About
With the Soviet Union and the United States locked in an unprecedented arms race, and the real struggle fought by spies and submarines, the team must unravel a series of mysteries to earn the nation's eternal gratitude. The game lasts one to one and a half hours and is aimed at visitors aged 12 and over because of its difficulty and theme. It was developed together with Beeldbouw, AssortiMens and the University of Twente for the museum, which tells the stories of Twente's oldest town. A steep staircase and several steps make it unsuitable for people with limited mobility, and bookings are made by email at least two days ahead.
