About this quest

It’s been five years since you walked away from Bruges… and from Maria, the love of your life. A prestigious job in London promised success, but after everything fell apart, only one thing matters now: winning her back.

Wander through the cobbled streets and storybook canals of Bruges, following poetic clues that lead you back to memories, hidden spots, and hopefully—her heart. 

This isn’t just a walk through a beautiful city; it’s a journey through your past, your regrets, and your hopes. Solve real-world puzzles, explore charming corners with someone you love, and rediscover what truly matters. Love brought you here. Will it bring you back together?

Frequently asked questions

What’s the story behind this quest?

You’ve left Bruges years ago, left Maria, trying to chase success—but something went wrong. Now you’re back, following poetic clues into canals and cobbled alleys, hoping to track down not just the past… but maybe a chance to win her heart again.

How romantic is this for a date night?

Super romantic. Walking along the canals, discovering hidden spots, solving little puzzles together… there’s lots of magic built in. It’s great for reconnecting.

Which spots will we pass that make it special?

You’ll see places like The Lake of Love, hidden canal views, charming historical squares, an award-winning chocolate shop, cafés tucked into alleyways, and those angles of Bruges that feel like a postcard.

Is it easy to follow as a pair, or do we need to be puzzle experts?

It’s made for two. The puzzles are thoughtful but not frustrating. You help each other out, joke when one misreads a clue, and enjoy together rather than feeling pressure.

What should we bring to make the date even better?

Good shoes, phone fully charged, maybe a small jacket (evenings can get chilly), and a little something sweet—chocolate or something local to nibble while walking.

Will this feel fresh if we’ve been to Bruges before?

Totally. Even if you've seen the main sights, this quest surfaces hidden gems: stories you didn’t hear, corners you didn’t explore, memories you might’ve forgotten.

How many people can do it together—just us or more?

Designed for couples, but you could bring another pair. Sharing a device works, or each with your own. Just ideal when it’s just the two of you for intimacy.
