Secrets of Hoek van Holland Self-Guided Scavenger Hunt & Walking Tour

Secrets of Hoek van Holland is a self-guided walking tour that turns the coastal village into a playing field of puzzles. You start on the Prins Hendrikstraat and walk past De Dorpskerk, the Torpedoloods and the harbour basin of De Berghaven. At each stop there is something to work out, and afterwards the game tells you what the place is. Along the way it plays like a scavenger hunt through Hoek van Holland, with something to find at every stop. It works for couples, friends, families and colleagues who would rather look around than sit still. A team of up to four plays on one phone, so a bigger group splits into several teams. Going alone is fine too, and since nothing starts at a fixed moment you can pick the hour when the light over the water suits you. How to playStarting in Hoek van Holland takes four steps.

The route reaches the Hoge Vuurtoren and the defence works of Fort 1881, and explains what such structures were built for. You also learn how the village relates to its harbour and its lifeboat station. When several teams play at once the walk becomes a contest: answers score points and a leaderboard shows who leads, which is why the game is also used for team outings. Nothing is timed, so you can break off for coffee and continue afterwards. It is a relaxed way to spend an afternoon in Hoek van Holland.
