The square hums with voices and the North Sea wind tugs at your jacket as teams fan out under the short, low light of the Dutch afternoon. In Midsland the chase is both literal and digital: smartphones buzz, maps update, and for two hours you move between narrow streets, green courtyards and the quick edges of dune-backed roads, switching between hunter and hunted.
