Step into the oldest city in the Netherlands and rediscover its Roman past as Noviomagus. In this self-guided walking quest, your guide is Quintus Tullius Crispus, a young soldier of the Tenth Legion who sweeps floors, polishes shields, and dreams of retiring to a quiet farm. Follow him on your phone through Nijmegen, solving riddles, decoding Latin, and uncovering 2,000-year-old stories at your own pace.
Across 11 stops and roughly 1.7 km, you will meet Emperor Trajan, decode the meaning of Noviomagus, count Roman columns reused in the Barbarossa Ruin, hunt for legion stamps in the walls of Sint-Nicolaaskapel, peer through glass at original Roman masonry and underfloor heating, and stand above the grave of the Lead Lady, an everyday woman buried here around 200 AD.
Start anytime and finish in about 85 minutes. Great for solo travellers, couples, families, and small groups. Wear comfy shoes and bring water. Best in daylight; avoid when the river is high.

Once a strategic part of Nijmegen’s Roman defenses, Hunnerpark is now a peaceful green space that hides layers of ancient history beneath its trees and towers. As part of your quest, you’ll follow clues that guide you here—where old city walls meet tranquil pathways. Upon arrival, a puzzle awaits, tied to the park’s military past and forgotten secrets. Solve it to reveal a hidden story of Roman life in Noviomagus… then continue your adventure to the next mysterious stop. History has never felt so hands-on.
Tucked away in the heart of Nijmegen, the Godenpijler (Pillar of the Gods) is a striking replica of a Roman altar stone, rich with symbols and mystery. It’s a rare glimpse into the spiritual world of ancient Noviomagus, where Roman soldiers once honored their gods. In this quest, you’ll unravel clues that lead you to this sacred site. Once there, solve a riddle linked to its carvings and uncover the forgotten beliefs of a distant empire—before your journey takes you deeper into Nijmegen’s ancient past.

1.00The app did not work properly. The game was no fun, we stopped it after the first spot. It was quiet frustrating.

5.00A really fun quest through Nijmegen! Even though I already knew some of the city’s history, I still learned new things about the Romans in Noviomagus. The story made the locations feel more alive and I liked how history and puzzles were combined. The route was easy to follow and took me to places I normally would have walked past without noticing. Definitely recommended if you enjoy history and exploring a city in a different way.
