Frequently asked questions
What’s this all about?
You become Godfrey, a knight who’s lost during a battle outside Maastricht. Enemies are closing in, your crew is separated, and you've gotta use smarts, courage, and teamwork to follow clues, solve puzzles, and reunite with your commander before the danger finds you.
Who will get the most out of this quest?
Friends who like role-play + history, couples looking for something adventurous, or families with older kids who dig stories of knights, battles, and little surprises in old city corners.
What kind of sights will we pass by?
You’ll explore spots like the medieval watermill, Roman baths, the old gate, the prison, and even a beautiful old bookshop tucked in one of Maastricht’s quieter streets. Bits of history + architecture + hidden charm.
Is this good for a date night?
For sure. It mixes challenge + charm + romance—walking side by side through scenic spots, solving puzzles together, maybe ending at a cozy café. Feels more memorable than just dinner.
Can kids join in? Will they enjoy it?
Yes, especially tweens or older kids. The story is exciting, you’re moving and exploring, and there are visual spots that engage. Might be a lot if they’re very young, or if you go late in the day.
Is this quest scary or intense?
Not scary horror, but there’s suspense. Some moments feel dramatic—enemies, chase, mystery. But it’s more about atmosphere and story than fear.
Is Maastricht Knights an indoor escape room?
No. It is a self-guided outdoor puzzle adventure through real Maastricht streets. The knight story is fictional, and you are not locked in a room.
Is this experience self-guided?
Yes. The Questo app guides you from clue to clue without a guide or fixed start time, so you can start when it suits you and pause along the way.
How many accesses does our group need?
Classic quests sell access per device and player. Each person who wants to solve clues on their own phone needs their own access.
