Storyline

Dark clouds fill the sky and every Groninger is reminded of the 1997 disaster. 

At exactly 12am on 31 August 1997, three students from the student corps slipped past the fences of Martinitoren. Not knowing that they would not make it down the stairs. At least, two of them didn't… 

What happened to the third student? that's for you to find out...

i would have loved it if the tips/right answers were found on the buildings/sights we were seeing not just look online or on google maps. in other quest games on this app we were able to find the clue to our next destination on the building

nice way of learning about the history of groningen, some "did you know"s were missing context towards the end, and could be explored with further detail. the games were largely fun and challenging, except the counting of the blue tiles. that was confusing and honestly did not provide much historical context. thank you for a nice game, we enjoyed it a lot, good luck finishing it.

Het blijft een leuke manier om de hoogtepunten in een stad te zien. Alleen jammer dat niet alle beschrijvingen klopten/niet alle locaties duidelijk waren. Met het kaartje erbij was het goed te vinden, maar het is uiteraard leuker om die niet te gebruiken. Zou fijn zijn als hij ook in het Nederlands is!
