I enjoyed this, although we did get caught out with a “you’re late!”, only to start to argue that we were 20 minutes early, before realising this was part of the briefing. It was interesting seeing how people offered us the use of lockers and bathrooms ‘in-character’. We often (but not always) arrived to be greeted by someone absolutely in character, not breaking for a second. Secondly, briefings are given in-character. In the Netherlands it was much more “please make yourself comfortable” and I loved that. In the UK you’re lucky if there’s an old vending machine in the corner. This includes alcoholic drinks, and often merchandise too. Usually the lobbies are unmanned, but you can pick up a little checklist if you plan to take a bunch of stuff. We stayed in Rotterdam which is South-Central, and a lot less expensive than somewhere like Amsterdam.Įscape Rooms in the Netherlands – General Observationsīefore I get into the details of each room, I wanted to share a few observations we noticed about Dutch escape rooms in general.įirstly, there’s this amazing trust system in the lobby that simply would not work in the UK, and that is that you can help yourself to drinks and snacks before and after. In fact no two escape rooms we needed to travel by took more than 1 hour, or cost more than about €14. In terms of transport, the Netherlands is incredibly well connected by train, bus and tram.

Simply head to this page and CTRL+F “Netherlands” and you’ll quickly see how well represented this fantastic country is in the rankings. If you want a complete list of the best rooms to play, I highly recommend checking out the latest TERPECA winners. So this list isn’t an exhaustive, complete list to ‘the best’ rooms, but more a general look at what we loved most about the ones we played. I’m sure this list of rooms will come as a surprise to absolutely no-one, since our trip was “ Let’s play as many of the best escape rooms in the Netherlands as we possibly can“, but there are of course a number of rooms we just didn’t get round to playing this time. So, if you’re reading this blog looking for a good escape room to play in the UK – stop what you’re doing and book a train to the Netherlands instead! That is, barring the few awesome “play at home” ones which we invariably did play from the comfort of our homes here in the UK… But then sometimes you go on an ‘escape room road trip’ to another country and are just so downright blown away by what you experienced you immediately come home and open up a “New Post” to start writing about them.
