5.00A great tour for the whole family, where the children can guess well. Just the right level for primary school children and older together with the parents you can do it great. We had a lot of fun and learned a lot about Rembrandt and saw a lot.
Fun for the whole family

5.00First time we did something like that and it went down really well. Our children aged 13 and 11 were able to participate in most of the puzzles and got to know Rembrandt in a fun way through the story. We as parents read the extra info about Rembrandt and liked the puzzles too. A nice route through Leiden, not too long and puzzles of great level. Recommended, even if you go without children.
Was definitely worth it!

5.00Was a nice tour, questions really hit the location. 1.5 hours spent on it and not too complicated questions, but just nice for an afternoon with friends.
Educational and fun

5.00Been to Leiden many times but went with this quest to very nice places where you would not normally go. Assignments and puzzles were easy to do, walk was not too long and you learn something about Rembrandt again. App use was also very clear and you can determine your own walking pace
I would recommend!

5.00We played this escape game in the city center of Leiden and it was such a great experience! The game took us past both well-known and hidden spots, which made it extra fun. The puzzles were enjoyable and manageable, and the storyline was cleverly designed. It’s the perfect activity to enjoy the outdoors, get moving, and work together. We laughed a lot and were fully immersed in solving clues. A fun way to discover Leiden from a different perspective!
Beautiful city to enjoy even without bad quizz

3.00Not a well thought-out quizz. Instead of using interesting information, you should generate numbers by walking paths in a certain order. Too little Rembrandt Too much quizz at all costs.
A very fun activity in Leiden
