You step off the ferry and the north bank of the IJ unfolds like a map daring you to read it. Streets curve around old shipyards, murals puncture blank industrial walls, and the city’s working past presses close enough to touch. The game routes thread through residential lanes, waterfront promenades and across patched cobbles — each stop a prompt that asks you to look twice at façades, plaques and public art.
