About Escape Tour texel

In het jaar 1669 was het prachtige eiland Texel een belangrijke vertrek- en aanvoerhaven van de V.O.C. Als het weer niet toe liet om de oceanen op te gaan bivakkeerden de zeelui op het eiland, waar uiteraard veel feestjes bij hoorde. Michiel de Ruyter hield ook wel van een feestje op Texel, dat blijkt wel uit het verhaal van deze bijzondere Escape Tour.


Michiel's favourite place for a party was the inn where Neeltje Bakker worked behind the bar. After an exuberant night of partying, Neeltje, despite being married to Cornelis, became pregnant by Michiel de Ruyter. The love between Neeltje and Cornelis was unbreakable and therefore they were both furious with Michiel. They decided not to kill Michiel, but to steal his most personal possessions! Michiel discovered the theft and opened a hunt for the couple.

Escape the city

With the Escape Tour Texel you follow in the footsteps of Neeltje and Cornelis and try to leave Texel unseen within 2 hours. Using the app, you will wander across part of the island and past various villages, looking for clues. If you complete all the tasks in this city game correctly, the clues will lead you to the secret location where you can escape from the island. The search starts at Vogelenzang 21 in Den Burg, good luck!

By bike or by car

The Escape Tour Texel is not like all the others Escape Tours. In fact, you do not wander through one town, but through several villages. The route is about 16 kilometers long. This makes the Escape Tour not suitable for walking! So take the bike, scooter or car and discover the island in a different way. But beware, in order to complete the missions, you may have to leave your vehicle and continue on foot.
