Cities

  • Ghent — Ghent is a student city with medieval bones and a stubborn streak. It kept its towers, its quays and its attitude. This is where Nosy started.
  • Bruges — Bruges looks drawn by hand: canals, brick gables and a skyline that refuses to be modern. Nosy walks it the same way it walks Ghent.
  • Antwerp — Diamonds, fashion, printing and one very tall cathedral spire. Antwerp is a port city with a taste for grandeur and a nose for trade.
  • Brussels — Comic strips, waffles and a little fountain with a big reputation.
  • Namur — A citadel on a river bend, watching the Meuse go by.

Trails

  • Medieval Power — Castles, counts and the towers that bossed a whole county around.
  • Hidden Ghent — Tiny houses, secret corners and the bits most people walk straight past.
  • Food & Rebels — Where Ghent ate, argued, drank and occasionally started a riot.
  • Art & Green — Museums, gardens and a park built on top of an old fortress.

Questions, answered honestly

Is Nosy free?

The Nosy Map web layer is free, and the game has no artificial limits — collect as much as you like.

If I buy something, do I keep it?

Yes. Yours forever — we never take back what you bought. No subscriptions that vanish, no content locked away after the fact.

Is there a pocket app?

Not yet. The hands-free, screen-off pocket experience is app-only and coming later. The web version keeps your screen on and uses your phone's voice to read stories.

Do I need an account?

No. No accounts, no payments, no ads, no tracking. Stamps are saved on this device for now.

What language are the stories in?

Ghent's stories are in English, with the three flagship trails also in Dutch and French. The interface speaks all five languages, so switching is instant.

How do you pick the places?

We use verified points of interest and stay on the safe side of history: no invented drama, no dubious 'facts'. If we're not sure, we stay general.
