Overview

Delft, 16th century. You wake up in the street with a bump on your head and blue porcelain fragments scattered around you. The tulip vase you were making for the Royal family is gone. You know who did it: the Pottery Pigeons. And you are going to get it back.

This self-guided mystery quest takes you on a walk through the historic heart of Delft. Using the Questo app on your smartphone, you follow the blue porcelain trail at 11 stops: from the Eastern Gate through the Koornmarkt canals, past the Gothic Saint Hippolytus Chapel and the Renaissance City Hall on Market Square, to the Nieuwe Kerk and the Vermeer Centrum, through the Old Church and the Museum Prinsenhof where William of Orange was killed, and on to Windmill de Roos. Solve riddles and outsmart your rivals before the Royal family arrives.

Explore Delft's historic canals and streets at your own pace.
Perfect for history lovers and curious explorers. No prior knowledge of Delft or Dutch history required.
