It was the last room of the day of our Escape Tour in the Netherlands. So we were all quite tired and it was late afternoon. Considering all the above. We all really enjoyed the room. Superb atmosphere, clever puzzles and the decoration one of the best I have seen. Ridiculous amount of attention de details. Even the story behind the room was good and engaging. We spoke with the owner at the end, it just confirmed how passionate he is for the craft and why the room is so good. Truly recommended for newbies and experienced players to be blown away.

The beginning of the game was one of the best and most organic I've experienced! And the game after that is great, with some tough but logical puzzles, and a great story. The game just feels really nice to play from start to finish.

I enjoyed the acting, the aesthetic, and the story. This is one of my favorite escape games in NL.

Really beautiful set design and storytelling, however some of the puzzles were disappointing with far too much reading. We also had a GM who just kept wanting to give us clues despite being way ahead of time, not struggling, and asking her to remain quiet. Unfortunately put a damper on the experience.

Really fun and well-themed room, with a super attentive host! Lots of different types of puzzles throughout as well, it was a great experience in our group of four.

Spectacular and beautiful. I’m jaded, and this experience fully grasped me. The story was clear and gripping, the music was gorgeous and the wow-moments delicious. This is the rare kind of escape room I love!

Lovely atmosphere, like you entered the life of the magician. Nice puzzles, great start of the game and very friendly hosts. After playing we got to revisit the room and ask all our questions. A must do!
