We are a group of language students and we played the game with our teacher: a great and fun way to practise, and learn interesting stuff about our city that we didn't know.
Perfect with a group of A Level pupils. Loved it.
Quests for classes
A school day with Questo in Antwerp is built around one long quest, The Lost Boy of Antwerp: A Mystery to Unravel. It starts at Groenplaats, just south of the cathedral, and covers the old town, the Scheldt riverside and the docks. Over about 5.5 km and 14 stops, teams pass the Stadhuis, Het Steen, the Carolus Borromeus church, the Paleis op de Meir and the Bourla theatre. They also reach the MAS beyond the Schipperskwartier and stop at the pedestrian tunnel under the river. It is pitched at pupils aged 11 to 14 (Key Stage 3), rated 4.2 out of 5 by 128 players, and needs no attraction tickets.

Starts at Groenplaats
Architecture across periods, from Het Steen and the cathedral to the Stadhuis, Carolus Borromeus, the Paleis op de Meir and the Bourla theatre.
Teams of 3 to 5 share one phone.
Under-14s: one adult per 2 to 3 teams with agreed checkpoints; 14 to 18: your school's policy. Avoid regrouping on the crowded Meir.
The centre is walkable; De Lijn runs the trams, partly underground.
Its Groepsticket covers 10 to 30 people, 2.20 euros each, 60 minutes, travelling together, so split larger classes. Avoid 15:30 to 18:00.
Public toilets are scarce, about 100 across the whole city, and Meir shops often refuse.
Plan stops at public buildings during opening hours, such as the MAS, the Permeke library or Centraal Station.
Classes eat packed lunches in the Stadspark, near Centraal Station, where Bar Capitale's toilets are open to non-customers for a fee, or in Droogdokkenpark on Eilandje.
Take all litter away.
The MAS boulevard, rooftop panorama and Visible Storage are free without a ticket, and booked school groups enter the museum free.
If rain spoils the day, replay the quest free within 30 days.
Caution: Antwerp trams share streets with traffic in parts of the centre and cyclists are numerous. Brief pupils to stay off tram tracks and cycle paths, and cross only at marked crossings.
Antwerp's development from the medieval riverside fortress of Het Steen to the Gothic cathedral, the Renaissance Stadhuis, the Baroque Carolus Borromeus church, the 18th-century Paleis op de Meir and the 19th-century Bourla theatre.
Urban geography of a port city, following the Scheldt from the old centre to the docks around the MAS and the pedestrian tunnel under the river. Pupils also practise map reading and orientation as teams find each stop.
Pupils read and follow written instructions and story text to solve each puzzle. The quest is also available in French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian and Dutch, so a languages class can play it in the language they study.
Teams share one phone, agree on answers, manage their own time between checkpoints and move safely and respectfully through a busy city centre.
