The story of Scrooge Amsterdam

Amsterdam is wrapped in festive lights, but not everyone is feeling the holiday spirit. Scrooge remains cold, distant and determined to ignore the joy of the season.

That is where you come in. As guiding spirits, you and your team are given the task to lead Scrooge through a journey that challenges his outlook on Christmas. Along the way, you complete puzzles, solve riddles and take on light-hearted challenges that gradually help shift his perspective.

Each completed assignment brings you closer to your goal: transforming Scrooge’s gloomy mindset into one filled with warmth and generosity. The mission is playful and festive, yet structured around a clear narrative that unfolds step by step.

The city becomes the stage for this Christmas story, but the heart of the experience lies in the mission to change Scrooge’s fate.
