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!

5.00Great time for a teenager and other adult. May be harder with a larger group, but the two of us really enjoyed it. The quality of the book and the clues were really well done.
Amazing experience

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.

The experience is perfectly designed to mix exploring the city with solving captivating puzzles. The routes are both challenging and accessible, with well thought-out puzzles that encourage collaboration and arouse our curiosity. We highly recommend this activity, whether with family, friends or even as a couple. It was a unique experience that left us with beautiful memories! Many thanks to Mystery City for this memorable adventure!

5.00We gave the Hunt to our grandson (13) as a part of a day walking, shopping and eating in the City Center for his birthday. We do know Amsterdam very well, as we grew up in Amsterdam and our grandson is born and raised 20 miles from the City. We had a fantastic day. The people at the Headquarters were charming and the decoration of the location provoked the feeling of a voyage of discovery in the past ages. The Hunt is not only a walking tour with the goal to solve the puzzles, but also shows locations, that are not always visited by tour guides. The puzzles are not to be solved immediately and show the involvement of the makers. Our grandson was able to solve the puzzles, however not always easily. At Headquarters they suggested that the tour could take two and half hours, but we did it in five hours, as we enjoyed the city, took it easy, had food and drinks and did some shopping. We strongly recommend the way we followed the Hunt and non-Amsterdammers could select some other places of interest that may be visited while folowing the route. We sincerely granted the Hunt with five stars.
