We enjoyed walking the city and learning more about Leiden. We did the challenge level and some of it was difficult. The clues helped when we had to use them. It took around 2 hours but it could take longer if you read everything and walk at a slower pace. The places we stopped at were great and this game really forced us to look at the locations in detail. It was a fun way to spend a couple of hours before dinner.
Good to hear that you enjoyed the Outside Escape in Leiden. Indeed, a fun way to visit unique places in the city. Thank you for this lovely review!
Very nice way to rediscover a famous city. Fun puzzles and beautiful walking routes, perfect getaway with nice weather.
Dank je wel voor de mooie review. Fijn om te horen dat jullie hebben genoten van onze route in Leiden.
Nice way to get to know the city in a different way and learn more about the history of Leiden........
Dank je wel voor de mooie review. Leuk om te horen dat de combinatie ontspanning en leerzaam wordt gewaardeerd.
A very nice challenging trip, the basic version was tricky enough and we saw nice parts of the city. Highly recommended!
Super om te horen! We proberen inderdaad nieuwe interessante plekken te vinden en leuke feitjes over Leiden aan bod te laten komen. Je kijkt zo toch weer met andere ogen naar de stad!
As Leiden residents we have seen other places of Leiden through this escape. The story around the city was also very fun and educational
Fijn dat het ook voor Leidenaren een interessante route is! Bedankt voor de review!
Super fun way to make a city trip, you get to beautiful parts of the city and the puzzle is makes it fun. We had chosen the challenging version in Leiden that we thought was good to do, always read the piece of text even after you have already been given a location to go, that went wrong with us so we missed some points
Ai, jammer dat je daardoor niet de volledige score kon behalen. Dank voor je mooie review en hopelijk zien we jullie terug in een andere stad.
This was our second Outside Escape, and it didn't disappoint. The puzzles are challenging without being frustrating, and the route is full of interesting places and fascintating historical facts. This is a great way to discover parts of the city. I would recommend taking the detour to the citadel as it has some great views. Because there is no time pressure on the 'escape'. you can stop on route for drinks, views etc, and there are some very nice little squares and eateries along the way.
Great to hear, and I agree, the detour to the 'Burcht' is worthwhile. Hope to see you soon again!
Super nice escape route walked through Leiden. This way you can also see other parts of the city and still read history during the game.
Dankjewel voor jullie review! Fijn te lezen dat de route en de geschiedenisfeitjes in goede aard zijn gevallen. Hopelijk tot een volgende Outside Escape!
The treasure hunt was very educational and went through the entire city. The assignments were sometimes challenging but doable. A very nice outside escape!
Super leuk om te horen! Er is niet voor niks een Uitdagende en Basis variant van de route ;-)! Jullie bedankt voor de review en hopelijk tot een volgende keer!
It is a nice route, where you pass many interesting places. The aspect of solving puzzles and looking for clues is also fun. In addition, the lock is a nicely designed ending point!
Super om te horen! We hebben over het eindpunt nog wel een tijdje overnagedacht. Super om te horen dat jullie dat zo leuk vonden!
