EscapeMania: Robin Hood

Belgrade, Mar 2020

Rated 4 out of 5
Robin Hood was an unexpectedly English theme to find in a game in Serbia, but one we were happy to book in for. In this game you’re tasked with finding the crown of King Richard in Nottingham Castle, while your unseen allies stage a diversion. As wit… (more)

Escape Quest: The Alchemist

Belgrade, Mar 2020

Rated between 4 and 4.5 out of 5
Belgrade has a decently active escaping scene, with plenty of games and companies; it’s not (yet?) at the level that would tempt enthusiasts to target it for escape room holidays, but the top games in the city are impressive and sophisticated. Of the… (more)

The Cube: Dexter

Skopje, Mar 2020

Rated between 2 and 2.5 out of 5

RAZ Escape Room

Pristina, Mar 2020

Rated between 2 and 2.5 out of 5
At time of writing, RAZ Escape Room is the only escape room in Kosovo. It also has an intimidatingly back to basics website – the home page greets you with a booking form, there’s no information on the game’s theme, and you only get the full street a… (more)

DarkPark Zoetermeer: The End

Zoetermeer, Jan 2020

Rated 5 out of 5
I do wonder about the state of mind of the person who designed a game as wickedly twisted as The End. But whatever is wrong with their head, it’s wrong in a very, very good way, because The End is a work of genius that I absolutely loved.
I’m not en… (more)
