You step off the tram into a city of angles and water: glass facades glint, cranes keep watch over the port, and the Maas whispers just beyond the quay. The Syndicate City Game turns Rotterdam’s streets into a stage: your group adopts characters, chases clues between plazas and canals, and races an invisible clock to recover stolen formulas and apprehend Magnus.

You step off the tram into a city of angles and water: glass facades glint, cranes keep watch over the port, and the Maas whispers just beyond the quay. The Syndicate City Game turns Rotterdam’s streets into a stage: your group adopts characters, chases clues between plazas and canals, and races an invisible clock to recover stolen formulas and apprehend Magnus.
Rotterdam is a city rebuilt after the Second World War; its postwar urban planning and daring modern architecture—from the Cube Houses to the Erasmus Bridge—provide an unusual backdrop for a city game. The ground here is low and reclaimed, cut by the Nieuwe Maas river whose tides have shaped trade and industry for centuries. Culture in Rotterdam is pragmatic and experimental, reflected in public art, markets, and a direct, no-nonsense approach to navigation.
Practicalities are simple: book online, download the Loquiz app, and you’ll receive instructions by email. The self-guided format gives you freedom to start when you like and pause as needed; average playtime is about two hours and difficulty is intermediate—expect lateral puzzles, map reading, and timed photo tasks. Bring a charged smartphone and a power bank, comfortable walking shoes, and an eye for civic details.
Play works well as a solo diversion, a competitive team event, or a low-key teambuilding exercise. Public transport hubs are close to typical routes, and the game supports English and Dutch. Time your run early morning or late afternoon to avoid market crowds and to catch the city light along the river.

2 hours.
Light to moderate fitness; comfortable walking for 2 hours and ability to stand and crouch for photo tasks.
One ticket covers a group of 2–5 people using a single device; larger groups should purchase additional tickets so subgroups can play simultaneously.
You choose your start time—book a date/time for logistics, but the game is self-guided and can be started, paused, and resumed at your convenience.
The written guide and game content are available in English and Dutch; check your confirmation email for language selection instructions.
The game is generally suitable for most fitness levels but includes stairs and uneven surfaces; it’s not recommended for travelers with serious mobility, spinal, or cardiovascular issues.
Rotterdam’s city center was largely reconstructed after WWII bombing, leading to bold modern architecture and a pragmatic urban grid that shapes the game route.
Stick to sidewalks and marked paths near the river; avoid tram tracks and private docks, and respect public art and signage to minimize impact.
