Had a wonderful time breaking the fourth wall at Illusion. At least one of the puzzles proved challenging and took longer than it should have. Otherwise the puzzles were very well done, the set is great and the story flows wonderfully. Thank you to our excellent GM for a behind the scenes look after completing.

Good opening, good set, puzzles made sense and were reasonable; I also liked the theme in general. The story is pretty straightforward, but better production than average. I enjoyed the easter eggs hidden around the space about other escape rooms (though most we never would have caught on our own; ask the GM to point them out afterwards).
Our GM was fun to talk to and clearly an enthusiast

4 enthusiasts were good, 2-3 would probably also have been fine.

One player will have to climb and stand on a ladder; if this is a problem, maybe talk to the GM beforehand so you can avoid having to be the one. All players will have to crouch a short distance.

I wish I could give this more than a single heart! What an absolute delight to play this room as well as chat with our GM Noah who did an excellent job. The set, the sound, the lighting all captured such a beautiful theatricality that is missing from so many magic themed rooms. A compelling and moving storyline that you don’t forget the second the timer starts. The narrative is engrained in the entire experience. Well worth a trip!

Our 10th stop in our Escape Tour Germany 2024. 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.

For me this is my number one escaperoom right now. I loved the puzzles and the story. But the biggest plus was the theatricallity of it al. Lights, decor, music and special effects all worked together to lift the suality of this room. Everything felt epic. Also a big shoutout to the gamemaster who was amazing. Because we were out early he told us everything there was to know about the room. We loved all the easter eggs hidden inside. Go play this one!

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!
