Le Grand Hôtel De ParisThe One EscapeEscape roomIRLThis is a horror room, but honestly not too scary (for someone who doesn’t exactly like horror rooms) and there are still a lot of innovative puzzles. It also offers a very complete story, with impeccable scenic design that really immerses you in the world of the hotel
The AlchemistSherlockedEscape roomIRLThis room is a work of art, the set, puzzles, and solutions are all breathtaking. Highly recommended, especially for enthusiasts who like more fantastical spaces. Guido was excellent as our game host!
Monster MashersTales of Torchdale - Monster MashersEscape roomIRLI did this game on Dark(?) Mode as part of a 2-person group. This has one of the greatest opening puzzle sequences I’ve seen in an escape room, and the game as a whole shines in the set design, unique tech, and game master interactions (Yuri really made our experience special). Amazing game, can’t recommend it enough
Magic UniverseMad LandEscape roomIRLThis is an absolute must-play escape room. Amazing mix of narrative, puzzles, and theatre, and so many jaw-dropping moments (essentially whenever you move to a new space). I have no idea how this room was constructed but it’s something I’m going to be talking about with friends for a long, long time.
Botanica GreenhouseDaydream Adventures - BrimleyEscape roomIRLBeautiful room, fun/whimsical puzzles, and a great game master!
La Peluquería [The Hairdressing]The X-Door ValenciaEscape roomIRLI went into the room not sure what to expect in terms of the plot, but the story is surprising and entertaining, and the room itself did not disappoint (excellent puzzles, tie-ins throughout the room, acting, etc). Definitely deserves its spot in TERPECA!
Zoltar Spreekt [Zoltar Speaks]Escape Cafe HilversumEscape roomIRLI’m not sure why this is listed as a spooky room; it has a more fantasy/historical spin but regardless it is a world class room with amazing puzzles, unique story, and even a video game like aspect to it. Dennis was an amazing game master
SleepDown the HatchEscape roomIRLThis is a puzzle dense game in the best possible way. The gameplay is smooth and puzzles are engaging so that 3 hours fly by and you never realize how much time you’ve spent in the room because you just want to keep exploring and playing more. The story is clear and engaging. Really an amazing room.
Lost and FoundHotel Veloria [prev. Kamer 237]Escape roomIRLThere were times in this game where I felt like I was in a Disney theme park. The story is surprising, with intricate settings and high tech puzzles. An absolute highlight for our stay at Hotel Veloria
NightShiftNightShift - CruPont Legacy [Prev. Unreal Room Escape]Escape roomIRLI’m not the biggest fan of horror rooms, but Night Shift (terror mode) is really special. There’s a great balance of (actual) puzzles with scares, so you get both a fully-fledged escape room element and that of a haunt. There are also a few unexpected twists in the story that are very scary in the moment, but by the end of the game make for an excellent experience. You’re also never quite sure when the action you’re taking will protect you from a scare or not…
