You step off the tram into a square where canals cut clean lines through brick and stone; the city seems to test you with every narrow alley and ticking clocktower. In The Walter Case you become a private detective with two hours on the clock, weaving through Leeuwarden’s streets as clues appear on your phone and the canal-side facades dare you to look closer.
Leeuwarden is the Frisian capital—an old trading hub whose medieval streets, the leaning Oldehove tower, and canal networks reflect a history of commerce and civic pride. The region’s low-lying geology—peat and reclaimed land—shapes the grid of waterways you’ll cross; local culture carries its own language and straight-talking humor that surfaces in market squares and cafés.
The game’s route is flexible: you decide which suspects to question and which alleys to search. That freedom turns landmarks into puzzle pieces and gives a real-time feel to the investigation. Expect two hours of walking at an easy pace with frequent stops to read clues, solve riddles, and photograph evidence. The app records your choices and sends a summary with photos when you finish.
Practical guidance: charge your phone and bring a portable battery; you’ll rely on the app and maps. Wear comfortable walking shoes for cobbles and light rain. Start the game earlier on sunny days to avoid dusk glare on screens and to use daylight for reading detail. Public transport, bike parking, and wheelchair-accessible routes are widespread—plan your entry and exit points so the clock doesn’t catch you off guard.
