Frequently asked questions

Is this a self-guided architecture tour of Copenhagen?
Yes. You play on your phone while the app leads you through 14 stops, from old towers and churches to modern offices, a cinema and the Planetarium. At each one you hear the story of the building and solve a puzzle based on what is in front of you, as if you were an architect gathering ideas for a pavilion.
Where does the walk start and finish, and how long does it take?
It starts at Rundetårn and finishes at the Planetarium, so it does not end where it began. The route is about 2.1 km, and most players take around 90 minutes including walking and puzzles. You can pause at any point and continue later.
Does the route pass Copenhagen City Hall?
Yes. The Rådhus is one of the stops, reached after Vor Frue, the court building and Stutterigade. From there the route continues past Dansk Industri, Axel Tower, the Palads cinema and the SAS building before finishing at the Planetarium.
Is it free, and can we play as a group without booking?
It is free to play. There is no group to join and no time slot to book, so you can start whenever you like, alone or with friends, and follow the route together at your own pace.
