Turn your school trip, activity day or project day into an active city experience with our digital Dresden City Rally. Students compete in small teams, explore Dresden independently and try to collect as many points as possible within 150 minutes.
The experience is about much more than the final result. The groups need to find their way around the city, use their available time wisely and decide together which stops they want to visit. They solve puzzles, observe their surroundings, answer questions and develop their own strategy for the route.
In this way, the city rally combines movement, teamwork, historical content and playful challenges. Instead of discovering Dresden as part of a traditional guided tour, students become active participants and explore the city in their own way.
The School Edition is particularly suitable for school trips, activity days, graduation trips, project groups and youth groups looking for a varied activity in Dresden.
For companies, adult groups and company outings, we recommend the Dresden Scavenger Hunt Teams Edition.
The Scavenger Hunt is set up exclusively for your class or youth group. Only the teams taking part in your event appear in the high score. Other players and external groups are not included in the ranking.
This creates a clear and motivating competition within your own class. Once the 150 minutes have ended, you can see how many points each team has collected and which group organised itself most effectively.
A separate high score and showdown link allows you to display the results on a smartphone, tablet or larger screen. You can review the rankings together, highlight creative solutions and crown the winning team at the end.
This gives the rally a clear structure: everyone starts together, the small groups explore Dresden independently and the class meets again afterwards for the final evaluation.
Once the rally begins, the same countdown starts for all teams. Within 150 minutes, each group tries to collect as many points as possible. There is no fixed route.
Instead, numerous stops are available throughout Dresden. Each team decides which locations to visit and in which order to complete the tasks. This leads to different routes and individual game strategies.
Some groups focus on short distances and completing a large number of stops. Others deliberately choose tasks worth more points or concentrate on specific areas of the city. Each team must continuously weigh up its options: Is the next stop still worth the journey? Is there enough time left for more tasks? Or would a nearby challenge be the smarter choice?
This freedom of route planning means that the groups do not all follow the same path side by side. The teams spread out across the city and largely shape the competition themselves.
All teams begin at the same time and play against the same countdown. A variety of stops is available, and they do not have to be visited in a fixed order.
The students plan their own route. They need to decide which paths make sense, how many tasks they can complete within the available time and when it may be better to skip a stop.
This leads to different strategies. Some groups choose stops located close together, while others accept longer walking distances in order to reach tasks worth more points. During the rally, the teams regularly need to reassess their plan and adapt it to the remaining time.
This freedom of choice turns the students into active participants. They do not simply follow a predefined route, but take shared responsibility for their strategy and result.
Dresden offers many opportunities to explore history, architecture, culture and urban development. During the rally, students encounter famous landmarks as well as smaller details that can easily be overlooked during an ordinary city walk.
The tasks cover topics such as the Saxon electors, Augustus the Strong, Dresden’s Baroque Old Town and the reconstruction of the city. At the same time, the teams examine buildings, squares, monuments and visible traces of Dresden’s history.
The information is linked directly to the locations. This means that students do not simply learn isolated facts, but discover historical connections in the places where they can actually be seen.
In this way, Dresden becomes more than just the setting for the rally. It becomes a lively place for learning and discovery.
A variety of task types awaits the teams at the individual stops. These include knowledge questions, observation tasks, puzzles and smaller challenges that require close attention.
Many answers can only be found when the students examine their surroundings carefully and share their ideas within the group. Different abilities can contribute to the team’s success: some students may be good at navigation, while others notice important details, develop solutions or keep track of the remaining time.
Creative photo and team challenges provide additional variety. These tasks require imagination, cooperation and sometimes a little confidence.
The combination of knowledge, movement and creativity encourages students to engage actively with Dresden while enjoying a shared experience outside the classroom.
The photos and videos submitted during the creative challenges are collected in a private event gallery. After the scavenger hunt, you can view the content together and make it available to your group.
The gallery not only shows the locations the teams visited, but also captures unusual ideas, funny situations and memorable moments. It creates a lasting reminder of the school trip, activity day or excursion to Dresden.
The images can also be used later for classroom follow-up activities, presentations or a shared review of the trip.
The rally playfully encourages:
The experience is not only about identifying the winning team. The way a group works together, responds to challenges and reaches decisions is also an important part of the activity.
Depending on the students’ age and the school’s requirements, the groups should be accompanied by adults or checked at regular intervals.
The scavenger hunt can be integrated easily into your daily programme. You book the required number of accesses according to the number of small groups you are planning. You can then decide when the rally should begin.
You do not need a game host from us and are not tied to the schedule of another group. The rally is played on the students’ or accompanying adults’ own smartphones or tablets. In most cases, one suitable device per team is sufficient.
Before the start, you divide the class into small groups and choose a shared meeting point for the beginning and the return. Once all teams are ready, the rally starts simultaneously.
After 150 minutes, the groups meet again and you can review the results together.
The digital Dresden Scavenger Hunt for School Groups is particularly suitable for:
The challenge becomes particularly exciting when at least two or three teams compete against each other. This creates a motivating competition without losing the shared learning and experience-based character of the activity.
The Dresden Scavenger Hunt for school groups combines a city tour with a digital team competition. Students move independently through the city, solve a variety of tasks and experience history directly at the relevant locations.
Along the way, they collect more than just points. They learn to communicate, take responsibility within their group and work together towards a shared goal.
This turns a traditional school excursion into an active programme in which Dresden, movement, teamwork and playful learning come together.
