Deichwandern

A classic from the days of bulletin board systems – now on your smartphone. Ostfriesisches Deichwandern (Dike Hiking) is a simple online game for friends, family, colleagues and anyone who enjoys playing together.

One number per round. That is all you need for your move.

Everyone starts with a supply of virtual steps. Each round, you decide how many to spend. Whoever takes the fewest steps is eliminated. Whoever takes the most receives a bonus. But your supply also has to last through the following rounds. The aim is to stay on the dike longer than everyone else.

The rules are easy to learn. The fun lies in figuring out your fellow players and using your steps wisely.

Create a private hike and invite friends, family or colleagues with a code. Or join a public hike and play with new fellow hikers. Submit your move before the agreed round deadline. You do not have to be online at the same time – the game fits into a busy day.

After each round, the animated dike view shows who stays in the game. Use the comments to chat with one another throughout the hike.

Free. No ads. No fuss.
Available in German, English and Low German.

A piece of online history you can play.
