About this experience
Are you planning a day out or weekend trip to Nordhorn, then you can have a lot of fun with this city walk. An Escape game and city walk at the same time. 2,5 kilometres long and over 2 hours of fun for the family or a group of friends. Meanwhile, during this game there is plenty of time to sit on one of the terraces. A city walk has never been so much fun. An app will help you with your quest during the city walk. The Norse Nordhorner seems like a nice and decent man. Those who know him better know better. He steals and cheats, and the residents are terrified of him. The police have not been able to find him yet, but he must be somewhere in the city. There is a trail and several witnesses who have seen him. It's up to you to find him.
