Great start, hosting very good and funny. The premise was scary but didn’t live up to the heights of stay in the dark. The puzzles were fine but a little weak. The actors were very good however and really created the intensity needed. The end was fun too. Worth playing if travelling that way.

Reviews by escape room review sites

On a hot sunday morning I was meeting 3 for me unknown men in Belgium to get locked up and try to escape! It sounds like the start of a horror novel, but it was far from that. At least, it were not my team mates that were scary.

We went to Ranst (near Antwerp) where we played Chernobyl at The Start. I have to be honest, I dit not read anything on forehand about the room, but I figured the name said a lot about what the story is about. We were received by a researcher, but he didn’t tell us a lot about what was going to happen, just put the lab coats on and go outside.

There we get a thorough briefing by a Sergeant and everyone gets his own role in the game. Of course the only woman has to get the task of communication. The sergeant left us and we had to find a way to get in.

Teams, die gerne parallel arbeiten, sich gut organisieren und miteinander kommunizieren können, sind hier definitiv im Vorteil.
