Decipher the code of Den Helder

Decipher the code of Den Helder

Fancy a refreshing walk with a touch of mystery? Den Helder Experience Game combines movement, history, and clever puzzles into an adventure for both your mind and your feet. Perfect for those who love storytelling, urban exploration, and a touch of Napoleon.

Venture through the city center, past historic Willemsoord, and along the dike. Along the way, you'll gradually unravel a secret that has been waiting for over 200 years: Napoleon's lost time capsule. You'll collect clues, solve riddles, and gather seven letters that together form the code word.

The route takes about an hour and a half and takes you past the city's most beautiful spots. A combination of quizzes, quests, and original video messages from Sil de Jutter, among others, will completely immerse you in the story.
