Ten rounds, one winner.

No riddle that one person solves: a game isn’t over until everyone has played.

The result of the height game in the app: everyone's estimate of the Lieve Vrouwetoren as a tower of its own, side by side, from 62 to 181 metres, with the real height among them.

Two kilometres through the old centre

Ten stops, ten games, at your own pace.

The ten stops along the way:

  1. 1 Hof Putting things in order
  2. 2 Groenmarkt Guess the Time
  3. 3 Havik Draw and guess
  4. 4 Volmolen Two truths and a lie
  5. 5 Koppelpoort Spot the difference
  6. 6 Kleine Spui Caption the sign
  7. 7 Onze Lieve Vrouwetoren Guess the height
  8. 8 Scherbierstraat Sense of direction
  9. 9 Muurhuizen Timeline
  10. 10 Monnikendam Surroundings bingo

Everyone plays every game, each on their own phone or all of you on one.

Three of the ten, in the app:

Havik
Draw and guess in the street Draw what you see and let your teammates guess it. Or just make them laugh.
Lieve Vrouwetoren
Who’s on top? Everyone plays for their own score, and after each game you see the standings here.
Scherbierstraat
Where 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.

Try a game

This is the only game you can try from here — for the other nine, you’ll have to head into town!

Between the games

  • A story through the city At every stop the story carries on and you hear something worth knowing about the place. You find the next one on the city map or with the compass, and stop for a drink wherever you like.
  • The scoreboard At the end, the final standings, per player and per game. Screenshots welcome.
“It was an original thing to do, and I liked the games (a perfect mix of working together and competing).” — The maker’s wife, gets bored easily

On most city tours, my wife and I drop out halfway.

We love wandering around a city we do not know yet, but an hour of listening and looking is more than we can manage. So I built a tour where you are not walking next to each other but actually playing together, and after every game you see who is on top. We walked every stop ourselves, and then again with the toughest jury we know: our kids of 10 and 13, who find looking at a city rather dull. What held up with them and with us is what went in.

— Jorma, maker of the Amersfoort tour

Good to know

How does the scoring work? A score of your own

Everyone plays for their own score: after each game you see who’s on top, and at the end the result is on the leaderboard.

Coming with more than one team? Pick "Extra teams" when you book and tick the box beside it, so the teams play in one shared lobby — then you also see how the other teams are doing along the way. You pay per team rather than per person: ten of you can be one team, or two teams of five.

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.

Also for a stag do, hen do or birthday? Yes, in teams

It does. Pick "Extra teams" when you book, say how many teams you are coming with, and let them compete in one shared lobby.

One thing up front so nobody expects the wrong afternoon: there are no dares in it and nobody has to make a fool of themselves. It is a route with ten games, not a bucket list.

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.

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.

A phone each? Can, need not

They can, but they don’t have to. Several players on one phone works too: you pass it around during the games, and that way everyone plays every game.

Need internet? No, not required

Once the tour is downloaded in the app, it works entirely without internet. The one thing that needs a connection is playing together on several phones: share one phone between you, or set up a hotspot so the other phones get online through it.

Data usage is low: count on roughly 2 MB per tour per phone.

What if it rains? Pause or move it

Ugh, annoying. But we won’t melt, will we? Joking aside: you can always pause the tour and take shelter for a bit. Or, if you’re still at home, simply decide to go another day.

Can we cancel? Until you start

As long as the tour hasn’t started, you can always cancel. If you’ve already started it, get in touch and we’ll work out together what we can do.
