Do I need to join a group or meet a guide at a set time?

No. You book a date and time slot, but once purchased, you start the game whenever you choose that day. There's no meeting point or guide—you play entirely at your own pace on your phone.

How many people can play with one ticket?

One ticket covers 1–4 people in a group sharing one device. Groups larger than 4 need to buy additional tickets (one per extra 1–4 people).

What if I don't have data or GPS signal while playing?

An active internet connection and enabled GPS are essential throughout the 2-hour game. The app uses location-based triggers for puzzles and navigation. Download the app beforehand and test your signal in the areas you'll explore.

Is this game suitable for beginners or families with children?

The game is rated intermediate difficulty, so it's best suited for those comfortable with puzzles and riddles. It may be too challenging for young children without adult help, though families can certainly attempt it together.

Will I learn real Amsterdam North history, or is it just for fun?

Both. The game weaves local history, culture, and lesser-known stories into every puzzle and location. You'll uncover facts and secrets even locals often miss, making it educational as well as entertaining.

What do I receive when I book?

After booking, you'll receive all game details and instructions via email. Download the app, enable GPS and internet, and you're ready to begin whenever you like on your chosen date.
