What can you expect on the Scavenger Hunt through the Centre of Amsterdam?
Explore Amsterdam’s city centre in a fun and interactive way with your colleagues, school class, or friends.
Our entertaining, educational, and exciting scavenger hunt is the perfect alternative to a classic city tour and guarantees a unique experience and fun for everyone.
While we love sharing fascinating stories and hidden gems about our favourite city, your guide will only give you a short introduction at the meeting point. After that, the adventure is in your hands! For the next 2 hours, you’ll work together as a team, solve challenges, and discover Amsterdam in your own way. And don’t worry, your guide is never far away if you need a little help. But the rest is up to your clever minds!

Depending on the size of your group, you’ll split into two, three, or four teams.
With your first route description in hand, you’ll set off towards the first of six exciting stations. There, your first challenge and the directions to the next stop will be waiting for you.
Mobile phones are only allowed for taking souvenir photos. However, you’re encouraged to interact with locals and get their help finding answers to the questions about Amsterdam’s unique history and culture!
Who will be the lucky winner?
Have you followed all the signposts and completed all six challenges? Then make your way back to the meeting point, where your whole group will come together again. Your guide will be waiting for you to check your answers and reveal the winning team. The group that completed the most tasks in the shortest time.
In the end, of course, everyone is a winner, because you’ll leave with lots of new and exciting facts about Amsterdam!
Special wishes? Just let us know!
You can choose in advance where you’d like to finish your interactive scavenger hunt. End at a cosy café and celebrate your success with a refreshing drink and some tasty Kaasstengels, or choose a central square as the perfect starting point for your next Amsterdam adventure (or a well-deserved lunch break).
Since the scavenger hunt through Amsterdam’s city centre is a private experience, we’re happy to adapt it to your wishes and ideas. Such as arranging prizes for the winning team, for example; just let us know when booking.
A little brainpower and a lot of fun
The scavenger hunt requires a bit of brain power, creative thinking, and above all, a great sense of adventure and fun. It’s the perfect activity for colleagues and teams, as it encourages teamwork and communication and brings everyone closer together.
What will you see on your Scavenger Hunt?
You’ll discover some of the most beautiful and fascinating sights Amsterdam has to offer.
Uncover the stories behind the Spinhuis and Rasphuis, enjoy the views of the Blue Bridge and the Amstel at Waterlooplein, visit the Rembrandt House in the former Jewish Quarter, and discover the historic weigh house at Nieuwmarkt.
Step into the peaceful atmosphere of the Begijnhof and admire the impressive Westerkerk, located just next to the world-famous Anne Frank House.
Few experiences allow you to discover as many highlights of Amsterdam’s city centre in such a fun and interactive way as our scavenger hunt.
Explore the charming 9 Straatjes in the canal belt, learn more about the fascinating story of Eduard Douwes Dekker, and spot the second narrowest house in Amsterdam.
You’ll also pass iconic landmarks such as the Royal Palace and the Nieuwe Kerk on Dam Square, as well as the former VOC headquarters—the driving force behind the Dutch Golden Age.
We are looking forward to welcoming you on tour!

- Maximilian Sarg26/02/2026very nice Did this with my teenage kids and they loved it. The challenges were fun but not too hard, and it was nice that we got to explore Amsterdam’s history without it feeling like a lecture. They especially enjoyed spotting the second narrowest house in the city!read moreread lessKim McDroth15/01/2026Perfect activiti Such a fun way to explore Amsterdam!
