You step out onto the Maas-side quay with the Erasmus Bridge arching like a steel question over the river; the city hums and the hunt begins. Clues pull you through open-air markets, past mirrored high-rises, across cobbled backstreets and into harborside corners where shipping cranes loom and gulls wheel, daring you to keep pace.

You step out onto the Maas-side quay with the Erasmus Bridge arching like a steel question over the river; the city hums and the hunt begins. Clues pull you through open-air markets, past mirrored high-rises, across cobbled backstreets and into harborside corners where shipping cranes loom and gulls wheel, daring you to keep pace.
Rotterdam’s modern skyline is the product of reinvention — the city rebuilt after the 1940 Blitz and reimagined as Europe’s largest port, with reclaimed land, river channels and engineered quays shaping how you move through it. Architecture here is a local language: Cube Houses, the Market Hall’s painted belly, post-war plazas and hip warehouse conversions on Katendrecht tell a story of industry and culture in motion.
The City Detective game uses your smartphone and the Qugato app to serve puzzles and suspect lists as you walk. Expect 2–3 hours of urban navigation, starting and pausing when you like; the route threads landmark sites with lesser-seen alleys and local anecdotes about art, trade and smuggling lore. Keep an eye out for tram tracks, fast cyclists on shared lanes, and changing weather that can switch the city from bright to drizzly.
Practical: play in a group (up to six devices supported), bring a charged phone and a compact power bank, wear grippy shoes for mixed surfaces, and plan to use public transport to and from the start point. The experience fits families, friend groups and small teams wanting an active, self-directed way to explore Rotterdam’s layered waterfront and urban spirit.
The game is designed for about 2–3 hours of walking and puzzle-solving, but you can start, pause and resume at any time.
No—this is a mobile-first experience; after booking you’ll receive login credentials and play using your smartphone (up to six devices per group).
Yes—puzzles are family-friendly and the route avoids technically difficult terrain, but younger children should be supervised near roads and tram lines.
Bookings are flexible and self-guided; the game runs in most conditions—bring waterproof layers and opt to pause if conditions become unsafe.
