Mother’s Day Idea: A Qugato City Game She’ll Love

Share:

Looking for a Mother’s Day gift that goes beyond the usual flowers and chocolates?

This year, surprise your mum with an experience she won’t forget: a self-guided city game by Qugato. Whether she loves puzzles, walking, or quality time with family, this gift is packed with fun, discovery, and real connection.

Why a Qugato City Game is the Perfect Mother’s Day Gift

Unique & Personal

Instead of something material, give her something meaningful — time together. Whether you’re just the two of you or bringing the whole family, Qugato city games are designed to spark teamwork and create shared moments you’ll talk about long after.

Discover a City Together

Choose from cities like Amsterdam, Alkmaar, Utrecht, Leeuwarden, Den Bosch, and many more. Each game leads you through beautiful streets, quirky corners, and hidden spots that even locals often miss — all while solving fun clues along the way.

Flexible & Stress-Free

No fixed time slots or time pressure. All you need is a smartphone and the freedom to start when you want.

Need a break mid-game? Just close the app and resume later — your progress is saved automatically. Time is only tracked while solving a challenge, so you can pause for coffee, lunch, or sightseeing without stress.

How It Works

You can book last-minute or plan ahead. In just three easy steps, you’ll receive your ticket and can start whenever suits you:

1. Book your ticket

Book your ticket here. You will receive your ticket in email.

2. Get our App

3. Start playing

Where will you take on the challenge? The city game City Detective by Qugato is now available in 19 cities in the Netherlands. Discover all our city games here and book your ticket.

Make the Day Extra Special

The beauty of a Qugato city game? You can shape it around your mum’s personality. Is she someone who enjoys peace and nature? Pause the game mid-route for a relaxing spring picnic — think fresh bread, strawberries, and lemonade in the sun. More of a foodie? Plan your adventure around a charming café or lunch stop.

Many of our games take you through districts full of delightful surprises: vintage shops, hidden courtyards, street art, and weekend flower markets. The game becomes a starting point for spontaneous, meaningful moments.

Want to make a full day of it? Combine the game with a museum visit or a local event. Check the city’s Mother’s Day weekend calendar for pop-up markets, exhibitions, or live music. Tip: Check the UITagenda of the city you are going to in advance. Around Mother’s Day there are often fun things to do.

And don’t worry about timing. Thanks to the pause feature, you can play entirely at your own rhythm. No rush, no stress — just time well spent together.

Leuk dat het niet de standaard toeristische bezienswaardigheden zijn en dat je zelfs als doorgewinterde Amsterdammer zo nog iets nieuws leert over je stad. Was soms ook nog best een beetje puzzelen.

Superleuke ervaring met Qugato in Amersfoort. De app werkt supermakkelijk. Mooie wandeling, en hele interessante stad! Ik was niet zo bekend in Amersfoort, het was erg informatief. Leuk voor een citytrip of gewoon een uitje met vrienden of collega's.
Tom.deWit
City Detective Tilburg
The puzzles were custom made for the city. Quite entertaining. I had lots of fun. Especially questions were you had to look around to, for example, numbers on different buildings. Not to complicated but still entertaining. The app is designed well. Compliments.
