Escaperoute Meierijstad is presented as the Netherlands' first outdoor escape route. You walk a route of roughly 3 to 5 km over forest and sand paths through recreation area De Vlagheide near Eerde/Schijndel — the actual area where American paratroopers landed in September 1944 during Operation Market Garden — and solve WWII missions along the way at the places where the events actually occurred. The game is entirely self-guided: you get the package at camping Het Goeie Leven and check answers via your own phone; the ideal group size is four people, playtime 2 to 2.5 hours. The few reviews mention it being challenging, educational and a fun mix of outdoor activity, history and puzzle-solving, with well-prepared materials. The explicit goal is to keep the memory of WWII alive in an innovative way; schools also use the route for educational purposes.
