Ready for a grand tour of Europe? The continent is a stunning mix of ancient history and modern energy, and its capital cities are the best place to see it all. We’ve curated a list of 5 distinct capitals from our game, each with its own unique atmosphere and set of clues.

This is just a small sample of our full European collection. Use these to test your detective skills, and then jump into the game to discover the rest!

1. London, United Kingdom

You can’t have a tour of Europe without a stop in London! This is one of our most popular locations, and it’s packed with helpful clues. You’ll see English on all the signs, but the real giveaways are the iconic red double-decker buses and classic black cabs. Remember to check which side of the road the cars are on! Our walks take you right through the heart of this bustling, historic city.

2. Berlin, Germany

Berlin is a city of incredible history, art, and non-stop energy. The architecture is a fascinating mix of historic landmarks and ultra-modern buildings. The biggest clue, of course, is the German language on all the street and shop signs. Also, keep an eye out for the unique “Ampelmann” on the pedestrian crossing lights—it’s a tiny, iconic detail of the city that’s a dead giveaway you’re in the German capital.

3. Lisbon, Portugal

Get ready for a different vibe in Lisbon. This city is famous for its steep, winding hills, so you’ll often see the iconic yellow trams clattering by. Your best clues are the beautiful, patterned ‘azulejo’ tiles on the buildings and the Portuguese language on shop signs. Our walks capture the city’s unique charm, from its grand plazas to its narrow, colorful alleyways.

4. Prague, Czech Republic

Walking through Prague is like stepping into a fairytale. The city is famous for its stunning, centuries-old architecture. The red-roofed buildings and cobblestone streets are a huge clue, but you’ll need to spot the Czech language to confirm you’re not in a nearby country. Look for shop signs with unique accents (like ‘č’ or ‘ř’) to be certain.

5. Stockholm, Sweden

Welcome to Scandinavia! Stockholm is a beautiful city built across a series of islands, so you’ll almost always be near the water. The best clues are the Swedish language (look for letters like ‘å’, ‘ä’, ‘ö’ on signs) and the unique, colorful architecture of the Old Town (“Gamla Stan”). Our videos show off the city’s grand royal feel and its beautiful waterways.
