do the Quest

Do the Quest - through the streets of Amsterdam or from wherever you are - and experience the immersive world of Augmented Reality story telling by the Amsterdam Monsters. The Quest entails visiting seven different iconic locations through the city of Amsterdam. At each location the waiting Monsters tell the history of that place through the values that they represent, and connect it to the open minded spirit of Amsterdam.

Viewed through a telephone or tablet, each story is a unique fully animated experience, complete with music, sound effects, special effects, 3D sound (and admittedly some bad Dad jokes) – on top of hearing the engaging (hi)stories of the beautiful city of Amsterdam.

And that’s not all!….. collecting a virtual ‘Amsterdam X’ at the conclusion of every story delivers Monster discounts and rewards in Amsterdam businesses when you finish the Quest!.
So what are you waiting for? Join the Quest in Amsterdam – or whereever you are in the world, and grab a little of Amsterdam’s spirit for yourself!
