The Hunt Wassenaar 2026

Are you between 12 and 18 years old and do you live in Wassenaar? Do you think you’re smart and quick enough to stay one step ahead of a team of investigators? Then join The Hunt: an exciting real-life game through the village!

During The Hunt, you’ll set off with other participants to visit various checkpoints in Wassenaar. At each checkpoint, you’ll collect a wristband. Once you’ve collected them all, race back to the starting point. The first one to get there wins!

But be careful: you're not alone. There are Hunters roaming the village—think police, law enforcement officers, and undercover agents—who are trying to catch you. If you get caught twice, you're unfortunately out of the game. So playing smart and working together is the key to success!
