DarkPark Zoetermeer: The Honeymoon Hotel

2-6 players

60 minutes

Een groenig licht schijnt door de glas in lood ramen van de massief houten deuren die achter je in het slot vallen. Koortsachtig probeer je de deur weer open te krijgen, maar tevergeefs. Je laat je ogen schichtig de ruimte verkennen. Een oude houten toonbank, een dof gouden bagagetrolley met koffers, een kapotte piano, een lift… Je bevindt je in de lobby van The Honeymoon Hotel. Achter een deur die schijnbaar naar de bruidssuite leidt klinkt gestommel, plotseling valt het licht uit…

Gloednieuw en bloedstollend, dat is het avontuur dat sinds 2017 te beleven is in Zoetermeer. The Honeymoon Hotel dankt haar naam aan de gruwelijke taferelen die zich in dit illustere gebouw hebben afgespeeld. Welke taferelen dat zijn? Dat moet je zelf maar komen ontdekken.

Als je goed luistert lijkt het soms wel alsof er contact met je gezocht wordt vanuit de geestenwereld, alsof er iemand is die je wil helpen, iets wil laten zien. Met iedere stap die je zet kom je dichter bij de onvermijdelijke ontknoping. Stukje bij beetje ontrafelt zich een bloedstollend verhaal, maar ben je bezig met een reddingsmissie, of ben jij degene die gered moet worden?

The Honeymoon Hotel is een escape room als geen andere, een beleving om nooit te vergeten, huiveringwekkend en magisch tegelijk. Niets is wat het lijkt, maar alles wat je doet brengt je dichter bij die gruwelijke waarheid. Durf jij het aan?

DarkPark's oldest offering at this venue - it has a suitably "classic" escape room feel with quite a few puzzles and rooms to work through. Although there is no live actor, they do ramp up the tension and consequently I did find there was a couple of moments where I was indeed scared. Managed to solve one puzzle entirely by accident (and from speaking to the host afterwards it is a puzzle that people struggle with, so perhaps not a bad thing). I was certainly keen to work to escape within the time limit by the end! Given it is a few years old, it has stood the test of time well.

I’m so glad that there wasn’t an actor in some of these spaces; even without they felt really creepy and unsettling let alone if someone was there with you. The set for this game is brilliant, the moment of realisation of what’s happened is grim and clever. The puzzles are hugely varied and in-keeping with the theme plus had some great aha moments / reveals to go with the solves.

Exciting atmosphere and varied puzzles that fit the story. If there was an actor, the room would be very creepy.

Reviews by escape room review sites

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.

Honeymoon Hotel was my first taste of the infamous Darkpark… A company I’ve loved since I played their at-home puzzle game The Witchery Spell. If there’s one thing I’ve learned about Darkpark that is they do horror really well, and Honeymoon Hotel is an excellent opportunity to “dip your toes in” to the theme and style the company goes for to see if their other (scarier) games are for you.

9.6

The Honeymoon Hotel is rightly considered one of the best Escape Games in the world. The immersive experience of the story is achieved here with very high quality settings and cinematic sound and lighting effects. Overall, the hour feels like a roller coaster ride into the abyss of the hotel of mass murderer H.H. Holmes. We strongly recommend the room.

Die Szenerie ist heute noch auf extrem hohem Niveau: Geheimräume, Geistererscheinen, gruselige Soundeffekte und satte sieben, völlig unterschiedliche Räume überzeugen weiterhin und machen den Raum zu einem idealen Erlebnis für alle Freunde von klassischer Rätselkunst. Das „Honeymoon Hotel“ steht ganz im Zeichen des Übergangs von Knobelräumen hin zu richtigen Abenteuererlebnissen.

L’enseigne DarkPark à 1 heure d’Amsterdam a deux locaux avec un total de 5 escapes. Nous avons choisi de jouer les salles de Zoetermeer (étant moins tentés par Freak Show et surtout le dentiste (thème qui nous fait déjà assez peur dans la vraie vie pour ne pas vouloir y aller en escape)). DarkPark s’est spécialisé sur de thématiques qui vous donnent des frissons et pas vraiment très romantiques. Alors,...

Das Honeymoon Hotel ist vielleicht nicht ganz so berühmt wie seine Geschwister “The End” oder “Stay in the Dark”, kann aber definitiv mithalten und hat uns eine Stunde voller Spaß, Anspannung und Überraschung beschert.
