Istanbul Scavenger Hunt
Race across two continents in a single hunt! AI-generated riddles send your crew from the mighty dome of Hagia Sophia down into a sunken palace of 336 columns, through the lantern-lit Grand Bazaar, up Galata Tower, and onto a ferry across the Bosphorus.
Hunt Across Two Continents
Ditch the guidebook. The AI threads clues through imperial icons AND the spice-scented market lanes, mosaic-tiled passages, and seagull-swirled ferry docks that make Istanbul feel like two cities in one.
Real Landmarks, Clever Riddles
Every riddle points at one real place - a dome that outlived empires, a bazaar with 4,000 shops, a tower that watches two continents. Crack it, find it, and sprint onward through 1,500 years of history.
Phones Out, Race On
Split into teams, scan the QR code at each landmark, and watch the live leaderboard scramble. First crew to board the Bosphorus ferry claims bragging rights on two continents at once.
Iconic Stops You'll Explore
Real sights your hunt can weave through β snap a team photo at each one.

Example Clues
"For fifteen hundred years I've stood while empires rose and fell - a church, a mosque, a museum, then a mosque again as well. My rose-pink walls and giant dome still stop the crowds today - your next clue hides beneath the vault where emperors came to pray."
"Four thousand shops, sixty-one streets, a maze of glow and gleam, with carpets, lanterns, silver, spice - a treasure hunter's dream. I've traded since the fourteen-hundreds, older than them all - your next clue hides where merchants call through vaulted, lamp-lit halls."
"I'm not a street, I'm not a square - I'm water, wide and blue, with Europe on one glittering shore and Asia in my view. The seagulls chase my ferries while the tea glasses all clink - your journey ends upon the strait where two great continents link."
