The Story of Dokkum
Starting location: Parkeerplaats De Helling
On the Escape Tour , you’ll travel back to the year 1572 and step into the shoes of the courageous city physician Hendrik van Bra. While the dreaded “Walsen” are plundering the city, Hendrik clutches a manuscript to his chest in which he has recorded all the atrocities committed by the occupiers. Because he has become a dangerous witness, the soldiers are determined to silence him at all costs.
Hendrik was told that the Spanish army in Dokkum was specifically looking for him because of his manuscript. He quickly fled, but the only way out was through Dokkum’s secret exit. He had only two hours left and needed every clue he could get to find his way. You, too, have two hours to find the exit; can you beat the clock?
