Built around 1400 as a lookout over the market. Stand at its foot: once your phone confirms you’re really there, the story unlocks.

Our agenda

Social media went global.We’re going local.

Millions of people scroll through the same global feed, and what’s happening in your own city gets lost in it. CitySeek shows you just one city: its places, its events and its people.

  1. Your city, not the whole world

    You only see what’s happening around you.

  2. Local businesses first

    Your coins go to independent cafés and shops, not to global chains.

  3. Real places, real people

    A check-in only counts if you were really there.

Pick your plan

What are you in the mood for?

A lazy afternoon, a big night out or just an excuse for coffee. Start wherever you like.

How it works

From sofa to street in three steps.

  1. Pick your thing

    A walk, an event or a café. You always see how far it is and whether it costs anything.

  2. Show up

    Your phone checks you’re really there. Then the story, the audio or your ticket opens.

  3. Keep the good bits

    Coins, photos, new favourite places. Maybe a few new friends too.

Our story

We didn’t start with an app. We started with people.

March 2026, a pop-up at Luisenplatz: the city on the walls, live music, and a room full of strangers who didn’t stay strangers. The app came after, to make more nights like that.

Who we are

Made in Darmstadt by two curious people.

We are Safa and Umut. We think technology should get you out of the house, not keep you on your phone. So we build CitySeek, and we host the events ourselves.

Good to know

What is CitySeek?

A city guide you play. It combines walking games with real stories, a calendar of local events, and rewards at independent cafés and shops. It started in Darmstadt.

Do I need to download anything?

No. CitySeek runs in your phone’s browser. Walks need your location and an internet connection. Some things, like saving your progress, need a free account.

Is it free?

Exploring is free and stays free: city walks, events, check-ins, coins and rewards. Supporter (€2.99 a month) and CitySeek Circle (€5.99) are optional. Custom games and some event tickets cost extra, and you always see the price first.

Is it only for tourists?

Not at all. CitySeek is made just as much for people who live here: students, newcomers and locals looking for something new to do this weekend.

How do rewards work?

Checking in at places and events earns coins. CitySeek Coupons shows the current offers from partner cafés and shops, and what each one costs in coins.

Can my team, venue or university join in?

Yes. Tell us what you have in mind with the form below, and we will reply personally.
