Über dieses Abenteuer

You have probably heard and read a lot about the Dutch Golden Age. But did you know that many of its origins lay in the old Jewish Quarter of Amsterdam? 

Here is an equally 'golden' opportunity to explore that part of the old city's past. You will walk past its temples and learn its stories - from diamond factories to canals to master painters and philosophers. Get ready to discover the secrets and origins of Jewish Amsterdam.

What to Expect

This self-guided walking tour in Amsterdam combines exploration, storytelling, and puzzle-solving into one unique experience. As you navigate through the city, you will discover 11 carefully selected locations, each revealing a piece of the story.

The entire quest takes approximately 6300 minutes to complete and covers 2.2km on foot. You will move at your own pace, with the freedom to pause whenever you want to take photos, grab a coffee, or simply soak in the atmosphere.

Each location features a challenge or puzzle that unlocks the next chapter of your story. These challenges are designed to be fun and engaging while teaching you about the history, culture, and hidden gems of Amsterdam.

No tour guide needed – your smartphone becomes your guide. The Questo app provides directions, shares stories, and presents challenges along the way.

Die Mission: Deine Geschichte in Amsterdam

Take your time to look around you. 

It is early May 1945. Canadian troops are nearing the city that is currently awakening from a long famine winter. 

Before reaching Amsterdam, Canadian forces must be provided with intelligence, as to the conditions within the city and any pockets of German activity that they might encounter. As a resistance operative, you have been selected to infiltrate the sealed-off, German-controlled Amsterdam ghetto and report back with any information that might be useful.
