Frequently asked questions
Is this an escape-style walk through Utrecht?
Yes. It is an outdoor mystery walk: your friend Jan's bike has vanished, and you follow clues and solve puzzles set in the streets, canals and landmarks around you. The route covers about 4.5 km, from the station square past the Dom Tower, Janskerk and the Singel.
How does the app guide you around the city?
The app on your phone leads you from place to place, tells the story of each stop and gives you a puzzle based on what is in front of you. There is no guide and no group to join. Bring a fully charged phone or a power bank.
Where does it start and finish, and how long does it take?
It starts at the white rooftop with the bulbs on the station square and loops back to the Stationsplein, so it suits anyone arriving by train. Most players take just over two hours, walking and puzzles included, over roughly 4.5 km.
Is it a good activity with kids?
It is tagged family friendly and the mystery is lighthearted, with stops like the Miffy statue that children recognise. It works best for school-age kids who enjoy puzzles and can manage about 4.5 km and a little over two hours on foot.
Can we play as a group, and do we need to book a time?
One ticket covers the whole group playing together. There is no time slot to book: start whenever you like, and you can pause the game and continue later if you stop for a coffee or a canal-side break.
What is the Utrecht missing bike mystery about?
You help Jan find his missing bicycle after a night out, following a light fictional detective story through Utrecht’s streets, canals and unexpected clues.
Who is the Utrecht bike game for?
It is a playful outdoor mystery for friends and families who want to walk, laugh and solve puzzles together rather than join a guided tour.
Where does the route start and finish?
