Self-Guided The Delft Syndicate City Escape Game

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. 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. How to playFour things to arrange before the first clue.

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. 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.
