Secrets of the Champion's Book
a walking quest around Amsterdam

Secrets of the Champion's Book

Amsterdam knows how to keep secrets — especially the ones tied to victories.

On your walk you meet Emma, an athlete leaving for a bike race. She tells a local legend: somewhere in the city the pages of the “Champion's Book” are hidden — artefacts that teach the art of winning. Emma believes in their power but has no time to search herself. You, however, do.

Find the legendary book and help Emma reach the podium! And along the way discover Amsterdam through facts and stories hidden on the route.
