DarkPark Zoetermeer: The End

This is without a doubt a brilliantly odd game. I was keen to play from seeing how little most reviews of this game gave away, and given the previously high Terpeca rankings, despite being a general "scary room coward". Unsurprisingly, "The End" starts with a funeral parlour and a coffin and then... it goes in a direction that I would be amazed if anyone can predict. At times scary, at times funny, at times thrilling, and the whole experience tied together by a live actor who is a crucial part of the story. Fantastically weird and I loved it. 

As a non-horror lover, I did not end up finding this game that scary (less so than Honeymoon Hotel at the same venue in fact) and if the horror tag puts you off, it is worth persevering with the initial scary moments as the game is in fact very manageable and the pay off is worth it. 

If you’ve ever fancied being inside an episode of Black Mirror, this is the game for you. Interestingly unnerving, dark and weirdly touching. 

The most impressive story I’ve seen in an escape room so far. Loved getting to understand what was happening and how that developed in an exciting way. The puzzles were very creative (if a little long in places) and were woven into the narrative beautifully. Our host for this game was very very good at giving subtle hints as needed. 

Such an interesting game and is somewhat strange by design. Puzzles were good if not some a little tedious. The feel and story telling however carries the game along and the sense of tension. There are some very cool set pieces and interactions. Still worth playing even if an older game. One person in our group voted this their favourite! 

One of the best escape rooms in the world. Storytellingwise my absolute Favourite!
