Uncover the highlights in Ghent with an interactive smartphone app. Stroll through the city solving location-based riddles on this walking tour. Marvel at the Gothic-style Saint Michael's Church and the medieval Gravensteen castle. 

Uncover 10 of the most important attractions in the city as you walk. Stop and find clues at each attraction to reveal your next destination. Enjoy the challenge of using logic, imagination, observation, and team spirit to finish the game.

It is a great option if you want to visit the city's main attractions but don't want to bother planning an itinerary by yourself and want a little bit of flexibility during your day to fit in any extra experiences or do it at your own pace. The puzzles are not hard but still fun and you always have interesting information about the places and buildings included and other points nearby. My main tip is that you just really need to remember to charge your phone and have a power bank at hand, because you will need it between using the app, the GPS and your camera all day. Me and my girlfriend actually bought another "pass" for Bruges the day after we went to Ghent and plan on buying it again in the future for other cities we may visit.
