Transavia Ventures, the investment arm of Transavia, invests in Secret City Trails. These are games that allow you to discover the best places in a city by following clues and solving riddles via a web app on your mobile phone. Secret City Trails is the fifth company in which Transavia Ventures invests. In addition to an investment of € 200,000, Transavia itself offers Secret City Trails in its own Transavia Tips app, the mobile inspiration platform for Transavia passengers.
Discover the nicest places in a city through play
“Secret City Trails offers a new but above all very fun way to get to know a city better,” says Kristina Palovicova, CEO of Secret City Trails. Secret City Trails are now available in more than 50 European cities. Players choose the desired city and route via the website and then receive an email with information about the starting point and a link to the web app. From the start of the walking tour, the player receives all kinds of clues and riddles via the web app that must be solved and that lead to the most beautiful places in the city with interesting information about all kinds of details. You can play in teams of one to five people, or in larger groups divided into teams. The games are now played by both tourists and locals who want to rediscover their own city. The trails are also suitable for students who discover the city during an introductory week or active company outings.
Local information
The unique thing about Secret City Trails is that the walking tours are made by local experts. The platform provides simple support for developing the walking game. The local experts receive compensation for creating a secret city trail and for each time the game is purchased and played. The local experts are therefore happy to continue to maintain and update the game.
Above all, it's a lot of fun
'Secret City Trails are super fun games to play. Both for young and old and very suitable for groups of friends or families. It therefore fits perfectly with Transavia's 'low cost, feel good' philosophy," says Nico Gielen, investment lead at Transavia Ventures.
With Transavia Tips, the traveler is informed and inspired about all kinds of new and interesting options during a city trip. And Secret City Trails is the perfect example of how fun it can be to discover a city using new technology and your mobile phone.
