5.00Extremely fun, original, challenging and educational escape tour! You will be sent through Amsterdam and will have to solve many physical (and surprising) puzzles throughout your tour (from lock picking to chemical reactions). Highly recommended!

5.00Very original way to explore the city. The enthusiasm of the host at the introduction of the game immediately set the tone for our afternoon in Amsterdam. The puzzle with the inkblots was challenging, but when we realized what the intention was, super cool.
Would definitely recommend this again.

My friend and I were kept on toes throughout the scavenger hunt, with the hosts being very engaging throughout the hunt!

5.00Challenging and thoughtful puzzles in the heart of Amsterdam. Definitely recommended if you want to delve into an unexposed piece of history of the city. Enough opportunity to grab a terrace in between and a committed host who sent us on our way well instructed.
Lots if fun even with 2 year old!

5.00As big fans of escape rooms we loved to try something in the line of, but outdoors AND in the company our almost two year old miniman (in a buggy). Even with crappy weather, we had a lot of fun: finally a set up where everything is in order puzzlewise, and also based on true facts. On top of all that, not too much walking and the games look amazing! Would definitely recommend!!
Fantastic for puzzle-lovers!
