About this quest
After a wild night out, you wake up alone—your friends have vanished, and something feels... off.
As you retrace your steps through Amsterdam’s shadowy streets, you uncover a hidden battle between the city’s free spirit and a darkness trying to drag it back in time. Not all ghosts wish you harm—some will guide you. Others will try to stop you.
In this thrilling quest, you’ll follow eerie clues through real-world locations, from iconic landmarks to hidden alleyways, solving puzzles and uncovering chilling truths. It’s more than a walk—it’s a race against time and fate.
Bring your friends or family and dive into a mystery where memories are made... and souls might be lost. Will you save them before it’s too late?
