From Introduction App to an Unforgettable City Adventure
How do you make sure new students not only know where to go, but also truly get to know the city?
During introduction weeks, everything revolves around meeting people, discovering new things, and getting involved. Students get to know their group, find their way around a new city, and gain their first impression of their studies, student association, and student life. For organizers, this can be quite a challenge: schedules, groups, tickets, communication, payments, and activities all need to work together seamlessly.
That’s why Tactile is partnering with Discovery Trip starting from the 2026 introduction season. Together, we make it easier to add an interactive city activity to the introduction experience.
More than a standard city tour
Discovery Trip creates interactive city adventures. Instead of a traditional walking tour with information points, participants embark on an active experience where teams solve puzzles, follow clues, and discover hotspots, study locations, and student life along the way.
This can be a fixed route or a fully customized experience. The city becomes the playing field, groups explore together, and the challenges encourage movement, teamwork, and fun.
This makes it a perfect fit for introduction weeks. Students don’t get to know a city by reading about it—they get to know it by exploring it together. From location to location. From challenge to challenge. And, most importantly, as a team.
Two apps, one experience
The strength of this partnership lies in connecting the best of both worlds.
For many introduction events, Tactile is already the central hub where participants access their schedule, use tickets, manage credits, and receive important updates. Discovery Trip adds a playful layer to that experience: an adventure through the city, exactly when it fits into the programme.
From within the Tactile app, a group can be directed straight to the correct Discovery Trip. No separate instructions, no manual codes, and no unnecessary extra steps. Participants simply see what needs to happen, open the activity, and get started.
Behind the scenes, both systems ensure that the right group is connected to the right trip. For participants, it feels effortless: tap, open, start.
Creating introduction experiences that leave a lasting impression
The partnership with Discovery Trip perfectly aligns with Tactile’s vision of events. A great event is not built from separate tools, but from connected components that strengthen one another. Registration, communication, access control, payments, scheduling, and experience should all work together.
Discovery Trip adds a valuable experience layer to that ecosystem. Not another system to manage, but an additional way to actively engage students with their city, their group, and their introduction week.
For introduction weeks, this means fewer disconnected processes, greater cohesion, and an activity that becomes a natural part of the overall event experience.
Are you organizing an event and looking for an interactive way to help participants discover the city? Tactile and Discovery Trip would love to help you create an unforgettable experience.
