Wat een ontzettend leuk moordspel. De opdrachten zijn uitdagend, maar niet té. Leuk verhaal met wat humor. We (1 team, 2 personen) hebben erg genoten. Wij gingen zo op in het spel, dat we weinig van Zwolle zelf hebben gemerkt. Maar omdat we daar al vaker waren, was dat geen minpunt. Aanrader!

What is the Tsar Peter House in Zaandam
The Tsar Peter House, known in Dutch as the Czaar Peterhuisje, is a small wooden house in the centre of Zaandam tied to the visit of Tsar Peter the Great.
Peter came to Zaandam because the town was known for its shipyards, and he wanted to see how ships were built. The house where he is said to have stayed has been kept as a reminder of that visit. Today it stands protected inside a larger building, which makes the little wooden house feel even more personal. It shows a side of Zaandam that many visitors miss: the town's old link with shipbuilding and one very curious guest.
Which of our games pass the Tsar Peter House
Two City Game games pass the Tsar Peter House: Secrets of Zaandam and Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Zaandam.
In Secrets of Zaandam you help Tsar Peter the Great recover his stolen blueprints. You walk past the Zaantheater, the Monument Februaristaking 1941 and the Dam, and meet the Tsar Peter the Great Statue on the way. Peter himself is part of the story, which makes it the natural game for this sight.
Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Zaandam is a detective case that runs from the Gedempte Gracht to the Czaar Peterhuisje, past the Tsar Peter the Great Statue and the Grote Sluis (Hondemansluis). Both games run in the browser on your own phone, no app needed.
Why a city game is a fun way to see this sight
A city game turns your visit to the Tsar Peter House into part of a bigger story, so you look at Zaandam with fresh eyes.
At each location you get a riddle, a puzzle or a photo task, and the answer is hidden in what you see around you. Solve it and the next location unlocks. You walk at your own pace and can pause for a coffee whenever you like. There is no guide and no fixed start time. Friends, families, colleagues and couples all play the same way: one phone per team, everyone looking around and sharing ideas.
What does it cost and how do you start
Each game in Zaandam costs €19.95 per team: one phone, at most 4 players, and takes 1.5 to 2 hours.
After booking you get an e-mail with a link to the game. You can start whenever you want, every day, and your ticket stays valid for 12 months. With a bigger group, buy one game per team and play the same route. Plan a little extra time if you want to linger at the Tsar Peter House.
How long does a game take?
Plan on 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on your pace.
Do I need an app?
No. Both games run in the browser on your own phone.
How many people can play in one team?
At most 4 players per team, sharing one phone.
Is it suitable for children?
Yes. Children who can read join in easily, and the story about Tsar Peter the Great gives them something to look for.
