For an investigation, you and your team will take part in ten tests at THE DOME Research Facilities. At the same time, the life-threatening criminal cyborg Hector undergoes the first ever CMNT (controlled molecular neuro transmission) treatment on a cyborg. Hector oddly appears not to be sensitive to the treatment and thus manages to hack THE DOME's system with his internal computer during one of the tests. At the same time, his henchmen on the other side of the world, Thommas Wigg, manage to take out THE DOME's head of security. Because of this, there is nothing that can stop Hector's outbreak. With the result; the escape of an extremely high dose of sodium cyclate into the examination room. You and your team will become intoxicated by this substance and from that moment on will end up in a severe hallucination. After Hector's escape, will you and your team manage to let go of all logic and go along with the flow of your hallucination? Or do you get entangled in the illusion that you still have some idea of ​​what reality is under the influence of Sodium Cyclate ...

This room was a good part of why we visited this particular part of the world, and it lived up to the hype. The design was excellent, and we grew an increased appreciation for it when we looked through our highlights at the end. A nice mix of physical and mental puzzles, and enough here to keep us busy for the hour. The lighting design was a particular highlight for me. Very glad that we made the effort to come here!

A really nice room with a great atmosphere—and it was pretty exciting, too. No horror elements, but there were a few jump scares.

This room was pretty amazing. For a room without any live actors it runs smoothly and is immersive. Quite a fun story once you realize what's going on. For the theme this is pretty much as best as you can execute a room. Other recommendations would be to schedule sometime before or after to play in their lounge. They have a bunch of different types of games like ping-pong, darts, air hockey, and refreshments that are available. You could actually spend quite a bit of time here with your friends if you want to hang out and decompress before or after. They also show you video of your escape room afterwards. It's about 5 to 10 minutes of time that you want a budget afterwards also. If you're using Google Maps or a rideshare to get there, we found that it initially dropped us off on the side of the road, which is on the opposite side of where the actual entrance is. So you want to go to the Welkoop and it's right next to that. 9.5/10

I really wanted to like this room - the theming is great, the puzzles felt really fun, all the tech is so cool, but it is incredibly overstimulating and super duper loud. Ear plugs are a must. Theres also several points in the room that felt like it would be really easy to get injured.

The Dome! A game we have hard about for years, and then we are suddenly here, in the lobby, seeing the iconic door to another world. So, how was it? It was great! It was weird, it was fun, it was a lot of things! Was it my favorite, or top 5 from The Netherlands? No, not for me, but I would still recommend players to experience it. We are fast players, and we spent 58 minutes on this room, so it was just in time. Some parts were fantastic, some frustrating, but mostly fun. The story was not super clear, and while watching the video afterwards (which was really cool), the GM explained some more story, that didn't make a lot of sense to us. All in all a cool game, and I am happy to have finally played it.

I absolutely loved this room! It is probably because it reminds me a lot of Escaparium’s Ctrl Alt Reboot- just an older version of it. I did a lot of smiling through the room as the puzzles were unique and fun! This would be a room I could play over and over and not get tired of! Highly recommend!

Felt like I was in an anime! Play if you want to live out your action adventure dreams. Clever use of space, creative theming and fun vibe changes from room to room. Tricky, but not as hard as I was expecting. We played with 2 but it would be better with 3 or 4. Some elements were physically difficult with only 2 - playing with a very tall man was helpful. Also, your game master shows you a highlight reel after the fact, which was a nice touch.

Wow, what did I just play?! The Dome was a unique, frenetic dash through a variety of environments. We were warned ahead of time that even though we were an experienced group, we should still play really hard. This was 100% accurate, and I'm glad we did - we barely had time left. The set was fantastic, one of the best I've ever seen. Puzzles fit in really well and were quite memorable. Story... OK, I guess? It's unique but not meaningful, and I felt like some things weren't explained well in game (or after) at all. It's fine, I'm not here for the story, I'm here for the gameplay, and The Dome delivered.

Not necessarily difficult (though it's definitely not a cakewalk), but more that the pacing felt like we needed to constantly be rushing.

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think some elements in the very last room were not working as intended. It didn't prevent us from making progress or finishing.
