Reinventing

city discovery

Meet the team who will awaken your curiosity, help you explore, encourage you to play and will help you to learn more about the city.

Fall in love with any city

see it like you’ve never seen it before

Secret City Trails is reinventing how we explore and enjoy cities. We do so through playful Discovery Walks in 50+ cities in Europe. Why? Because we believe in playfulness for awakening anyone’s curiosity. On our Walks, you serendipitously discover new places, notice little details in your surroundings – and learn about the city. You’ll gain a truly new perspective on city discovery.
“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.”
Irish poet, W.B. Yeats

A random pick out of our local creators

Callum and Philippa

Hi, we’re Callum and Philippa, travel bloggers from Jersey! We love riddles, puns and travelling, when we finished the Munich trail, we knew that St Helier’s history would be the perfect backdrop for a game! We know that the best way to discover a city is to be shown around by a local, let us show you our home with Historic St Helier: Statues, Sailors and Soldiers.

Monique

Hola! My name is Monique, and I have been living in Alicante since 2006. I run a business called ‘Alicante Like a Local,’ where I help tourists find the best hotspots in this remarkable city! I’m taking you on this city trail to share the coolest city facts with you. From food, drinks, and ice creams; buildings, giant trees and the toughest yacht race around the world. Playing this game, you´ll see all the hidden gems and wonders that Alicante has to offer!

Kate and Kieran

Hiya! We are Kieran and Kate from Liverpool. We are both locals (or ‘Scousers’) and we can’t wait to show you our beautiful city! We have created guides, maps and pub crawls locally and would love to share with you some of the hidden gems of Liverpool that we’ve found along the way. We have spent a lot of time travelling around some amazing cities in Europe, and are also lovers of games, challenges and puzzles – so Secret City Trails is the perfect crossover for us. We hope you enjoy!

Frans

Hoi, I am Frans. I was born and raised in a small village close to Amsterdam. I studies physics in Amsterdam and ended up in Maastricht working for a medical device company. Around 2000 I decided to change my careerd and started an event agency TreaT, catering for business events in Maastricht. In 2013 I created CityGoose citygames in the Netherlands; self-guided city discovery games with a physical game. In 2022 we acquired Secret City Trails, which is like the next logical step to expand my discovery ambitions. I love board games, puzzles and good food and hope you enjoy the different discovery walks I made.
