Competition
Of the the friendliest kind, of course. We have many games that let people let loose!
Dexterity and patience
Games that require skill and timing.

Cooperative Thinking
Long form group challenges. Build a literal bridge, program a plastic computer, build mechanical electrical circuits (yes, that's a thing.)
Please note these can be the entire play event.
Just for Fun
All the games are fun, so why categorize them all? Skill, strategy, puzzle solving...you name it, we have a physical toy/game for it.
Anything else?
Yes, but first, we must point out that the Toy Museum is one the most highly rated attractions in Amsterdam. Our collection is one of the best in Europe and the stories the behind the toys are as amazing as they are amusing.
You will want a tour before you play.
