### Through historic Zwolle

Explore the most beautiful spots of the city center — including places you've never seen.

Approximately 2.5 km walking, at your own pace. Perfect for an afternoon or evening with your team.

### Rain or shine

Our outdoor games always go on — put on your boots and step into the adventure.

### Not a simple app game

No off-the-shelf tablet or app game. You'll combine real physical puzzles, unique locations in the city, and surprising elements — something a city game with only an app simply doesn't have. You'll only use your phone for hints.

How it works

## How an outdoor game works

You play completely independently, without a game master on site. Together with your team, you head into Zwolle's city center and follow the route at your own pace. You receive all hints and clues via a smart hint system on your smartphone, so you don't need a guide. There's no competitive element and no time pressure: you don't play against the clock, but at your own pace. On average, an outdoor game through Zwolle takes about 2 hours. For larger groups, you split into multiple teams of a maximum of 6 people, each starting separately from the same point. The game goes on in almost all weather conditions — wear suitable clothing and shoes. If you have doubts about the weather or questions about the cancellation policy, you can always contact us.
