The experience

About this quest

Your museum sent you to Utrecht to investigate monster sightings. You're skeptical.

Then your first witness starts talking about a cockatrice, a Teutonic Order still operating in the city center, and a hermit who bricked herself into a church wall centuries ago.

This self-guided escape game in Utrecht takes you through the city's most iconic landmarks on a trail of cryptic clues and eccentric characters: the Dom Tower, the Speelklok Museum, hidden canal streets, and a UFO on the roof of a building made from 22 million bricks.

Solve puzzles, interrogate fictional witnesses, and piece together the truth behind the Monster of Utrecht.

Each location tells a real piece of Utrecht's history, from the only French Gothic cathedral in the Netherlands to a poem being carved into the city's cobblestones one letter per week.

This is one of the most original things to do in Utrecht for couples, families, and anyone who enjoys history with a twist.

No guide needed. Start anytime, go at your own pace, and discover a Utrecht that most visitors never find.
