Rebecca

ER No. 159 with Marco, Björn, and Volly

This was a good game. Not amazing, but good. A couple of puzzles had us stumped, and not because we didn't get them, but because some things was a bit unclear to us. A couple of things would have been better with a little touch up on the set, but all in all a good experience. The set design and sound/light is really nice, and it's telling a decent story. Cool exploration of the set, and some fun puzzles. A good experience, but with the quality of games in The Netherlands, this was still on the lower end of our 22 game weekend.

I loved this room. Although Non-Believers is more popular and this room is older, I really enjoyed the experience, the flow, the puzzles, and the environment. Yes, there are a couple things that seem a little old and worn, but it did not distract from my experience. The GM was very enthusiastic and we had a lovely chat with her after gameplay.

Rebecca by Your Escape was our second and final room of the day, played in the afternoon after Ordo Sanctus. We were the same group of four, all with strong team chemistry, and had a great time once again. What stands out immediately is that Your Escape has a clear signature style, we had played The Non-Believers over a year ago, and the same strengths were present here. High-tech transitions between rooms, dramatic lighting, and puzzles that challenge without ever feeling frustrating. Every room shift brought a fresh WOW moment thanks to clever design and visual effects. Despite Rebecca being the oldest of their three experiences (over five years old), it still holds up very well. We solved everything without any clues and finished with 16 minutes to spare, making it a smooth and rewarding run. One thing to note: the interior of the room was quite warm at times, likely due to the structure and insulation of the space, especially noticeable in the smaller rooms (though there weren’t many). A bit of air conditioning might make the experience more comfortable. Also we missed a photo opportunity at the end. Special shoutout to our GM, Jamila, who was super attentive throughout and shared thoughtful feedback at the end, showing she was really tuned into how we played. A very enjoyable and well designed experience. Recommended for players of all levels.

We cracked up at how many times the game masters said "this is nowhere near Non-Believers" (their other room) because it's a *really* impressive room. We are genuinely baffled that anyone gave this room a 👎 (or anything other than a ❤️ for that matter). The immersion starts before you even enter this massive space. Fully realized set with tough but logical puzzles. Dark yet compelling story that is richer if you take the time to process the details. A mind-blowing special effect we hadn't experienced before with some awe-inspiring moments. Spooky, not scary. Any fear you feel is in your mind. Personal hot take is that this room is a bit of a hidden gem because Non-Believers gets all the hype. We came because a game master from another company said it was one of his favorites. Side note: love how much everyone talks up each other’s rooms in this region. Also can't talk up the married couple who took care of us enough. They are passionate about what they do and want people to experience the rooms. We shared tons of recommendations. After talking so much about how great Non-Believers is and how bummed we were that it was booked solid, they stayed late to get us in. This was 23:30 and it's a two hour game. They stayed until 2am for us. All-time most amazing move from GMs. 🏆 Escape Couple rating: 6 🗝️: Best of the Best (we use a 1-6🗝️ rating scale)

Rebecca was a lot of fun for our team of two. Cheers to our awesome GM for some well placed nudges along the way. There were a couple of times when we weren’t exactly sure what to do next, but only a puzzle or two stumped us for longer than it should.

Gorgeous room with a great flow and a great story.
