About this experience
Are you planning a day out or weekend trip to Zaltbommel, then you can have a lot of fun with this city walk. An Escape game and city walk at the same time. 3 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 Brilliant Bommelaar is a very intelligent thief, who has already robbed many a resident of Gorinchem. Unfortunately, the police cannot find him and, out of shame, many people do not want to talk to the police either. So it's up to you to find the trail so that he can finally be arrested.
