You start on a cool quay, the canal water nudging the edge of the street as you open the Loquiz app and step into a role. The city’s stone facades and narrow bridges become clues; pigeons cut across your path like timed obstacles and the scent of fresh stroopwafels signals a coffee break. This is a city game that asks you to read the map, read people and read the city.

You start on a cool quay, the canal water nudging the edge of the street as you open the Loquiz app and step into a role. The city’s stone facades and narrow bridges become clues; pigeons cut across your path like timed obstacles and the scent of fresh stroopwafels signals a coffee break. This is a city game that asks you to read the map, read people and read the city.
Leiden wears its history plainly: a university founded in 1575, cobbled streets shaped by reclaimed peatlands and a skyline punctuated by the short tower of Pieterskerk and green domes of the Hortus. Geology here is subtle — low-lying clay and canals carved for drainage and trade — but it shapes every alley you cross and every view you chase.
Culturally the game fits Leiden’s rhythms; it threads through neighborhoods where students, shopkeepers and canal barges intersect. Expect photo tasks at hidden courtyards and puzzle stops near quiet courtyards and market squares. The storyline—app-driven and role-based—asks you to apprehend a fictional villain by solving riddles, locating markers and completing timed challenges.
Practical guide: book and download instructions arrive by email, buy one ticket per group (2–5 people), and use one device per group. The route is roughly two hours of easy walking across cobbles and short staircases; wear comfortable shoes, carry a power bank and plan for variable Dutch weather. Public transport links and tram stops are nearby, and you can pause and resume the game if you need a break. For teams, it’s a competitive, social way to see a historic city while testing problem-solving under a clock.
One ticket covers a group of 2–5 people using one device; for larger groups buy additional tickets so teams can run concurrently.
Yes — you must pick a date/time when booking but the self-guided format lets you start, pause and resume whenever you like on that day.
The written guide is offered in English and Dutch; puzzles and instructions will appear in the selected language in the app.
