The experience

About this quest

This was once water. Now it’s your path. I am Klaas, a fisherman from the old Zuiderzee, born when waves still ruled this land. 

In Zeewolde, you walk where I once sailed and discover the spirit of a long-lost sea. This is no ordinary walk. It is a true memory, a journey for curious minds and kindred spirits. 

Bring a friend, a child, a partner — and return together to the bottom of the sea, solving puzzles from the past along the way

What makes this quest special
