Projekt Amsterdam, Niederlande

Somewhere in Amsterdam, a team of very unconvincing spies is about to meet at Nieuwmarkt. It could be yours. In plain terms: your team explores on foot and takes on spy missions together. Nieuwmarkt was created in 1614 when the canals around the medieval gate were filled in. Along the way, Amsterdam shows you some of its history and the places where locals gather. The mission is the excuse. The real game is figuring out which of your teammates has been lying since the first stop. Puzzle experience is optional. Every mission goes better with a brave volunteer, and somebody will volunteer the wrong person. There may be a double agent on your team. There may not. By day or after dark, this route works: about 2.5 hours, 4 stops and 2.9 km on foot, with evening games possible. You go home with photographic evidence, several new in-jokes, and a firm group agreement that none of you were ever spies. Who it's for: - Friends, couples and families with teens: finally, a day out with more to talk about than where to eat. - Solo travelers and anyone new in town: join an open session and team up with other players. You arrive alone and leave with a team, which is more than most networking events manage. - Private groups: bachelor and bachelorette parties, girls' weekends, boys' trips, wedding parties, work teams and active over-55s. Pick the day; we will handle the intrigue. Book a private game for 1 to 8 players on a date you choose; a team of one works too. Prefer company? Join the open session every Sunday at 3pm to team up with other players. If nobody else books it, we let you know in advance so you can play solo or move to another date. Bigger groups play as several private teams. What to expect Turn up at Nieuwmarkt by your departure time. Meet at the Waag. Your mission starts on your phones there and leads your team to 4 stops over about 2.9 km on foot, finishing at the last stop about 2.5 hours later. Only the meeting point is shared in advance; the rest is revealed as you play. - Bring a charged phone for each player, with mobile data; a power bank helps - About 2.9 km of walking; wear comfortable shoes - Outdoors in typical weather; if conditions turn unsafe, we reschedule you or refund you - The challenges suit teens and adults; younger players are welcome with grown-ups on the team - The walk between stops follows step-free mapped paths, and no stop is marked as inaccessible. Kerbs and paving are not checked on the ground, so contact us if you need full step-free access.
