The Mission

The Port Game is an immersive adventure in the Port of Amsterdam. In this 2.5-hour game for up to 50 people, you are called upon by a brilliant but troubled professor to help bring to life an Artificial Intelligence that will democratize energy distribution. But beware: secret agents lurk in the background!

The Concept

We designed The Port Game to deviate from the by-now-conventional game mechanics of live escape rooms; instead we created a collaborative game that consists of 8 interactive challenges in an open field and one massive final challenge for 50 people. The players and interactions are guided by tablets, which serve as both classic ‘treasure hunt’ GPS guide, as well as a console for the different puzzles in each challenge.
