Fantastic experience! All clues and puzzles were really well thought out and it was the perfect way to explore Amsterdam whilst adding a little bit of competition as we split into two groups and raced each other. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for something to suit a larger group, with different puzzles and tasks to suit everyone.
The bars were also great, good service and food and drink options perfect for us!

Thank you!

SO MUCH FUN!!!!! I wish I could give this more than 5 stars!! If you love scavenger hunts, puzzles, escape rooms, treasure hunts, you will LOVE THIS!

My husband and I did the “Late Night in the Red Light” game and I loved it so much I went back and did the “Secret Sender.” They were a little bit different but both so much fun.

“Late Night” was half game, half bar crawl. We went to three different bars and drank and solved puzzles. In between the bars we walked around the city while the game taught us about the area. We liked the bars so we definitely took our time!

“Secret Sender” takes you all around the city center and shows you a lot of really cool detail which you might miss otherwise. This actually felt like an escape room packed into a backpack! There was definitely a lot of walking to be done on this one.

Both games had clever puzzles, which required some thinking (and some finding) but were very solvable. The games are SO WELL PUT TOGETHER

Special thank you to Gaby who got me set up with the backpack and helped me out at the end!

A really fun way of discovering the city. I felt the game overstayed it's welcome a little as we expected it to be shorter, but we had a great time. The puzzles weren't too complicated but the book you carry around made them nicely interactive.

A great way to explore the city! The host, Ben, was very friendly and even took the time to tell us a little on Amsterdam's history and give us some recommendations for dinner. The puzzles were not too tricky, and we learnt a lot about the resistance against Nazi occupation through them! Would recommend this experience to anyone.
