Mystery City Games are a mix between a scavenger hunt, escape room, and a self-guided walking tour.

It’s a bit like the Da Vinci Code or National Treasure – it’s about using clues hidden in the architecture of the city to solve a mystery. You can play competitively, but you can also relax and go your own pace, enjoying shops or cafés along the way.

No app is needed – we think treasure hunts are more fun with real treasure maps, locks, and beautiful pieces. 

Amsterdam, 1988: There is a lot more grime, a lot more crime, and a lot more of what some might call “a good time” in the Red Light District’s grimy alleyways. In this city game, you will take on the role of a grizzly detective, with a gun by your side and whiskey on your breath. A body has turned up on the streets, and you are needed to help solve the case.
At the start of the experience, you will go to the first pub and pick up a game booklet with the instructions and your first challenge. Then the game will guide you through the city to visit a total of 3 different pubs, where you will find hidden materials along the way. At each brewery, you will also have a drink token that can be exchanged for a regular beer, a soft drink, a coffee or a tea. Please note that you will need a phone with data to communicate with your police captain along the way (no download necessary).

– Visit 3 bars and complete a series of challenges to solve the case
– In between each bar, you will explore the neighborhood, finding details in Amsterdam’s architecture and hidden corners
– Follow a true story from the city’s history as you race against the clock or compete with your friends, family, or colleagues
– You will need a phone with internet

The price includes one a two hour adventure through the city. The game set is in a bag and includes all the maps, books, locks and treasure box you need to solve the mystery.

All participants also receive a prize at the end.

Are you a curious and adventurous spirit? Are you looking for fun things to do? Then this city quest is something for you!  They are a great idea for a family visit, a date with someone special, a birthday party, or an event with your team.

Whether you only have one day to visit or have visited many times, you are sure to discover something new. All of our games are based on real stories from history. This game will take you past top sites and have you laughing with your friends as you race to solve the mystery.
