Self-Guided The Delft Syndicate City Escape Game

About this activity

This walking tours is one of the standout things to do in Delft, Netherlands. it combines the highlights below into a single, easy-to-book experience from €20 per person. <p>The Markt in Delft is the starting square, with the Stadhuis Delft at one end and the Maria van Jessekerk standing a few doors away. From there the route slips into the canal streets and works its way over to the Oude Kerk on the far side of the water. It is a city escape game in the open air, and the canals do most of the work of keeping you oriented.</p><p><br /></p><p>Delft is compact, level and cut up by water, which means a lot of small bridges and very little distance, good for families, couples and colleagues who would rather not march. A team is two to five people with one phone between them, each player holding a character and a role the rest of the group cannot cover for. Bigger groups run as separate teams. Nothing is guided and nothing starts at a set hour.</p><p><br /></p><h3>How to play</h3><p>Four things to arrange before the first clue.</p><ol><li>Book the City Game</li><li>Check the instructions email</li><li>Download the Loquiz app</li><li>Start playing whenever you like</li></ol><p><br /></p><p>The target is Magnus, who walked off with the stolen formulas and buried the evidence in a chain of codes. Getting to it takes cipher work, riddles and photo tasks, and a team that hands the right question to the right character. Late on, the trail runs by the Museum Paul Tetar van Elven and the Gemeenlandshuis van Delfland.</p><p><br /></p><p>Put two teams on the same route and it becomes a competition decided by who reads the clues faster, which is the reason it works for team building. Stop when you want, take a coffee on a bridge and start again where you left off. The last of it plays out in the middle of Delft.</p>
