Discovering Deventer: A Family Adventure

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for activities that can engage both adults and children alike. When I heard about the Escape Game City Walk in Deventer, I knew it was something my family and I had to experience. Combining the thrill of an escape game with the charm of a city walk, this activity promised a unique way to explore the city while keeping everyone entertained.

Our adventure began on a sunny morning, perfect for a stroll through the historic streets of Deventer. The city, with its rich history and beautiful architecture, was the perfect backdrop for our mission: to help the local police find the elusive Diva of Deventer. The game cleverly intertwined the city’s history with the storyline, making it not only fun but educational for the kids. As we followed the clues, we found ourselves exploring hidden gems like the Jordenshof, a tranquil courtyard that offered a peaceful escape from the bustling city.

Engaging the Senses: A Walk Through History

One of the highlights of our city walk was visiting the St. Lebuïnus Church. This Gothic masterpiece, with its towering spire and stunning stained glass windows, captivated us all. The kids were particularly fascinated by the panoramic views of the city and the IJssel River from the top of the spire. It was a great opportunity to teach them about Gothic architecture and the history of the church, making the experience both fun and educational.

As we continued our journey, we stumbled upon the Speelgoedmuseum Deventer, a delightful toy museum that took us on a nostalgic journey through the history of toys. The kids were thrilled to see classic dolls and vintage board games, while my husband and I enjoyed reliving our childhood memories. It was a perfect spot for a family break, allowing us to rest and recharge before continuing our quest.
