Scavenger hunt: The lost cookie recipe
Can you find the lost cookie recipe?
December 8th till January 4th
Help! Kitchen help Jean-Luc ran off after an altercation with chef Pierre Amory. Before he left, he hid the recipe for French Christmas cookies! These are the Baroness's favorite cookies so it would be terrible if the recipe is lost. Will you help find it this December so the family can still eat them at Christmas?
Help the baroness search
Fortunately, clues have been left behind in the castle, which will hopefully help find the recipe. But Baroness van Zuylen van Nijevelt herself is not at all good at finding clues and solving riddles. Therefore, she asks all children with a good sleuth for help. Will you help her find the secret recipe? The baroness and her whole family will be eternally grateful!
'The lost recipe' is a treasure hunt in the castle that involves solving various riddles. Suitable for children aged 6 (with some help from an adult) and older. For younger visitors, there is a variant that consists of searching for images of kitchen help Jean Luc in various rooms of the castle. For all sleuths there is a small reward afterwards!
Available free with a castle ticket and can be picked up at the museum store in the castle.
