The story

The Order of the Secret Map

Welcome, Explorer. The Order of the Hidden Map has opened a route for you in Amsterdam that ordinary visitors never fully see. Among the glistening water of the canal ring, the leaning seventeenth-century merchant houses, countless arch bridges, and the hidden courtyards in the shadows of the city, lie markers that together reveal the true Amsterdam.

A glimpse of the story — discover the rest while playing.
