Super fun way to make a city trip, you get to beautiful parts of the city and the puzzle is makes it fun. We had chosen the challenging version in Leiden that we thought was good to do, always read the piece of text even after you have already been given a location to go, that went wrong with us so we missed some points
Fun way to discover the city and it's history

This was our second Outside Escape, and it didn't disappoint. The puzzles are challenging without being frustrating, and the route is full of interesting places and fascintating historical facts. This is a great way to discover parts of the city. I would recommend taking the detour to the citadel as it has some great views. Because there is no time pressure on the 'escape'. you can stop on route for drinks, views etc, and there are some very nice little squares and eateries along the way.

The treasure hunt was very educational and went through the entire city. The assignments were sometimes challenging but doable. A very nice outside escape!

It is a nice route, where you pass many interesting places. The aspect of solving puzzles and looking for clues is also fun. In addition, the lock is a nicely designed ending point!

Very fun to discover Leiden with a game! In between we could simply pause the game to enter the Hortus Botanicus and then we could continue. Highly recommended!
