The 15 Best Scavenger Hunts in Netherlands

1.e-Scavenger hunt Maastricht: Explore the city at your own pace

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 110 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) Our pick

Use the Qula city game app to explore Maastricht at your own pace. GPS guides you from Sint Servaas Basilica and the old city walls to Boekhandel Dominicanen, Vrijthof, Fort Sint Pieter, and more. Expect quizzes, search tasks, local facts, and a few questions that may favor Dutch speakers.

“I, myself am dutch, but I played this game together with my boyfriend who speaks english. By that we chose the english version, but sadly some parts of the game were not well translated and it was pretty clear that the dutch version was translated by google translate, because some sentences just didn't make sense. Also 4 questions were about dutch things, which a non dutch person could not have known the answer to. For that we can't recommend this game in another language than dutch and it is definetly not worth 31 euro.”

It was not so nice that the pin points were way out of reach of the location to find the answers and hence couldn't find all of it. A little bit of searching is nice but this was not even close and hints were on the opposite of helpful if even there . Nevertheless we had a fun tour .”
