What Players Say
"This was the most fun I've had in Amsterdam in a long time. Loved planning ambushes and driveby shootouts. 🔫🕶️"
"Beautifull experience to explore the city in a new an creative way! A nice immersive game alone as well as together."
"Amazing experience ! I was able to navigate and discover the city in a fun and completely different way! I was fully immersed in the game!"
"The event was really well organized and it was packed with exciting missions. The other players were also very engaged in the game, you are bound to have a great time if you join!"
"If you tell me to be a spy for 24 hours, I'll be a spy. I won't just pretend. Thank you, guys! This was the most complete game experience I have ever been part of: all of its elements came together to make me feel like I was a real secret agent racing against time through a European capital, the threat of being outsmarted by other agents always around the corner. I ran, walked, read, observed and even slept like a real spy would, knowing that your game would reward me for it, and it truly did. And that such a competitive experience could end with such wholesome moments after the 'mission accomplished' proved it was designed, and played, with love."
Frequently Asked Questions
What do I get when I play?
At the start location, you'll have your mugshot taken (which will be shared with all other players) and you will receive:
- Your codename
- Your Network ID card
- Your mission briefing and instructions
- A small, stealthy water gun
- Access to the Network communication channel on Telegram.
All other details will be communicated after sign-up.
Do I play solo or in a team?
Spies generally move alone through the night, but alliances, betrayals, and secret deals may occur during the game.
What if it rains?
The game continues even if it rains. Umbrellas are allowed as shields against airborne water attacks.
How can I spot other players?
Every active agent must wear one visible accessory while in the game:
- 🧢 a cap
- 😎 sunglasses
- 👔 a tie
- 🎒 or a backpack
However, the only guarantee that someone is also an agent is seeing their Network ID Card.
What do I need to play?
A healthy dose of courage for a thrilling adventure. Every active spy should wear one recognizable accessory (a cap, sunglasses, tie, or backpack) and carry a (charged up) phone with Telegram Messenger installed on it. You may also bring your water weapon of choice.
How do I eliminate other agents?
When you hit another agent with a splash from your water weapon, they lose a life. This will keep them out of the game for the next 15 minutes, giving you time to capitalise on your kill. Each agent has three lives.If an agent runs out of lives, they are eliminated. Eliminated agents have to surrender their Network ID card.
What happens after I shoot someone?
The shot agent has to surrender one Life Token to you and stand down for 15 minutes. Report the takedown by sending a photo or video to the Network via Telegram. A kill has to be confirmed in chat by both players. The 15 minutes start counting when the kill report was confirmed in the official Telegram Channel.
What if I get eliminated?
Pick up a bandage, and rejoin as a Goon. You can't win as last agent alive, but you can still rack up kills.
Can I eliminate Goons?
When a goon is shot they must take off their bandage and wait 15 minutes before rejoining the game.
How will I receive missions?
Via a Telegram broadcast channel. Some missions are timed.
What happens if I fail a mission?
Failing to complete a mission means that you may lose your status as an active agent of "The Network", but you can continue as a Goon.
Are there safe zones?
Yes: public transport, the indoor parts of restaurants and bars, and areas where water weapons are clear not allowed.
How does the game end?
At around 23:00 the game concludes. The active agent with the most kills wins.
What happens after the final mission?
We gather for post-game drinks, awards, and stories.
Where does the game take place?
Across public spaces in Amsterdam. Exact start and mission zones will be shared at activation.
What do I wear?
Dress for the weather and for sneaking. Costumes are welcome. Each agent must wear one visible accessory: 🧢 a cap, 😎 sunglasses, 👔 a tie, or 🎒 a backpack.
What kind of water gun should I bring?
Any water pistol or Super Soaker that doesn't look too realistic is acceptable. Avoid anything that could be mistaken for a real firearm, and remember that bigger isn't always better when it comes to spycraft.
Can I bring friends?
Absolutely. If you are looking to hunt down your best (or worst) friends, make sure they sign up in time.
What happens with my data?
Your phone number and mugshot are used only for gameplay and are shared with other players in the Network Telegram channel. Optionally, you can be added to the community chat/newsletter afterward. All other data will be deleted.
