A Smartphone Walking Tour...

Whether it's a school trip, a school excursion or a day out - a guided city tour is always a good idea for school classes.
Classical guided walking tours are sometimes more, sometimes less suitable for school classes, depending on how the city guide adapts to his audience. However, one challenge remains: In essence, classic city tours are consumed passively by the school class and are not very interactive.

A fixed time frame and schedule offers little room and flexibility for individual interests in a classic city tour. All students follow the fixed schedule.

Peryscope gets rid of these pain points by offering interactive walking tours as smartphone scavenger hunts, which allow students to explore the city independently with a modern, digital approach.

play and learn about the city
...educational and fun!

Peryscope walking tours are interactive scavenger hunts on the smartphone: In small groups, teams explore the city on their own. Within the framework of an exciting story, the students answer questions and solve puzzles to play their way through the city.

Peryscope smartphone city tours are enriched with numerous media in the form of voice messages, pictures and videos that enrich the gameplay and convey background information and city history.

Larger groups of students are divided into teams of 4-5 people, who then play together. The tasks and riddles of the scavenger hunt can only be solved as a group - thus strengthening the team spirit. A competition is also easily possible: with statistics on the duration of the tour and the number of clues needed, a winning team can be chosen at the end.
