The real city
Not a cartoon map. Amsterdam, street by street.
Dutch Town is built from real map data, so the canals, bridges and corners are where they are in the city. One step in the game is one metre on the street.
Real map data
Buildings from 3D BAG by TU Delft, streets from OpenStreetMap.
Shops you walk into
Cafes, bakeries and snack bars, each with a shopkeeper who answers in Dutch.
Weather and seasons
Rain, snow, day and night. The town follows the clock.
A day in Dutch Town
Every errand is a conversation
09:00Say hello to Cor
Your first errand. Find him on the square, greet him and ask how he is.
12:30Order lunch
Walk into a snack bar and order a kroket. You pay in guldens, the town money.
15:00Earn your guldens
Pick up litter in the streets, or fish it out of the canal from a boat.
19:00Class at the taalschool
Take a seat in the language school and play the class quiz.

Free or Pro
Free to play. Pro to talk out loud.
Good to know
Is Dutch Town free?
