Beautiful Groningen! - What a fun way to discover the city! Groningen is versatile, from small streets to the impressive Groninger museum, we have seen it all. Through an outside escape tour you will really look at buildings, streets, and sights with different eyes. We had a great time, and of course made a stop for a drink on one of the cozy terraces that Groningen is rich.
And tip: check if there is no 'event' in the city when you want to do the Outside Escape, we ended up in the 4 mile loop from Haren to Groningen so that a large part of our route was blocked off with fencing.

Surprisingly fun afternoon - A very nice way to get to know my own city (better). Fine to eat and drink in between and then pick up again. We found it surprising and the questions are also very nice and especially not too easy. Overall had a very nice afternoon!

Playful and educational way to learn the city - Lovely way to get to know the city. You're going to pay attention to very different things. Nice distance to walk. Puzzles are very well put together and after some thought do best.

The Outside Escape city game in the beautiful city of Groningen - This was my first time doing an outside escape city game at the invitation of my girlfriend and I loved it. I thought I already knew the city of Groningen quite well, but I came across places I had not seen before. The riddles were super fun, not too easy either. It's actually nice to actually have to put some effort into it. We had a nice lunch in between and had a drink somewhere else, so the afternoon was filled in no time. With the exception of 1 point that we lost, we had everything going well, which gave us a nice boost. I will definitely do this again in another city.

What a wonderful experience - How exciting it was. What are we going to encounter and what should we do? The explanation via your mobile phone is fine. At times we had to think hard, but in the end we came out and solved everything. We even went into a krieg at the end point to have a drink. We ordered a delicious snack board. What a great experience this outside escape in Groningen was. We will soon book another city. Already looking forward to

A promising university "at the limits of knowledge" - The Reichsuniversität Groningen is the second oldest university in the Netherlands. It was founded in August 1614; until 1876, the language of instruction was Latin.
Today, there are approximately 35,000 students enrolled in the bachelor's and master's degree programs. The university library vis-Ã -vis the main building is the second largest in the Netherlands after the one in Leiden. The university participates in the ERASMUS scholarship program. It is one of the 56 best universities in Europe.

Great if you want to show your friends the city - My friends and I did the outside escape in Groningen after it was recommended by a friend of mine. Since my friends had never been to Groningen, I found it difficult to think of a fun way to show them the city. This was perfect for it. The route took us past parts of the city that I had not thought of showing. There was also enough room for many breaks to have a coffee. Although we had to ask for a lot of hints, we still found it a fun experience.
