Geocaching light adventure

Eikosis - Geocaching light adventure

This year, Brussels by Lights has a new interactive geocaching trail, Eikosis. Visitors can explore the city centre's shopping streets on two fun 1.5-hour walks.

The start is at the Boulevard Anspach 65 (intersection between the pedestrian zone and the Rue du Marché aux Poulets), under the watchful eye of the giant cat Eikosis.

Laeken, Haren and Neder-Over-Heembeek are also in the spotlight with new Christmas lights and a mapping on the facade of the 'Maison de la Création' (Place Emile Bockstael).

This 'Illusion Game' is an interactive mapping that takes spectators into a world of illusions and transformations. Using sensors on the ground, the audience directly influences the show projected on the facade, merging illusionism, deconstructivism and visual art.

Practical info:

  • From 23 November to 31 December 2023
  • Performances from 5 pm to 11 pm (each show lasts 6 minutes, separated by 3-minute breaks)
