Discover Haarlem through an interactive self-guided exploration game inspired by the legendary story of Kenau Simonsdochter Hasselaer. During the siege of Haarlem, her spear disappeared near the old water gate and the city has guarded its secret ever since. Follow clues through historic streets, canals, courtyards, and hidden corners as you uncover the mystery step by step.
This GPS-based city game combines sightseeing, storytelling, and adventure uniquely. Solve riddles, answer questions, complete creative photo challenges, and unlock clues while exploring Haarlem’s most iconic locations and lesser-known spots. Along the route, you may pass highlights such as the Grote Markt, St. Bavo Church, the Amsterdamse Poort, charming hofjes, and the Spaarne River.
The game is fully self-guided and can be played at your own pace. Pause anytime for a drink, lunch, or extra sightseeing stop before continuing the adventure. Suitable for solo travellers, couples, families, friends, and groups looking for a fun and original way to experience Haarlem.
The game has an intermediate difficulty level and takes approximately 2 hours to complete.
