How long does the Trail take?
On average, a Trail takes about 2,5 -3 hours. During the game you can of course just grab a terrace or take a break. Then the treasure hunt will take longer. There is no maximum time in which you must complete the assignments.

Do you have to be fit for the Trail?
No, not special. You can make the Trail as short and long as you wantaken if you want to by skipping locations (e.g. a bit further away). The average length of a complete trail is about 4-6 km.

Who will win the Treasure Hunt?
If you play with multiple teams, the team with the most points wins. Each team can run its own route. Agree with each other a time where you will meet after the Trail (for example the finish). Compare your score there and the national scores.

Do I have to make reservations?
No, you can determine the day and time yourself. After you have ordered, you will receive an email with all the details. Then you decide yourself when you are going to do the Trail 24/7. So no reservation in advance.

Can the Trail also be walked in the evening?
Yes, that's possible. Although some courtyards, parks and squares can be closed in the late afternoon / evening (eg after 21:00h). Then you will not be able to reach that location and possibly not find a search query.

How do i start the game?
Arrived at the starting address, open the site/app and start the game. You can already open it at home, but not play it yet. The locations and questions are only shown once. Once played and answered they expire.

Can I start somewhere other than the starting point?
Yes you can, you can determine the order of the locations yourself.

Is the Trail wheelchair friendly?
Yes, as a rule yes. You walk through the public space. And some public areas are less easily accessible. You can always see for yourself whether you want to visit a location or skip it.

What kind of questions can I expect?
Some questions are search queries on the location and then you can find the answer there. Some questions are more (general) knowledge questions. The questions are about the city or location in a broad sense.

Are all questions the same?
No definitely not. You have open questions, multiple choice, sound questions, time assignments, search pictures, photo questions, etc.

Is it suitable for children?
Yes absolutely. The questions are diverse, the facts about the city fun. Searching for locations via GPS as well. Kids find the Qula Trails always fun.

Can I also play with 2 people?
Yes, that's really nice. 30% of our players are couples. You do the assignments together and get to know the city while walking. At the finish you compare your score with the national result. Will you be the best team in the country?

Can you play in another language?
Yes you can. Qula is available in at least 6 languages

(Dutch, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian). If you are going to play, choose the desired language before entering your personal password.

Do I need a map of the city?
No, on the website The digital map (GPS tracker) is built into the website. You can use this interactively.
Do note that your mobile browser might give you a popup with the question to share you location. You need to accept this in order to play the game.

How do you play the game?
The team (max 6 participants) appoints 1 team leader who reads the game. You use 1 smartphone per team, on which you determine the locations together and solve the questions together. That's what makes it so much fun, it's a team game.

Who is this fun for?
For day trippers, friends, families and relatives who want to visit a city 'differently', or as a staff outing.

Reviews

With its spiderweb of canals and cafe-lined streets, Utrecht has to be one of the most beautiful cities in the Netherlands. And touring it with Lucas was like walking around with a friend! His presentation wasn’t heavily scripted, like so many other tour guides we passed by. Lucas encouraged questions and discussion and was as interested in our own life experiences as we were about his city. He even carried a tub of stroopwaffle cookies to hand out when we answered questions correctly. We were lucky to have only three people on our tour, so we got our fill! The pace was relaxed and covered sites we certainly would not have discovered on our own. Highly recommended!

Lucas, our guide, was very friendly. With very curious stops, which without him would go completely unnoticed. It was so worth it!

Lucas was very nice and friendly. Gave us a very nice tour of the city including all important highlights while also giving us suggestions for less touristic bars cafes and restaurants to continue our trip!

The tour was amazing! We learned a lot about the city! At the same time had so much fun. Lucas is a great tour guide ! Looking forward for other tours with him.
