(11 reviews)
Nuremberg, Germany

2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: German and 5 more

A carousel of marriage gone wrong, a giant brass hare and a golden fountain that grants wishes — Nuremberg's old town is stranger than fiction.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Nuremberg on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Study the Ehekarussell, the fountain that tells marriage like it is
• Meet the Dürer-Hase, the unsettling tribute to the city's great artist
• Spin the golden ring at the Schöner Brunnen for luck

Around 2 hours, any group size, available in German and English.

Franconia's capital deals a curious hand.

What to expect

Starting at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum on Kartäusergasse, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and head into the walled old town. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city.

The Ehekarussell fountain opens the route with brutal honesty: six bronze scenes of marriage from first kiss to final reckoning, based on a 16th-century poem. Riddles take their vows carefully.

The Dürer-Hase follows — a hefty, slightly nightmarish bronze homage to Albrecht Dürer's famous watercolour hare, crouched near his house below the castle.

Then the Schöner Brunnen glitters on the Hauptmarkt, forty figures high, with a brass ring that grants wishes to those who find and spin it. Trivia knows the trick.

Around two hours between city walls. The leaderboard decides who takes Nuremberg — gingerbread for all is encouraged.
