Some incredible transitions and lots of spaces to explore with nice story development. For the most part puzzles were strong although a couple did drag and the input for one (near the beginning) was quite frustrating to use. Similarly to a number of games in the Netherlands it would have benefited with some live acting to enhance story and increase intensity as although the story was quite dark and creepy the atmosphere never really managed to capture this fully.
The room is quite impressive and has an atmospheric setting. Some puzzles were challenging, which we consider positive. But there were also puzzles that only made limited sense to us and were very frustrating.
Unfortunately, we can also confirm that some puzzle elements are a bit worn out, some of them also those that could be easily replaced (a book, for example).
The friendly and very supportive game master tried to compensate for this as well as possible. We only understood the (quite interesting!) story towards the end and with the help of the debriefing, which took place in great detail and in a way. Thus, we look back on a positive experience overall, although unfortunately we can only partially understand the hype around the room.
Thank you for the very nice service and the accommodation with our requests due to the acute physical limitations of one player of the group.
An atmospheric room with appealing and challenging puzzles, which is really good to play, even if it is already a bit older. Not a horror room, but a room with a tense atmosphere.

A very nicely designed room with an equally beautiful atmosphere. The idea of a room for two people is also nice, although it must be clearly stated that the room is very undemanding in terms of riddles. It is kept very linear and most of the time you simply work on a lot of things, which after a while, especially for experienced players like us, is a bit boring. For beginners in the scene this is certainly a nice space, but as an enthusiast you might be disappointed.

Absolutely amazing game, with so many wow moments I almost lost track. Beautiful set and high quality construction. A real 120 minute journey. Hosted by one of the owners, who was lovely, and who paid close attention to us during the game both in terms of gentle hints (clever use of lighting) and in terms of making some puzzles more accessible when struggling to read in dark areas. Creepy rather than scary. One of my favourite games to date, and my favourite game in the Netherlands so far - highlight of our trip.
Older game at this venue so less impressive than the newer game we played, but would still definitely recommend - good fun with creepy theme throughout.
Wow! Just wow! What a STUNNING room!!! The hype around the room is to be trusted and so glad we have experienced this game. We have seen things we have never seen before and been tested more than ever. Add this to your list or you will regret it.
