Recommended! - Very nice outing for a family or colleagues. Highly recommended. Will definitely do it again in another city. In The Hague, the hofjes route is highly recommended.

Great activity for a group of friends! - This is an incredibly clever idea! It was a lot of fun and took me to some sites I wouldn't have seen otherwise. The storyline is a little darker than I was expecting, especially if it's aimed at tourists. I'd play again if the creators did another with maybe some type of historical mystery, maybe thieves are trying to steal a Vermeer or rob William of Orange, lol. I have no idea. Either way, I'd recommend it as a group activity, especially if you are trying to stay away from crowds during COVID. Thanks for putting the work into setting up the tour.

Nice treasure hunt, but missed the thinkers - It was fun, but we expected more challenge in the puzzles, after all we had chosen the difficult variant. We missed the thinkers. In addition, in our opinion, more could have been done with the courtyard theme. Start easily accessible from both Den Haaf HS and CS.

Nice but takes longer than indicated - Takes longer than stated in description. The km you travel are more than indicated. The puzzles are fun but difficult (some) so that an assignment can take a long time. It is not recommended if younger children come along because it will be of little use to them. The environment you see is very nice, so in terms of activity it is fun to do, but you need more time than indicated.

Terrible - The worst escape tour ever ! Don’t fall for this scam. While the description states that you will see exiting spots in the city while solving interesting riddles, it’s the opposite, the riddles and the story are boring and their description lacks detail. Not worth the money.

unsatisfactory - ... I don't know. Some kind of sad. We ordered the English version, but got the Dutch version. The route was not so nice. We walked through the outer living areas, witch where not so pretty. Furthermore the story was unsatisfactory. To put it in a nutshell: :/
