During the game you will be in contact with the principal of the International Hoogeboom School. He will accompany the game and will be available for questions. The principal can cope with a lot, but we like to keep it all manageable for him.
Not that much! Everyone that participates has to be in the same WhatsApp group. Besides, a minimum of one person needs to be able to use the internet. Because of this a good connection with the internet is needed. The person(s) using the internet can search best with the use of a laptop/computer. We also advise to make use of a video call using Skype, Teams or a Google Hangouts call.
Make sure you will be all set in one WhatsApp group 10 minutes prior to the reserved time. In the confirmation email you can find the phone number of Mr. Dremstijn, the head principal. 10 minutes prior to the game you can add this number and the game can finally start…. Exciting!
Definitely! The principal will be available throughout the game and likes to think along. After all.. The mystery has to be solved as soon as possible!
The Hoogeboom Mystery can be played by everyone above the 12 years old. Groups with only children from 12 to 16 are advised to not play alone.

We can ensure you, this will be the most fun hour during quarantaine!
The game won’t be easy. But, thankfully you can always ask the principal for help and to think along.
Up till now more than 60% of the groups have managed to solve the mystery within one hour.
