How do you attract people to a historical site and teach them about history?

A former custodian has lost his memories. They are hidden in every nook and cranny of an old prison. Not visible to the naked eye, but fortunately you can see them with your phone’s camera. Will you manage to find them all and unravel the mystery of De Blokhuispoort?

You catch the first memories yourself. The game continues in the monumental Blokhuispoort. The hunt for the memories takes you through the entire complex: sometimes the memories have to be caught, sometimes a puzzle has to be solved, sometimes a question has to be answered. The memories found are unlocked on the map and in the timeline.

Blok Out is an innovative attraction that brings the history of the Blokhuispoort prison to life. With phone in hand, players learn about the history of the Blokhuispoort in a special, interactive tour of the Blokhuispoort. The game can be played independently by visitors aged 8 and up, is easy to play for those without game experience, and is offered in Dutch, Frisian, German and English. The game takes about 1.5 hours.

Availability

The game can already be started at home but to play most of it, visitors must come to the Blokhuispoort. The game can be downloaded via the app stores for iPhone and Android on users’ own phones.
