You step off the tram into a square of worn stones and the city immediately gets to work on you — questions in shop windows, clues tucked into alleys, and the Scheldt flowing just out of sight, as if daring you to follow. The app pings; a brief backstory unfurls about Leonardo Notarbartolo, the man behind one of Antwerp’s biggest diamond heists, and your team pulls away from the map to chase riddles through the old quarter.
