3.00The trail wasn't in the centre of Utrecht as advertised, but on the edges of the centre. The trail is also overpriced compared to similar ones I have done in other cities, as it is just the normal mechanic of reading and entering clues on a website.

5.00Very nice trip, through the neighborhoods of Utrecht where you don't come quickly, but which are very nice to visit. On challenging, the escape tour was a fun challenge and a great experience that you could do at your own pace.
Exciting and informative

5.00Informative, exciting and varied! I particularly liked the fact that you can time it yourself. In English, as actually ordered, it didn't work out in the end.

5.00Great outing with the colleagues and learned a lot about Utrecht while I have been there for years. Definitely recommended for an interesting and fun outing with friends or colleagues. Even if you are that hard funnel you will not know everything!

5.00I have been coming to Utrecht regularly for decades, but I have seen and learned a lot of new things via this route. We played the red/challenging variant which, in our opinion, is great to do with teenagers.
Utrecht is a beautiful city for an Outside Escape, do it!

5.00For a change, I opted for the basic version and it is absolutely recommended, especially for beginners. Utrecht has 3 outside escapes, we are looking forward to the next two. Utrecht is a beautiful city and with these escapes you will visit the nicest places.

Nice afternoon in Utrecht

4.00Nice route in Utrecht. The difficult version was well suited for experienced puzzlers. Unfortunately, some puzzles were not possible due to a market stall on top of the clue, but we still had a nice afternoon.
