Rotterdam’s spy-themed app scavenger hunt with 11 clue stops, step-by-step directions, and a no-time-limit pace for families.
“We enjoyed this "scavenger hunt" escape game as a way to explore Rotterdam. The story line was entertaining, and the clues led us to all kinds of interesting things to see. Some of the puzzle solutions were just a bit too obscure for us, but the hints helped solve them. We did have some trouble with crowds and construction sites, we were there on the King's Birthday holiday, and many streets were madhouses of vendors and people partying. Working our way through the crowds slowed us down and made some of the clues harder to find, on a different day it would be easier. I would like to see more…”

Self-paced smartphone city trail in Den Bosch with GPS riddles, puzzles, and 7 major stops. Start anytime, pause anytime, 3 hours.
“Although we often visit Den Bosch, this treasurehunt really took us to unknown places. You look and walk so much more focused on the city and its history. Without them becoming lengthy stories. Good dosage of length of walk and information. The fact that you can choose how you walk is also nice.”
A self-guided smartphone escape game through The Hague landmarks like Hofvijver and Noordeinde Palace, priced per group and ready on your schedule.
“Unfortunately we had to quit the experience after about ten minutes, so I can’t say much about it. The first 4 or 5 questions were really interesting and entertaining, so we expect the rest to be as much fun! Hopefully we can finish it some other time, but I’m afraid our code and answers will be expired by then.”
