The Maria van Jessekerk Delft is one of the church towers you notice in the old centre, and several of our city games walk you right past it. Instead of ticking it off on a map, you reach it while solving a case or a puzzle with your team. You play on your own phone, at your own pace, and the route links the church with the canals, squares and churches around it.

    I had a fantastic experience with CityGame! The concept is creative, engaging, and a great way to explore a city in a completely new way. The games are well-designed, combining puzzles, storytelling, and adventure so you’re constantly discovering something interesting around every corner. What I especially love is how CityGame turns a normal walk through the city into an interactive experience. It’s perfect for friends, families, or team outings, and it makes sightseeing much more exciting than the usual tours. Everything was easy to use, the challenges were fun and clever, and it really encouraged us to look closer at the city and its hidden details. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a unique and memorable way to explore!

    This is an interesting way to conduct a self-guided Amsterdam city tour. It used the GPS on your phone to guide you to stops on a route. There are mini quizzes once you arrive at the stops on the path. The quizzes draw your attention to features in front of you or to a brief history of the place. In many cases, we visited a spot that would not have been obvious as a regular passer by. The tour as a whole was interesting to us as newcomers, but I would have liked more information on many locations we visited - a few links outside of the app for each place would have been helpful. Beyond that, the interface was a bit clunky and sometimes awkward to navigate. We definitely don't regret trying this out and feel like we got our money's worth on the experience.

What is the Maria van Jessekerk in Delft?

The Maria van Jessekerk is a Catholic church in the centre of Delft, recognisable by its tall, slender tower that stands out among the rooftops of the old town. It is a place to stop for a moment, look up at the facade and take in the street around it before you walk on.

In Delft the big names are often the Nieuwe Kerk and the Oude Kerk, so this church is easy to walk past. Seeing it on a game route gives you a reason to slow down, look at the details and talk about what you notice with the people you are with.

Which City Game routes pass the church?

Three games pass the Maria van Jessekerk Delft: Secrets of Delft, Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Delft and The Delft Syndicate (outdoor escape game).

In Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Delft, a detective story based on Sherlock Holmes, you walk along the Oude Delft, reach the Maria van Jessekerk and continue towards the Vermeer Centrum Delft and the Voldersgracht while you question clues. Secrets of Delft is an exploration game with puzzles: on your way you see the Waag, the Stadhuis and the Markt. The Delft Syndicate is an outdoor alternative to an escape room where you chase Magnus and the stolen formulas from the Markt past the Nieuwe Kerk and the Beestenmarkt.

Why a game is a fun way to see this church

A city game turns a walk past the Maria van Jessekerk into something you do together. The phone gives you the next riddle or clue, and the answer is often in what you see around you, so you look more closely than you would on a normal stroll.

You decide when to start, how long to linger and when to take a coffee break. That makes it easy to combine the church with the rest of the centre in one outing. Friends, couples, families and colleagues all find their own pace.

How much does it cost and how do you play?

Each game costs €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players. The Delft Syndicate is played with 2 to 5 players on one phone. Plan 1.5 to 2 hours of playing time.

Secrets of Delft and Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Delft run in the browser on your own phone, so you need no app. The Delft Syndicate uses the free Loquiz app. You can start whenever you want, every day, and your game stays valid for 12 months.
