Stuttgart: Self-guided scavenger hunt for families

How does the scavenger hunt work? You will receive our scavenger hunt box by post — to your home or directly to your hotel in Stuttgart. It contains everything you need for the scavenger hunt. You should bring your own pen. But that's when you're ready to go! The first map contains instructions with the starting point and directions. Once there, you open the first envelope, which contains information and further instructions. Envelope by envelope, you will get from station to station in stages. A total of 8 stations await you, where you can learn something about the respective tourist attraction, do tasks and activities and move around the city in a completely relaxed way.

The special thing about the scavenger hunt: The highlight is Lili & Oscar. The two lovingly illustrated mascots are your guides through the tour. The two native Stuttgart residents tell you a lot about the nature of Swabia and give you fun facts and secret insider knowledge about their city. Always with a wink and a (more or less) good joke on the lips to keep all family members happy. Speaking of lips, you can certainly learn a bit of Swabian on the go. Because the StadtLandTour — scavenger hunts along the way are bursting with local color and dialect. You will see that you have rarely gone on a sightseeing tour with your children so quickly and in a good mood!

Bonus rounds: On your way through Stuttgart city center, you'll pass by beautiful places that aren't covered in a scavenger hunt. Along the way, we'll give you tips on what's worth seeing along the way — and you'll then decide spontaneously whether you want to start the scavenger hunt for a visit to a museum, a playground or in the park, or whether you want to finish playing right away.

At the end, of course, there is a surprise waiting for you. Assuming you've solved all the puzzles and figured out the answer. But don't worry about failure! Lili&Oskar will of course give you helpful tips along the way.

A few things on our own behalf: The scavenger hunt is not an extensive city guide. It takes you to the most beautiful places in Stuttgart, gives information and tips, encourages you to see and participate and wants to inspire and entertain first and foremost. We hope that you and the two funny mascots Lili & Oscar will take a different look at the city of Stuttgart, get to know the essence of Stuttgart and see a few things that might inspire you to think and read further. That's why you can expect not only stupid sightseeing knowledge in the boxes, but also a wide potpourri of puzzles, jokes, language, local color and typical Swabian humor.

The boxes are made of metal. Simply because it is much more stable and protects the cards, should it rain or the box fall off. To make the whole thing more sustainable, we recommend that you reuse the boxes later. As a pen box, for example. Or as a souvenir box for your trip to Stuttgart, in which you can store tickets, photos and notes.

For children aged 7 to 14 years. For families who want to discover Stuttgart and for Stuttgart residents who want to show their children their beautiful city. As a gift for grandma and grandpa who discover Stuttgart with their grandchildren and for the favorite aunt and godfather who want to experience something together with the children. For everyone who likes to puzzle and experience the Swabian metropolis away from the playground and ice cream parlour.
