Turn Zwolle’s canals and medieval gates into the scene of a two-hour, self-guided escape game. Using the Loquiz app, teams solve riddles, photo tasks and role-play clues to track a suspect through the city.
You step off the tram into a square cut by canals and brick façades, the air carrying the click of bicycle spokes and the low murmur of pedestrians. The city becomes your board: alleys, market stalls and the Sassenpoort gate frame a two-hour chase to catch a shadowy figure named Magnus and recover stolen formulas.

You step off the tram into a square cut by canals and brick façades, the air carrying the click of bicycle spokes and the low murmur of pedestrians. The city becomes your board: alleys, market stalls and the Sassenpoort gate frame a two-hour chase to catch a shadowy figure named Magnus and recover stolen formulas.
Zwolle’s streets still show the imprint of its Hanseatic past — fortified gates, narrow canals fed by the IJssel, and compact blocks that reward sharp observation. Geology here matters mostly in how the river carved routes for trade; culturally, Zwolle blends contemporary café life with museum-lined lanes like Museum de Fundatie and the rounded silhouette of the Peperbus church tower.
The Syndicate game runs through public streets and squares, using the Loquiz app to deliver riddles, photo challenges and role-play prompts. It’s rated intermediate for puzzle difficulty but physically easy: expect two hours of steady walking, stopping to inspect clues and take photos. You can pause and resume, play in English or Dutch, and book instantly for groups of 2–5 per device.
Practical tips: download Loquiz and charge your phone before you start; plan to begin during daylight for clearer photo tasks and safer navigation; buy one ticket per group and split larger parties across devices; respect private property and local businesses — solutions require observation, not trespass.
This is a low-impact urban adventure that rewards curiosity, teamwork and a readiness to read both a clue and the city itself.
