About this activity
Bregenz puts an opera stage in the middle of a lake every summer and seats 7,000 people on the shore to watch — the rest of the year, the city itself is the spectacle.
This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through central Bregenz on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.
- Follow clues to the Unteres Stadttor, Kapuzinerkloster, and the Molo — three landmarks that take you from the medieval gate to a lakeside pier with Alps visible across three countries
- Start whenever suits you and take all the time you need — no time limit, no pressure
- Perfect for families, couples and friend groups; photo challenges by the Bodensee are hard to beat
Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.
Around 2 hours - any group size.
The floating stage is spectacular — your phone will show you what's been here longer.

Itinerary
Starting at Kornmarktplatz 1 by the Kunsthaus museum in central Bregenz, enter your 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message into the free Explorial app and begin a self-guided trail through this compact Austrian lakeside city. At the Unteres Stadttor, the lower city gate that once controlled access to the medieval town from the lake shore, challenges probe the history of the gate and the upper town it once defended. The trail moves to the Kapuzinerkloster, the Capuchin monastery that has stood quietly at the edge of the old town since 1615 — riddles here explore the Franciscan tradition, the monastery's role during plague years, and its peaceful walled garden. At the Molo, the lakeside pier where locals gather at sunset and the Alps of three countries are visible across the water, you'll tackle questions about Lake Constance, the floating stage of the Bregenzer Festspiele, and the geography of the Bodensee. The trail takes around two hours at a comfortable pace, with no guide and no fixed schedule.
