    Booked this for my son and his friend while they travel through Europe. It was not as described and although it was inexpensive, it should have been free. Pretty disappointing.

  • 4Fun game, interesting story, good tour of Rotterdam

    We enjoyed this "scavenger hunt" escape game as a way to explore Rotterdam. The story line was entertaining, and the clues led us to all kinds of interesting things to see. Some of the puzzle solutions were just a bit too obscure for us, but the hints helped solve them. We did have some trouble with crowds and construction sites, we were there on the King's Birthday holiday, and many streets were madhouses of vendors and people partying. Working our way through the crowds slowed us down and made some of the clues harder to find, on a different day it would be easier. I would like to see more information about route and distance to be traveled. As it turned out, we didn't have time to finish the game, which was a bit disappointing. The distances between targets were more than we expected, and we didn't hurry when we should have. What we did complete was fun and interesting, and we're going to investigate what other exploration games are available from Questo where we live.

    Great way to see all the top spots of cultural/historical importance in the city with in an interesting way. A little bit too long for my senior parents, but we took our time and got through it with quite a few breaks in 2.5hrs

    It is a very nice tour in which you see things you normally would not notice, or at least would not know the meaning of it. Some directions were not very clear, so we walked some extra meters.

  • 5Great way to see Rotterdam

    This game is a great way to see and learn about Rotterdam. We only had one day in Rotterdam so we took the train to Rotterdam Centraal where the game started. We saw so many cool places and were able to stop half way for a lunch at one of the many restaurants along the route. I definitely recommend this if you have kids and want to tour the city, go at your own pace. and learn but also not pay as much as you would with a tour guide. One thing to note is that the game ends about a mile from Rotterdam Centraal so plan your travels accordingly.

About Rotterdam

Rotterdam is a modern Dutch port city rebuilt after 1940, known for bold architecture, a huge harbour, the Cube Houses, a market hall and waterfront views.

Rotterdam was bombed in May 1940 and rebuilt in a modern style, so it is unlike the old canal towns of the Netherlands: glass towers, bridges and daring architecture line the Nieuwe Maas river, which is crossed by the white Erasmus Bridge. It has Europe's largest seaport, and the harbour can be toured by boat. Delfshaven, a small quarter of old canals that survived the bombs, is where the Pilgrim Fathers left in 1620.

Top-ranked sights in Rotterdam: Markthal (Market Hall) , Church of St. Lawrence (Sint Laurenskerk), Erasmusbrug (Erasmus Bridge).
