Groningen Murder Mystery City Game – Interactive Team Walk

Summary

Self-Guided Detective Game in Groningen’s Old Town

You’ll get to play detective on Groningen’s streets, solving clues and discovering corners you might otherwise miss. It’s flexible—start when you want—and perfect for groups looking for something different than the usual sightseeing tour.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was the buzz on Vismarkt—locals weaving through bikes, the smell of fresh stroopwafels drifting from a nearby stall. Our group huddled around a printed city map, phones ready. The WhatsApp ping came right on time: our remote guide sent the first clue, and just like that, we were off.

We wandered down narrow lanes, past hidden courtyards I’d never seen before—even after living here for years. At one stop, we had to snap a selfie under the Martinitoren clock (it was just past noon; you could hear the bells echoing). Each correct photo got us another hint about the “suspect.” Sometimes we’d pause at a café window to argue over details—was that scarf blue or green? Locals gave us curious looks but didn’t seem bothered. The whole thing felt like a cross between a scavenger hunt and an escape room, but outdoors and at our own pace.
