About this experience
Are you planning a day out or weekend trip to Mechelen, 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 1,5 - 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 Mighty Mechelaar is a scourge on Mechelen. His style is to rob, steal and run away hard. Sometimes he steals a bicycle in the process to get away quickly. The police have no leads and the people of Mechelen are afraid of him so they say nothing. Time for that to change.
