What to expect

A flexible city game during your Amsterdam trip

This scavenger hunt fits easily between canal walks, museums and dinner plans. The route takes about two hours and works for couples, families, friends and small groups of 2 to 6 people.

You receive a game link by email, follow the story on your phone and solve clues while walking through central Amsterdam. No guide is needed, so your schedule stays flexible.

Why choose a scavenger hunt instead of a standard tour?

A regular tour often follows a fixed group and guide. This Amsterdam scavenger hunt gives you a route, a detective story and puzzles, while still leaving room to stop for photos, coffee or a canal view.

Planning tip

Book your city game for the morning or late afternoon if you want to combine it with museums, shopping streets, lunch or dinner reservations.
