    Practical information
  • Can I open the game from another location?

    You can, only the time starts running immediately after you read the intro and enter your team name. Therefore, it is very important that you start Escape Tour only at the start location indicated in the email.

    game other location other starting point
  • Do I have to start at the indicated start location?

    Yes indeed. The game starts at a central spot in the city. This spot is determined so that the game can be played perfectly. As soon as you actually start the game, time starts running. If you start at a different location, you may spend more time walking to different tasks, resulting in not finishing within 2 hours.

  • Should I already log in at home for the Escape Tour?

    No, you don't log in until you are on location and actually play the Escape Tour .

  • Can I play the game at any time of day?

    Yes, you can decide what time you want to play the game. You play the game on your own smartphone and there is no attendant present. By following all the instructions you receive by mail you can start the game whenever you want. However, some places may be less accessible late at night or missions may not be clearly visible. Therefore, we recommend playing Escape Tour during the day or early evening.

  • Is this game also suitable for exploring the city?

    Yes indeed! The game is always played in the (old) center of a city. We try to let you (re)discover the city in an interactive way and show you the best spots. Of course the fun is above all.

    discover experiencing viewing recording exploring
  • Is the Escape Tour suitable for all ages?

    The Escape Tour is made for adults and children ages 12 and up. This means that the riddles and questions are soon too difficult for small children. In addition, the storyline is based on the city's history and the text is written for adult humor. Still, some children already really enjoy the occasional solution or navigation with the smartphone (the game generation), for them it might be fun to go along. Nevertheless, our experience shows that it is not always fun for them either. For the younger kids, we made 3 family versions of Amersfoort, Amsterdam and Zwolle.

  • Is the Escape Tour wheelchair friendly?

    Yes you can, provided there are also people in your team who are not dependent on a wheelchair. You determine your own route with your team and of course these are passable with the wheelchair. Sometimes you may have to make a slight detour, for example because a staircase is used.

    suitable for wheelchairs wheelchair friendly wheelchair accessible possible with wheelchair
  • Can I do the Escape Tour if I have poor mobility or reduced fitness?

    With a Escape Tour you walk around the city for about 2 hours at a brisk pace. That means you'll soon be walking 4 to 5 kilometers. If you have mobility problems, you may not be able to play the game to its full potential.

    disability handicap friendly possible with disability disabled
  • Can you play the Escape Tour on weekends, holidays or evenings?

    Yes, a Escape Tour can be played at any time of the day. You are not dependent on opening hours. However, some places may be less accessible late at night. Therefore, we recommend starting the game during the day or in the early evening.

    holidays holiday Saturday Sunday weekends
  • Can I play the Escape Tour when there are all kinds of festivities or events downtown?

    Of course, this varies from city to city and depends on the size of an event. If it is a weekly market in a square, then you can play the Escape Tour without any problems. For example, if it is King's Day or there are festivities throughout the city center where almost every square is occupied, then we recommend doing the Escape Tour at a different time. So always check before playing if there is an event in town!

  • We are already well known in the city, so is a Escape Tour any fun?

    Yay! We went in search of the nicest, more unknown spots in the city. Besides, you get a different view of the city during a Escape Tour . After all, you always come across something new and fun.

  • What kind of questions and assignments can I expect?

    With the help of our app, you navigate through the city centre. The assignments along the way vary enormously. Think of search assignments, knowledge questions, photo assignments and/or calculation questions. Something for everyone!

    missions tasks types of questions task assignment
  • Are the tasks in the different cities similar?

    Each city has its own storyline, assignments and questions. The concept remains the same, but the content differs from city to city. This also makes it fun to play a Escape Tour for a second time, but in a different city.

  • Can Escape Tour also be played with 2 people?

    Yes, it is also great fun for two! All tasks and questions can be completed by just the two of you.

  • Can I pause the game?

    The Escape Tour cannot actually be paused. The goal is to find the secret exit within two hours. As soon as you start the game at the starting location, time starts running immediately. You can of course choose to take a break, since you have a total of four hours to play the game. Once you take a break, however, the time does just keep running. The group version has no option for a break: the maximum time duration for this game is two hours.

  • What should I do if my phone runs out of battery during the game?

    First of all, we recommend playing the game with the phone from the team that has the longest battery life. This is often the most recent and most expensive phone. Should your phone run low during the game, you can continue playing on another phone. In this case, follow these steps:

    - Leave the game on the phone that is almost empty
    - Log in to the new phone with your personal login information
    - Delete the game info
    - Press start
    - Do not enter your team name and team members again but press: 'or resume with existing team' and then choose your previously entered team name
    - Continue Escape Tour with the new and full phone

    Note: The time you spend switching to a new phone will be deducted from your playing time! So the time you see in the app after switching is no longer correct....

Then the wisest thing to do is to use another device from your team. Follow the steps below to continue on another device.

  • Questions about groups
  • I want to play the game with say 16 people, how many teams should I make?

    You purchase 1 ticket per team. We recommend making teams of 2-4 people. This way everyone is involved in the game. With 16 people you then make 4 teams, and thus buy 4 tickets total.

    number of team members per team how many members per group
  • I have bought 2 or more tickets, how does this work?

    You have been given different log-in details for each team. So one person per team logs in, and the game is played on that person's smartphone. You can then start every 5 minutes so that not all teams reach the assignment points at the same time.

    multiple cards different reservations
  • If we play the game with 3 teams, how do we know when we have won?

    We will keep track of everyone's standings online. After the Escape Tour you will receive an email with a link to your personal ranking. There you can see which of your teams has won. On the Wall of Fame you can also immediately see if you managed to secure a spot among the fastest teams of all time!

    how to win notification victory finish finished end exit slot escaped
  • I am with several teams, will we all start at the same time?

    We then recommend starting 10 minutes apart. This does not matter for the game because each team has a maximum of 2 hours to find the exit. As a result, you will not walk at the same pace and you will not hear each other's answers. After all, you are all walking the same route!

    at the same time all groups start
  • Is there an element of competition?

    Yes! The goal is to find the secret exit of the city within 2 hours. If you manage to do this and another team does not, you are faster and thus the winner. The fastest possible escape from the city is more important than the number of correct answers. After the game you will receive a personal ranking list in the mail. Here you can see exactly how much time it took each team to find the secret exit.

    competition against each other match rivalry
  • I want to play with a very large group (20 or more people). Is that possible?

    Yes! A special group version has been created for large groups. This allows multiple teams to start at the same time without running after each other. In the first part of the game, each team gets a different order of assignments. The starting location and the secret exit are the same for each team. In addition, you get your own ranking with only your teams. Check out the large groups page for more information.

    maximum number of participants how many players family outing family day staff outing group outing colleagues
  • I bought a group version. How does this work?

    Every 10 minutes a maximum of 5 teams start at the same time. Each team automatically gets a different starting assignment, so there is no running after each other. Fifteen minutes later another maximum of 5 teams will start at the same time, until all teams are on their way. Afterwards the booker will receive your own ranking list by e-mail.
