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.

The mission: Your story in Utrecht

Your museum sent you to Utrecht to investigate a series of monster sightings. You assume it's a waste of time.

A cockatrice. A creature hatched by a turtle. A beast drawn in grotesque detail by a man surrounded by singing clocks. The reports get stranger with every page.

But so does the city. Behind every canal and cathedral, behind every locked door and medieval tower, something is hiding in plain sight.

Question the witnesses. Follow the clues. And try to figure out, before the end, whether the monster is real, or whether Utrecht has been keeping an entirely different secret all along.
