Not at all! Due tot the online nature of our city escape tours, it is not necessary to reserve a tour.
After booking a tour, you’ll receive an email containing instructions, a login link, and an access code. With these, you can start your Outside Escape at any moment you choose!
An Outside Escape is suitable for groups of any size, whether you’re a couple or a group of 60 people playing!
However, we do recommend to stick to a maximum of 5 players for eacht team. This way, everyone will get the opportunity to actively participate in solving the mystery.

Yes, you can! However, some riddles might be more challenging when visibility of your surroundings becomes worse.
We highly recommend a flashlight!
Our city escape tours last about 2 hours on average, but this mostly depends on the speed with which you solve riddles and move from one location to the next.
Every tour is around 2,5 kilometers in length.
There is no time limit to the tour, so feel free to take breaks and enjoy some local hospitality!
Our city escape tours come in several levels of difficulty. The available difficulty levels are displayed in the description for each tour.
Outside Escapes of an ‘Easy’ or ‘Intermediate’ level are considered suitable for children aged 12 years and older.
Tours labeled ‘Challenging’ are suited for players aged 15 and above.
Traveling with younger children? An Outside Escape can be just as much fun with the little ones, but we recommend giving them proper assistance in solving the riddles!
When designing our city escape tours, we take the utmost care to keep them as accessible as we can.
The bad news? This isn’t always entirely possible. However, the good news is that most of our tours are perfectly accessible for players using wheelchairs or mobility scooters.
Look for a wheelchair icon in the description for each tour to see if the tour is fully accessible.
You can also use the filter options on this page to specifically search for accessible tours!
Of course, there is no time limit! After all, it would be a shame to pass up all those cafes, terraces, and interesting views, would it not?
All Outside Escapes are available in Dutch.
In addition, we’re working on making them all available in English and German as well. You’ll find flag icons indicating the available languages in the description for each tour.
At this time, there are no other languages available besides Dutch, English and German.

We do not offer any prizes, but that doesn’t mean you can’t arrange for a prize yourselves!
It most certainly is! Our Outside Escapes will lead you past all the famous and not-so-famous sights a city has to offer. Expect to discover hidden details most tourists will usually miss out on!
Our city tours are fun for everyone, regardless of their knowledge of a place. Even if you think you know a city, our puzzles are designed to challenge your perception and creative thinking skills!
We’ve received plenty of feedback (even from locals!)where people were surprised by the things they didn’t know!
You’ll find info regarding the starting and ending locations on each tour’s respective info page. You’ll also find an icon for each route that indicates whether or not a tour passes through a city’s center.
Would you prefer to know the exact route beforehand? Feel free to send us a message.
Yes, you can. You can share the access code with your teammates, so everyone in your team can help solve the mystery on their own phone. We do recommend not to share the access code with other teams. This way, your team’s score remains your own!
No, you can always get the solution to a puzzle by asking for optional clues. You’ll get up to three clues, the third clue will always reveal the solution.
However, be careful with using too many clues; each given clue will cost you precious points!

You can play each Outside Escape only once. But every city has its own mystery story and riddles, so feel free to try one of our many other Outside Escapes.
We are available in over 30 cities in the Netherlands and Belgium now!
Our Outside Escapes are perfectly suitable for larger groups, up to around 80 people. We recommend to keep the teams at a maximum of 5 persons for each team.
Playing with larger teams is possible, but we’ve noticed that the involvement and fun for individual players might start to suffer in bigger teams.
We also recommend that each team starts a few minutes apart, to prevent teams from getting in each other’s way!
Our tours are always self-guided. However, it is possible to book on-site guides to join you on the tour! Feel free to ask for a price offer!

When playing in larger groups it is recommended to end the tour in a cafe or restaurant, to make waiting for other teams more enjoyable.
