★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 103 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $48Our pick

At Escape Hunt Brussels, you and your private group get 60 minutes to solve a creative escape game in a carefully decorated setting. The activity begins at Rue de Livourne in Saint-Gilles and ends there. Expect an English-language game, a team picture, and a coordinator who may play along in character.

“We had a blast with this escape room. We actually had picked a different room but it was meant for smaller children so they pivoted to one they felt our kids would most enjoy. The coordinator jumped into character and was an absolute joy to play along with. And after we escaped with 7 minutes left we had some snacks waiting for us! Fun time!”

2.e-Scavenger hunt Antwerp: Explore the city at your own pace

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 67 reviews · 3 hours (approx.)

You guide your own group of up to six through Antwerp using a smartphone app, starting at Groenplaats and visiting landmarks such as Grote Markt, the Cathedral, Het Steen, Vlaeykensgang, and the Meir. The trail is available around the clock, supports several languages, and lets you pause whenever you wish.

“We (my brother and I) completed the walk and were left not totally disapppointed but decidedly unimpressed. The walk did touch upon the majority of the key spots in and around the Antwerp city center, but the texts were uninspired - missing both anything unique or special - and the riddles and their answers were not really enlightening, and did not add anything to understanding or appreciating the city. Overall, we left with the feeling that using a different tour would have been better.”

Beer Tasting and Scavenger Hunt in Brussels – About 3 Hours

6.Beer Tasting and Scavenger Hunt in Brussels – About 3 Hours

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 35 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $40

Explore central Brussels with a puzzle booklet rather than a live guide. Start at Rue de l'Ecuyer 5, solve clues around Grand Place, Manneken Pis, and the Queen's Gallery, and visit bars for Belgian beer tasting. The private format suits your own group, but the map and clues require patience.

“THIS IS A SELF GUIDED TOUR! You are required to figure out puzzles to get to the next step which is a neat idea but can be very frustrating if you miss a facade or something on a wall. I wasn’t aware it was self guided and would have appreciated if it was in the description as I wouldn’t have booked knowing it was the way it is. The beers at the various bars were good but were half pints. You are provided with a book full of puzzles and it has the answers and a map that’s very hard to read.”
