Ruben changed the script with the new information we gathered via the city tour give by Frits. We all decided to remove the javascript game and replace it with a nice and unexpected question. This to get as much (what we thought) information about Enschede. We kind of changed the subject to be more of a guessing question so that the user is more or less surprised of the correct answer.
We finalized the script and we recorded Max Schippers’ voice and it fits our concept way better than the original voice of Ruben.
This is the finalized script + question (excluding the introduction video, that stayed the same):

Hello and welcome at our next stop: Het Brandmonument. This is a monument in the city center of Enschede. In 1862 a lot of the city was burned down. The roofs were decorated at the time with pine branches because of the visit of King Willem the third. The fire spread quickly because of the fact that 85% of the houses were made entirely out of wood. But how, according to the legend, did the fire start? If you can answer this question, you will get the next dial to unlock the safe!

Location 3 (Bolwerk)
Welcome to my local pub! I like to drink my beers with my friends here. I will tell you a little bit more about the oldest and coolest pub of enschede. After you get the answer right we will head to the next spot. The french word “boulevard” is a derivative of the dutch word bolwerk, a bolwerk is a word for a defense line. Enschede had 7 of those defense lines, Café Bolwerk being one of them. Willem Wilmink wanted to be buried below this café. Willem Wilmink was Enschede’s most famous poet. One of his poems was about his and also my favorite pub. If you complete this poem, you will get the next dial!
(Hint: The poem is located inside the cafe somewhere)
’Begraaf mij onder ’t Bolwerk,
want al is crematie netter,
ik wil boven stappen horen
en het lied van ________’

Locatie 4 (3 Ganzen, Bombardement)
This was a heavily bombed place in the 2nd world war. It was totally destroyed back then. Here you can see how it could look if the bombs dropped right now. You have to look very carefully and find the letters to make a word! If you get this seven letter word correct , we can move on!

Location 5 (Van Heekplein)
Welcome at the last location! We only have one code to find, but hurry! This is where people shop now but you wouldn’t recognise it if you were here 70 years ago, it was totally bombed! I will tell you a bit more about the person this place is named after.
The square is named after Hendrik Jan van Heek, one of the founders of the Van Heek textile factory. Van heek lived in a villa just behind De grote kerk. He was an influential rich man. He was a big name in the textile scene, but besides making a lot of textile, he was also good at making a lot of other things, especially making children. If you guess how many children he had living with him at villa van heek, we can get the last dial and return to the safe!
