail moves at whatever pace suits you.
The live scoring keeps things competitive throughout — especially the observation tasks, where detail matters.
The app reveals final scores and a ranking when the last task is done. Bangalore has more layers than most visitors reach; the trail gets two hours into them.
