Now live in app stores: Hoes geocaching game

Hoes geocaching game is aimed for future students in Utrecht. During the Utrecht Introduction Time (UIT) the app will help new students get to know their new college town and be informed about possible danger of STDs.

Discover Utrecht with geoquest

Starting from today, students can download the Hoes app and engage into geoquest challenges. In a nutshell: the student gets acquainted with the town where he will spend a lot of time over the next four years. He will be quided by the built-in map towards the quests located in various hotspots. These quests include questions, diverse quizes and 'exciting' SOA games.

Reduce risks of STDs

The quests in the app are dedicated to risks of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Thus, the owners of the app promoted "Make yourself healthy(live)" theme triggered by the municipality of Utrecht.
