Everyone plays every game.
No riddle that one person solves: a game isn’t over until everyone has played.
Two kilometres through the old centre
Ten stops, ten games, at your own pace.
The ten stops along the way:
- 1 Hof Putting things in order
- 2 Groenmarkt Guess the Time
- 3 Havik Draw and guess
- 4 Volmolen Two truths and a lie
- 5 Koppelpoort Spot the difference
- 6 Kleine Spui Caption the sign
- 7 Onze Lieve Vrouwetoren Guess the height
- 8 Scherbierstraat Sense of direction
- 9 Muurhuizen Timeline
- 10 Monnikendam Surroundings bingo
Along the way the app tells the story, throws in things worth knowing about the city, and shows you the way to the next stop on the map or by compass.
Everyone plays every game, each on their own phone or all of you on one.
Three of the ten, in the app:
Havik
Lieve VrouwetorenGuess the height Pull this old church tower up to the right height. Who gets closest?
ScherbierstraatWhere is the tower? Turn yourself around until the arrow points where you think the tower is. Your sense of direction is worse than you think.

This is the only game you can try from here — for the other nine, you’ll have to head into town!
A short story
In the Middle Ages, a shoemaker walked these streets.
The shoemaker was known for his fine shoes, but above all for his big mouth. One day a rich merchant, watching him chatter away, proposes a bet: "five stuivers says you can’t walk to the Koppelpoort and back without saying a word!"
Follow the shoemaker on his walk, and see these places the way he saw them — in 1450, nearly six hundred years ago.
“Hendrick opened his mouth, and closed it again. He walked on quickly.” — a snippet of what you’ll hear along the way
Two versions of the tour.
As a family you play together; with friends, against each other. Pick the version that fits your group.
Fun for the kids, and for you.
You’re one team. Every stop adds a piece to your map and a piece of the story, until at the end you know how it ends. From age 8, €29 for the whole family.
For families →An afternoon of games, but out in the city.
Ten games you play against each other: after every game you see who’s on top, and at the end the result is on the leaderboard. With more teams, the teams take each other on too. €29 per team.
For friends →Good to know
Which language is the tour in? English
The whole tour is in English: the story, the narration, the fun facts and the games. The app also runs in Dutch, German and French, and the choice is per phone, so you and your Dutch friends play in one team, each in your own language.
Scavenger hunt or city walk? A bit of both
A bit of both. You walk a route of about 2 km through the old centre, so you see as much of the city as you would on a walking tour. Only there is a game waiting at every stop, and that is what makes it a hunt: you are searching, drawing, guessing and estimating together instead of trailing after a guide.
City game is another name you will hear, and that is fair. What it is not is a puzzle trail or a city escape game: there you solve riddles together, here every stop has a game that everyone joins in on.
What kind of games are they? Ten, all different
Ten different ones, and all of them games you play together on the spot where you are standing. You draw something and the others guess what it is, you hunt for the differences between an old city gate and a photo of it, you estimate how tall a church tower is, or you keep track of time by feel with nothing to check it against.
You don’t need to know anything beforehand or be good at anything — in most of the games an 8-year-old is just as good as an adult.
How long does it take? 1.5–2 hours
The route is about 2 km, with ten stops. You can do it all in an hour and a half; with a terrace along the way it is closer to two.
Two of you? Eight of you? Either
The games are made to work as well with two players as with twenty. Playing on your own works too, though it isn’t what the tour was built for — the games turn on what happens between you. With small teams, some games add attempts from other players so the guessing doesn’t get too easy.
