Amsterdam is full of stories—some well-known, others buried deep in history. At Urban Legends City Quest we bring these stories to life with interactive outdoor activities for 2 people or more. Whether you want to play an exciting city game or take a guided historical city walk, with us you will discover Amsterdam in a unique way.

Discover the dark legend of “The House with the Blood Stains” – city game Amsterdam

Our game is like stepping into a real unsolved mystery! Gather your team and discover the secrets behind the infamous urban legend of Mayor Coenraad van Beuningen. He reportedly went crazy after an assassination attempt on his life. In one of his delusions, he used his own blood to “decorate” the facade of his house with cryptic symbols, drawings and words. Since then, the canal house has been known as “The House with the Bloodstains”!

PS Did you know that our game is based on real events from centuries ago?! A true outdoor escape room experience, where you learn about special history.
