The City Escape as a city tour
The City Escape is an interactive city game played via your smartphone. Together with your team, you head out into the city and solve puzzles linked to real locations in the area. No boring multiple-choice questions, but interactive riddles where you have to look closely, search, and combine elements from the city.
During the tour, you’ll discover not just the city, but the stories behind it. Along the way, you’ll encounter info points with short facts about special places. The City Escape was developed by three young puzzle enthusiasts and can now be played in various Dutch cities, including Amsterdam, Utrecht, Eindhoven, and Maastricht.
After purchase, you will receive a unique game code by email. Download “The City Escape” app, go to the starting point in the city, and enter the code. Then the adventure begins, and the puzzles will lead you through the city. You can find more info here.
You play The City Escape in teams of 2 to 4 people per phone. With larger groups, you can create multiple teams to play against each other.
No, reservations are not necessary. You can play the tour whenever you want.
As the puzzles are interactive, you’ll need to drag and combine items on your screen, for example. Don’t worry, it’s all explained during the tour. It would be a bonus, though, if at least one team member was comfortable using a phone.
The puzzles are designed for true escapers, so they sometimes require some serious thinking 😉 But you’ll never get stuck: for every puzzle, you can use a hint or view the answer and simply keep playing.
The tour is most suitable for ages 16 and up. For every riddle, you can use hints and answers, so you can always move on to the next point.
Certainly! If you’re playing with multiple teams, we recommend starting a few minutes apart. You can pay via invoice here.
The City Escape is all about real interactive puzzles. You use elements from the city such as buildings, symbols, and dates to solve riddles. No boring multiple-choice questions, but real brain teasers for true detectives.
Yes, The City Escape is essentially an outdoor escape room. Instead of being in a room, you solve puzzles while walking through the city center.
