Highlights

Leiden becomes the crime scene in this self-guided detective game, where the clues are hidden in plain sight in the streets around you. The case is the murder of Balthasar, and the evidence is scattered across the old centre - past Burcht van Leiden, Leiden American Pilgrim Museum, Stadhuis Leiden and National Museum of Ethnology. You decode messages, photograph what does not add up and press digital witnesses whose stories never quite line up. Every puzzle you crack removes a name from the list of suspects. Play as a couple, bring the children along, or send two or three teams out at the same time and turn the investigation into a race - which is what makes this murder mystery game work as well for a team outing as for a day out. The last answer is waiting somewhere in the centre of Leiden.

About Leiden

Leiden is a canal city in South Holland with the Netherlands' oldest university, Rembrandt's birthplace, windmills and a botanical garden.

Leiden lies where two arms of the Rhine meet, and its old centre is a web of canals lined with gabled houses and bridges. The university, founded in 1575 by William of Orange as a reward for the city's resistance to a Spanish siege, is the oldest in the country, and its buildings crowd the Rapenburg canal. Rembrandt was born here in 1606, and the Burcht, a circular fortress on an artificial mound, looks over the rooftops.
