This summer, happn is partnering with the brand-new Museum of Illusions Amsterdam, a spot where reality gets turned upside down and your senses are put to the ultimate test. Whether you're meeting someone for the first time or exploring new ways to have fun with your Crush, this is your chance to impress and laugh your way through a truly unforgettable date.
Why it’s the perfect date spot
Located in a stunning 19th-century church on the iconic Keizersgracht, the Museum of Illusions brings more than 650m² of interactive illusions, immersive rooms, and mind-twisting puzzles, all designed to challenge how we see the world.
This isn’t a place where you quietly walk around reading info panels. It’s a space built for play, curiosity, and connection. You’ll shrink, float, flip upside down, and laugh as your brain tries to make sense of what your eyes are seeing. Spoiler: it often can’t.
What makes it even cooler
This isn’t just fun, it’s real science. Each illusion is grounded in psychology, physics or neuroscience, making your date both educational and surprising. Think of it as the most entertaining science class you’ve ever skipped.
Oh, and did we mention it’s Instagram gold? The illusion rooms are made to be photographed together. So don’t forget to grab those pictures that say “we had a blast".
About the partnership
We’re teaming up with the Museum of Illusions Amsterdam because we believe dates should be more than just drinks. They should be surprising, memorable, and sometimes... a little confusing (in a good way).
Whether you’re locals or just in town for a few days, this is your chance to experience something new, together.
