The ‘Archief Challenge’ introduces students (typically ages 10-12) to the Amsterdam City Archives, cultural heritage, and the importance of preservation. The program is structured as an escape game that takes place in the Schatkamer (Treasury) of the archives. The educational value of the Archief Challenge lies in its ability to engage students in hands-on learning about cultural heritage, fostering critical thinking and teamwork while instilling an appreciation for the importance of preserving historical records.

This educational program is developed and designed by us in collaboration with Linda Maas and Stefanie van Odenhoven.
