Exploring Amsterdam

An original, surprising, fun, and cultural starting point for your team-building event. The former NDSM shipyard is rich in history and one of the most imaginative locations for events, offering a unique blend of film, art, and street art.

Discover Amsterdam from the water with an enjoyable ferry crossing and explore both the city and the former shipyard on foot. Find a smart route and reach as many locations as possible. Collaborate, move strategically, and don't forget to manage your time—miss the ferry, and you risk losing the mission!

Experience a different side of Amsterdam, filled with culture, history, and fun.

Welcome:
Enjoy a delicious cup of coffee with a treat and get ready for a surprising team-building tour. Our instructor will greet you with enthusiasm and explain the mission’s objective. Once the teams are formed and you’ve received your iPad, the playing field becomes visible. Now it’s all about teamwork, tactical thinking, and—most importantly—having lots of fun!

The Mission:
On the digital map/playfield displayed on the iPad, there are various task points. The goal is to reach as many of these points as possible. Since the points are spread out and don’t follow a specific order, you decide your own route—whether you walk, run, or take the ferry to the other side. There are plenty of points on both sides of the IJ, so plan a creative route with your team. As you can see the positions of other teams in real-time, you can adjust your strategy accordingly.

The Challenges & Ferry Crossing:
From historical, fun, and general trivia questions to a photo challenge, and from a memory game to an AI challenge, there’s something for everyone. During the ferry crossing over the IJ, typical Amsterdam landmarks, such as canals and narrow streets, become part of the scenery. The instructor assigns points immediately, so you’ll know how your team is doing in real time. But don’t let time become your enemy—make sure you’re back at the agreed time, or you’ll literally “miss the boat.”

Of course, we’ll wrap up by putting the winners in the spotlight with a fun prize ceremony. Want to finish with a delightful drink or dinner?

This is a fantastic way to discover a different side of Amsterdam. Perfect for company outings or large groups, both national and international. Contact us to learn more about the possibilities for your group!
