Cityspotting is Linnanmäki Circus School's free mobile city adventure. Families open the map game in a browser, complete a first spot that can be opened from anywhere, and then unlock more circus-themed spots around Helsinki. When they go to a spot in person, the game opens videos or other content connected to that place.

- Accessibility
- The route and accessibility depend on which spots your family chooses and where they are located. The official page does not list accessible routes or spot-by-spot access details, so plan the outing around your family's mobility needs.
Plan your visit
- Practical notes
- The game starts at app.mapiosa.com. Families create a user account, activate the adventure with code SPOTJ54NKJ, and allow location access for the map. No physical starting point is given; Tapanila is used here as the map anchor because part of the route is based there.
- Opening-hours notes
- Families can start the adventure at their own time during the campaign. Phone battery, weather, and the chosen spots affect how long the outing takes.
- Booking notes
- No time booking is needed, but playing requires the Mapiosa browser app, a user account, the activation code, and location access.
- Price notes
- The game is free. Completing spots may unlock offers from local operators, and prizes are drawn among participants.
- Age notes
- The official page does not give an age recommendation. The game works best for school-age children together with an adult because it involves using a phone, following a map, and moving from place to place.
- Seasonal notes
- The official game period is 19.5.-19.9.2026.
- Weather notes
- The game is played outdoors on a phone, so rain, cold, strong wind, or heat can affect the outing. Choose spots and breaks according to the weather.
