Berlin

How does the game's route in the city go?

Urban Challenger is not a conventional scavenger hunt where teams complete the same stations one after the other. In our game, teams can decide for themselves which challenges they want to tackle and in what order. In addition, many challenges are not tied to a specific location in the city and can be completed at very different places. This results in a unique route through the city for each team. Start and end points as well as challenges are always placed in such a way that they are all easily reachable by foot and take into account the particularly noteworthy places in the area.

Where does the event start/end?

We can customize the starting and ending points of the city game to meet your needs. We have designated start and end points for our different game zones that are easily accessible and ideally located to begin the challenges. However, we can also meet you at your hotel or office and start the game there, or choose a convenient meeting point in a nearby park. The game will conclude at the same location where it started or at a nearby venue within walking distance, such as a beer garden or restaurant.

Is the game focused on a specific area of Berlin?

The game can be played in various locations throughout central Berlin, including Kreuzberg, Mitte, Prenzlauer Berg, Friedrichshain, Neukölln, Wedding, Moabit, Schöneberg, and Charlottenburg. We offer different editions of Urban Challenger that focus on special aspects of the city. For example, the Kreuzberg edition highlights the unique characteristics, atmosphere, and story of this special district. We also offer an edition that takes place in the touristic center, allowing you to experience sights like the Brandenburger Gate in a playful way.

App & Online Version

How can we access the online version?

In every card game box, there is a code printed on the inside that gives you free access to the online version. Sign up in our app or on our website and select the Urban Challenger Edition that you also purchased as a card game. Enter the code at check-out and payment options to get free access. However, note that you only have one access code. This means that you can only link one user profile for free with the online version and cannot register any number of users.

What is the purpose of the online version?

The card game Urban Challenger is available in both a printed and online version, with identical content. We developed the printed version because we enjoy holding the cards in our hands and passing them around in a team. However, the digital version has its own advantages, such as a score counter and timer, which can be helpful for competitive play. To fully enjoy both versions of the game, we have a special offer: access to the online version is included with every printed card game! This way, you can choose whether to play purely analog with the cards or utilize the online version as additional support. Each printed card includes a QR code that quickly takes you to the corresponding challenge in the app.

How can we play with more than one team?

If you are a large group, for example at a birthday party, a big travel group, a school class or a work outing with colleagues, it is a good idea to form several teams and compete against each other. For this you will need one game per team that you want to form, so that everyone has the same set of challenges. Choose a common starting and ending point, set a timer and get started.

How many people can play this game?

The challenges are designed for group play. You can play with a friend as a duo or with a larger group. However, if there are too many people doing the challenges together, it can become confusing and difficult to involve everyone. Therefore, for larger groups, we recommend dividing into multiple teams and holding a competition to see which team can achieve the most points. This is also how we organize our Urban Challenger events. Note that if you want to form multiple teams, you will need as many card games as the number of teams you want to form.

How can this game be played?

The Urban Challenger card game offers several game modes. You can set a time limit and attempt to complete as many challenges or score as many points as possible to give the game some drive and energy. It's also great to turn it into a competition. You can divide into multiple teams and compete against one another. Note that each team requires its own deck of cards to ensure everyone has the same challenges.
Another way to use the Urban Challenger card game is to use the challenges as inspiration for exploring your city at your own pace - for as long as you want. You can choose the challenges that you like best, or leave it up to chance and draw them randomly. You can also complete all challenges in a category in one day, spending a creative day with the "Artist" category, for example, and learning about the city's history the next day with the "Time Traveler" category.

What does it mean that this game can be played anywhere?

This Urban Challenger edition includes challenges that are not specific to any particular site or location and can be completed in any urban environment. These challenges are our all-time favorites for engaging with the city around you and entering into a dialogue with your surroundings, as they provide a lot of freedom for you to find your own way to complete them. All you need is an urban environment to use as your playground and have fun, regardless of whether it's a small or big city. Some of the challenges will have you interact with some common features found in any city, such as historical places, statues, or locals roaming the streets.
