Play a city game where you will follow clues to discover Rotterdam’s mesmerizing skyscrapers, modern buildings, and bridges, as well as the stories behind them. You will learn about the vision that fueled Rotterdam’s rapid architectural transformation after the city’s bombing in the Second World War, the story of the many Europeans who traveled through Rotterdam to New York and walk across the city’s iconic bridges.

Each clue will lead you from one place to another by providing you with exact directions so you won't need a map, GPS, or guide. As you solve the problem and guess the answer, the secret story of that place is unlocked.

Are you ready to explore Rotterdam’s sky-high landmarks?

Storyline:

You are a time-traveling architect from the year 7076. Every year, architects time-travel to different historical periods of Rotterdam to explore the city’s ever-changing architectural landscape.

Just when you and your team arrived in contemporary Rotterdam, the time-portal through which you traveled crashed – a group of anti-time-travel hacktivists from 7076 disabled it!

Now you only have a couple of hours to retrieve the password for a different time-portal and make it back to 7076 as the anti-time-travel hacktivists threaten to disable all the time-portals in the city!
