Description

Colombo moves fast — markets, mosques, temples, and modernism all within walking distance of each other. This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Colombo on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time. • Hunt down clues at Nelum Pokuna Art Street and the Gangarama Seema Malaka, a floating temple that sits at the edge of Beira Lake • Explore at your own pace across a city where colonial architecture and contemporary culture meet at every corner • The photo tasks and trivia challenges work just as well for solo explorers as they do for larger groups Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app. Around 2 hours - any group size. Colombo's been a trading port for centuries — consider this your cargo: local knowledge.
