Everyone plays every game.
No riddle that one person solves: a game isn’t over until everyone has played.
Two kilometres through the old centre
Ten stops, ten games, at your own pace.
The ten stops along the way:
- 1 Hof Putting things in order
- 2 Groenmarkt Guess the Time
- 3 Havik Draw and guess
- 4 Volmolen Two truths and a lie
- 5 Koppelpoort Spot the difference
- 6 Kleine Spui Caption the sign
- 7 Onze Lieve Vrouwetoren Guess the height
- 8 Scherbierstraat Sense of direction
- 9 Muurhuizen Timeline
- 10 Monnikendam Surroundings bingo
Everyone plays every game, each on their own phone or all of you on one.
Three of the ten, in the app:
Havik
Lieve VrouwetorenGuess the height Pull this old church tower up to the right height. Who gets closest?
ScherbierstraatWhere is the tower? Turn yourself around until the arrow points where you think the tower is. Your sense of direction is worse than you think.

This is the only game you can try from here — for the other nine, you’ll have to head into town!
Between the games
- A story through the city At every stop the story carries on and you hear something worth knowing about the place. You find the next one on the city map, or with the compass as a mini scavenger hunt.
- A map of your own Along the way you make a map of your own: a piece is added at every stop, and you choose what goes on it. Afterwards you keep it as a memento.
“The drawing game was my favourite, and Amersfoort is a beautiful city!” — The son, 13, and our strictest judge
Our kids found looking at a city boring.
My wife and I love wandering around a city we do not know yet, but our kids of 10 and 13 are done with that pretty quickly. So I came up with something where we are not walking next to each other but actually playing together — and you still see all of Amersfoort.
— Jorma, maker of the Amersfoort tour

Good to know
Which language is the tour in? English
The whole tour is in English: the story, the narration, the fun facts and the games. The app also runs in Dutch, German and French, and the choice is per phone, so you and your Dutch friends play in one team, each in your own language.
From what age? From age 8
We recommend age 8 and up: from there, children take part fully. Younger kids can join in too, especially if they enjoy games.
Two of you? Eight of you? Either
The games are made to work as well with two players as with twenty. Playing on your own works too, though it isn’t what the tour was built for — the games turn on what happens between you. With small teams, some games add attempts from other players so the guessing doesn’t get too easy.
A phone each? Can, need not
They can, but they don’t have to. Several players on one phone works too: you pass it around during the games, and that way everyone plays every game.
What if it rains? Pause or move it
Ugh, annoying. But we won’t melt, will we? Joking aside: you can always pause the tour and take shelter for a bit. Or, if you’re still at home, simply decide to go another day.
Will teenagers enjoy it? Tested, yes
Tested by our own kids of 10 and 13, and happily the answer was yes. The games are not made “for children” but for the whole group: a teenager simply plays along with the adults, and is just as good at it.
As a birthday party? Several teams
Absolutely. Choose "Extra teams" at checkout and pick the number of teams. If you like, the teams can compete against each other in one shared lobby — that works well when all the grandmas, grandpas, uncles, aunts and cousins come along, or for a birthday party.
Need internet? No, not required
Once the tour is downloaded in the app, it works entirely without internet. The one thing that needs a connection is playing together on several phones: share one phone between you, or set up a hotspot so the other phones get online through it.
Data usage is low: count on roughly 2 MB per tour per phone.
Give it as a gift? Gift card
