Dystopia Escape Game

Dystopia by Dystopia Escape Game was our 6th room of the NL/BE escape tour 2026 and the 3rd game of the day, played with the same team of three right after The Botanist Manor. This one truly surprised us, but not in the way you’d expect at first. When you arrive, the first impression is, to say the least, confusing. The road in front was unpaved, muddy, full of potholes (it had recently rained), and from the outside it’s hard to believe there’s a high-quality escape room inside. Then you enter and see graffiti covered walls, panels full of buttons, wires, and electronic components. It feels raw and industrial. The host was super friendly and welcoming, which immediately helped reset our expectations. Once the game started, everything clicked. The environment is used extremely well and fits the dystopian theme perfectly. The room is fully automated, and the puzzle flow is smooth and intuitive. From a gameplay perspective, it was far stronger than we anticipated. Some mechanics are slightly repetitive, but they are executed cleanly and consistently. We left genuinely with a good feeling. This is a hidden gem and absolutely worth playing.

This was the first game we played on our tour of Belgium and the Netherlands. The polish and variety of puzzles was good, and everything made sense. We got tripped up a little at the end, but I think it was a fair puzzle and we could have done it. The set is also good, though not as expansive or ambitious as some others. Overall it set a good tone for what turned out to be a great trip.

This was a fantastic room jam packed with puzzles. Which are very high tech and very well implemented. Creative use of space in a former munitions storage bunker. At least one should expect a moderate level of physical ability.

This was a fun room with fun puzzles. Definitely worth a look when in the area. They sit in the midst of a large area under renovation and someday their building will be next. Be sure and give Dystopia a try before they close eventually.

The setting is fantastic. It's a real-world space that has very convincingly been repurposed into an underground sci-fi bunker. And the sci-fi theming carries through to a very funny AI character (present mainly in pre-recorded vocal tracks) that adds a lot. The puzzles relied heavily on pattern-matching, which is not usually my favorite, but they fit very well into the story. Anybody who is escape-rooming their way through Brussels should include this on the itinerary.
