Two excellent self-guided tours let you explore historic Hoorn on your own terms.
The E-Scavenger Hunt ($33.28 per group) is my favorite – it’s accessible for everyone, including wheelchair users and families with strollers. Starting at Roode Steen, you’ll follow clues through the city using the straightforward Qula app. I love how it combines sightseeing with puzzle-solving fun.
For mystery fans, the Hoorn Syndicate City Escape Game offers an engaging adventure through town. Starting at Kerkplein, teams of up to 5 people use the Loquiz app to crack codes and solve puzzles. While not wheelchair accessible, it’s a clever way to discover hidden corners of Hoorn.
