Self-Guided The Harderwijk Syndicate City Escape Game

Harderwijk sets the stage for an outdoor escape game that opens on the Markt, in the middle of the old town. From that square the trail bends into the lanes around the Grote Kerk and then drops towards the Vischmarkt, where the fishing town once did its trading. The route keeps you inside the historic core, with the harbour front never far off. The game suits families, groups of friends, couples and colleagues who would rather work something out together than listen to an explanation. A team is two to five people sharing a single phone, and every member takes on a character with a part of the mission of their own. Larger parties split into several teams. There is no guide and no fixed departure, and the compact centre of Harderwijk keeps the distance between tasks short, even on the slope down to the water. How to playGetting the Harderwijk game running takes a few minutes at most.

Your team cracks codes, unpicks riddles and works through photo tasks that keep pointing to the next place he was seen, and the roles you handed out at the start decide who is able to open what. The search takes in Kerkplein and crosses the Dolfinariumbrug, where the evidence is put in order. Send out more than one team and the route becomes a race, which is why it works for teambuilding as readily as for a day out. Nothing runs against a clock, so you can break for a drink and pick the trail up where you dropped it. From the first puzzle to the last, the playing field is Harderwijk.
