Escape Room The Queen

Meet Beatrice Taylor. A smart, stylish woman and a brilliant chemist. She rents a space in Utrecht city centre. But what could she be cooking up in there? Taylor. The name reminds us of the Taylor family in the Roald Dahl short story ‘Royal Jelly’. The story is about Albert, Mabel, and their newborn baby daughter. Mabel is frightened because the child won’t eat and has been losing weight since birth. Albert, a beekeeper, devises a novel solution by adding royal jelly, used to make bee larvae grow, to the baby’s milk. The baby begins to drink ravenously, getting fatter. Albert admits that he himself ate royal jelly in an effort to increase his fertility, which obviously worked as their daughter was conceived soon after. Mabel realizes how much her husband resembles a gigantic bee, and their daughter looks like nothing but a big grub… Escape Room ‘The Queen’ is a tribute to the brilliant writer Roald Dahl
