Infinity Escape: Secret Chamber

Sofia, Apr 2024

Rated 4.5 out of 5
Two of the three rooms at Infinity Escape have a magic school theme, and we dived straight in with the second and more recent of those; which has a story inspired by the second book in a certain series of novels. When booking this room you have the o… (more)

The First Hunt

Sofia, Apr 2024

Rated 4 out of 5
Back in Sofia for the first time in six years, we played The First Hunt as the first room on a mini-binge. For now it’s the only game available at the venue, and has a fantasy historical theme involving a witch and a curse.
Our host explained the us… (more)

De Gouden Kooi: Han’s Revenge

Mechelen, Apr 2024

Rated 5 out of 5
From the name I guessed this would be a sequel to Saint Rumoldus, but it is in fact a stand-alone story. And a thoroughly original one too – pretty sure it’s the first time I’ve entered a room playing the role of air conditioning maintenance worker. … (more)

Escape Room Katwijk: Here I Am

Katwijk, Apr 2024

Rated 4.5 out of 5
I would never have guessed from the name that Here I Am is a prison escape theme. But then I wouldn’t have guessed that their previous room Bella Ciao was a robbery theme. In both cases the game is inspired by a television drama which I hadn’t seen a… (more)

Breakout Rotterdam: The Caretaker

Rotterdam, Apr 2024

Rated 4 out of 5
Breakout have an interesting location at the top of The Machinist, a historic building that used to be a naval academy. Our game was built in a converted attic space, with old floorboards and ominous nooks and crannies that immediately gave the exper… (more)

Escape010: Book of Mystery

Rotterdam, Apr 2024

Rated 4 out of 5
I instantly liked Book of Mystery, and found little to change that first impression. From the moment of entry there’s a multitude of interesting or cool things to catch your eye; this is the opposite of stripped down minimalism.
The plot is the bit … (more)

Escape010: Enigma

Rotterdam, Apr 2024

Rated 3.5 out of 5
Enigma010 have two rooms and we played both of them, starting with Enigma. I’d wondered if it were a WW2 theme, then saw the game artwork and decided it must be a superhero story. That wasn’t entirely correct; the main villain has that sort of style,… (more)

Escape World: The Golden Ticket

Amsterdam, Apr 2024

Rated 3.5 out of 5
My first impression of Escape World was of a rather chaotic venue, but I think that was the fault of the hen group who were on their way out. Once they’d gone and the staff emerged from hiding, it was a lot calmer.
The Golden Ticket takes inspiratio… (more)

Sherlocked: The Alchemist

Amsterdam, Apr 2024

Rated 5 out of 5
The top rooms in the Netherlands tend to sell out weeks or months in advance, and even booking six weeks ahead of time we were very fortunate to be able to grab a weekend slot for The Alchemist. Because although it wasn’t the game for which we’d deci… (more)

Down The Hatch: Molly’s Game

Voorburg, Apr 2024

Rated 5 out of 5
In terms of reputation to live up to, it’s hard to beat being the current TERPECA #1. Hype can damage enjoyment of a game, and in any case there is always huge variation between individuals as to which games they like best, so it’s always best to go … (more)
