Why does a window of the Dreifaltigkeitskirche (Holy Trinity Church) still have a small crack today?
Who was Folichon to Margravine Wilhelmine?
And where is the narrowest house in town?
Children and their families can explore these and many other questions in a new interactive scavenger hunt through Bayreuth.
The game was created in a collaboration between a student on the World Heritage Studies degree programme, the Tourist Information Bayreuth and TripLeap. The aim was to let people experience the town from a new perspective – not only as a well-known cultural site, but as a place full of stories, details and surprising discoveries.
While Bayreuth is known above all for the Richard Wagner Festival, the scavenger hunt deliberately focuses on the town’s smaller, often overlooked special features. Children are invited to look closely, ask questions and engage with their surroundings in a playful way.
The idea behind the game is based on the assumption that an interest in history and cultural heritage develops early – through your own discoveries, curiosity and emotional connections to places. This is exactly where the game comes in: it combines movement, puzzles and storytelling into an experience that is both entertaining and educational.
The scavenger hunt is aimed at families, visitors and locals alike, and offers an easy, accessible way to explore Bayreuth actively and playfully.
You can find the game at trip-leap.com, and it can be played free of charge during the current test phase. After that, the game can be activated for €15. The starting point is at the Tourist Information at Opernstraße 22.
