Secrets of Katwijk aan Zee Self-Guided Scavenger Hunt & Walking Tour

Secrets of Katwijk aan Zee is a self-guided walking tour that turns the seaside town into a route full of puzzles. The game starts at Princestraat (behind the White Church). Every stop has a task, and solving it opens a short piece about the spot. Along the way it plays like a scavenger hunt through Katwijk aan Zee, with something to find at every stop. Couples, families, friends and colleagues on an outing all play it in the same way. A team of up to four uses one phone, so a larger group divides into teams that walk at their own speed. On your own it works fine too. There is no guide and no fixed departure, so you decide when to start in Katwijk aan Zee. How to playGetting under way by the water takes four steps.

Instead of a guided commentary the game hands you information stop by stop, about the harbour side of the town and about how the streets meet the sea. It is the kind of detail you can check while you stand there. Playing with several teams makes it a contest, with points per task and a leaderboard at the end, which is also why groups from work book it. Nothing is timed, so a stop on the beach in between is no problem. It is a relaxed way to explore Katwijk aan Zee.
