Hague local wanted

Convince a random local (a Hagenaar or Hagenees) to share one fun or unknown fact about the city. Take a photo with your impromptu city guide and remember the fact.

To the Pier

Time for some salty sea air! Navigate to the Scheveningen Pier and check in once you feel the beach below you.

The sea breeze pose

There is always wind on the Scheveningen Pier. Take a group photo where everyone poses against the wind, hair flying, with the North Sea clearly behind you.

Hollandse Nieuwe

The Scheveningen coast calls for a real Dutch herring or a portion of kibbeling. Buy a fish, take a bite (do you dare to eat it the proper Dutch way, holding it by the tail?) and take a photo of the whole team in action.

Trivia: First tram line

The Hague had the very first tram line in the Netherlands, connecting the city with Scheveningen. In what year did this tram first run?

Madurodam giants

The Hague is known for Madurodam, the miniature Netherlands. Flip it around: find a small object on the street (a bollard, a planter, a bicycle bell) and take a photo where you appear to walk over it as giants, as if you yourselves are inside Madurodam.

Tram spotters

The Hague has had a wide tram network running through the city for over 150 years. Find a tram, get as close as safely possible (on the platform or the pavement) and take a group photo with the tram clearly in shot.

Spotlight in the royal city

The final challenge! Find a beautiful Hague spot (the Hofvijver, the pier, the Plein) and take a great closing group photo with the guest of honour at the centre and a true Hague backdrop. A photo for the ages, well done everyone!

Recreate their wildest moment

Everyone knows that one legendary night out. Imitate the guest of honour at their most wasted moment ever. One person plays them, the rest directs, capture it in a photo or short video. Best impression wins.

Re-enact the wildest story

What is the most legendary party moment the guest of honour ever lived through? Quickly tell the story to each other, then re-enact it with the whole team as one tableau vivant. Capture it in a photo or short video. The more theatrical, the better.
