5.00Great scavenger hunt meets unguided tour. Perfect opportunity to self-explore the downtown area of Amsterdam in a short window of time. Even better if it’s a nice day! Will be back to try the other games when friends from abroad visit!
Good fun

5.00What a fun adventure! It's like a treasure hunt & escape room had a baby. 😂 It wasn't difficult to solve the puzzles, but you do get a phone number so you can text for help if necessary.
Will go again in other cities!

5.00This was the first thing we did when arriving in Amsterdam. This was a great idea as it takes you around Amsterdam with the puzzles and clues and gives you a feel for where things are. The puzzles were good and we were able to do them at a leisurely pace, stopping off for a coffee on the way.
