What’s the experience like?

I’ll admit, I didn’t expect to chase a robot dog through Eindhoven — well, not literally, but that’s how this Outside Escape tour felt. We started in some quiet residential area (the kind where you hear bikes whirring past and someone’s frying onions for lunch), phones out, squinting at the first riddle. My partner tried to overthink it; I just guessed. The app kept us moving, but never rushed — we could pause for coffee or just stand there arguing about clues. It was weirdly fun.

The route took us past this old church-turned-hotel — honestly, I almost missed the sign because I was distracted by the smell of fresh bread from a bakery around the corner. Our guide (well, the app voice) nudged us into a hidden garden where we sat on a cold stone bench and shared a pastry. There were locals chatting nearby, one guy in a PSV jacket laughing way too loud. The next clue had us peering up at street art and trying to pronounce Dutch street names (Li laughed when I tried to say one — probably butchered it).

By the time we reached city hall and then one of Eindhoven’s breweries, the sun had dipped behind clouds and everything felt softer somehow. We didn’t rush; nobody does here. The last riddle was outside another church at the start of Stratumseind — apparently the big bar street — and I remember thinking how much more alive the city felt when you’re actually looking for things instead of just walking by them. Even now, I still think about that garden snack break.
