"Uw bestelling ligt klaar", zegt een krakerige stem door de telefoon vlak voordat er wordt opgehangen. Niet veel later sta je met knikkende knieen voor de deur van een oude grafkistenwinkel. De deur piept als je hem opent en een enorme grafkist staart je aan vanuit het midden van de winkel. Waar ben je aan begonnen en waar leidt dit avontuur je naartoe?

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!

Great and unique story that starts out creepy and becomes increasingly funny. The quirky humor of the Dark Park rooms is truly something special!

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

Reviews by escape room review sites

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 entirely sure how to review it without spoilers. I can't really talk about the plot, the ending, the beginning, or most of the bits along the way. I might have to settle for just cryptically gushing about the various brilliant moments that had me grinn...

Two fantastic games that should definitely be on your to-do list, especially if you like scary attractions. Decoration is top-notch across the games. The End wins the story battle while Honeymoon Hotel comprehensively wins for quality and quantity of puzzles.
From the beginning, straight through to, well, the end, The End was nothing like what I expected, and delightfully twisty. DarkPark themselves describe The End as a mix of escape room and immersive theatre, and honestly, I can’t think of a better way to describe it.

DarkPark has created an experience with The End that will not please every gamer. The End surprised us several times. For example, the settings and the pyrotechnics are worth mentioning here. However, the biggest strength of The End for us is the storytelling. 

The DarkPark sign at 1 hour from Amsterdam to two premises with a total of 5 escapes. We chose to play the rooms of Zoetermeer (being less tempted by Freak Show and especially the dentist (a theme that already scares us enough in real life not to want to escape there).DarkPark is specialized on themes that give you chills and not really very romantic.The End is the 2nd adventure we will play here. We are always accompanied by the same MJ who after a room is smiling and pleasant, but before...
The End zählt zweifelsohne zu den ganz Großen und sollte auf der Pflichtliste von Escape-Room-Fans stehen. Und wer sich vor allem an spannenden, storyintensiven Live-Experiences mit filmreifen Sets sowie genialer Licht- und Geruchstechnik (!) erfreut, für den führt eh kaum ein Weg an eine Reise ins holländische Zoetermeer vorbei.
9,8/10
The End ist ein spektakuläres Spiel […] ein Must-Play für Grusel- und Storyfans.
