Day out with kids
Active, educational and affordable: a scavenger hunt full of puzzles through the city. The kind of screen time that actually gets everyone looking up and around.
No more “I'm bored”
A day out with kids doesn't have to mean a crowded theme park or a pricey zoo. With CiphersCity the city itself becomes the adventure: the kids hunt for clues, count, look closely and solve puzzles to crack the next code. Before you know it they've walked an hour through the city centre without asking “are we there yet?” even once.
Play at your own pace and stop for an ice cream wherever you like. They pick up a thing or two about their own city as they play — and you get a fun, affordable day without the hassle. Prefer a calmer stroll? You can also walk the same route freely, without the puzzles, as a self-guided walking tour.
