Curiosa At a new location in Waalwijk, the team of Epic Escape recently discovered a remarkable curiosities boutique. its owner, Jeannette, is always searching for the most obscure objects. Do you have something of value yourself? Jeannette and her friendly staff are always happy to offer a no-obligation appraisal. So welcoming, so kind... And yet, the observant guest may feel a sense of unease creeping in. Not everything is as it seems. Could this place be a cover for something far more sinister? Surely, that is just imagination. Whatever you are searching for: you are welcome. For your search, ends here.

An ending fit for a theme park attraction and worthy of this company's name: EPIC. Buckle up and keep your hands inside the vehicle at all times: This is theme park-fanatic approved! While I always could use a few more puzzles (true of most games), this company knows how to have fun with the space and you really get your money's worth - we used every minute (a lot of which was just enjoying the silliness). The story is coherent, unravels cleanly and delivers on the plot. Several moments had us cracking up and even inspired a bit of unexpected relaxation and chitchat (...tea, anyone?) - an unforgettable game and absolutely worth a trip!

An ending worthy of a theme park ride!

Phenomenal!

The puzzles themselves were often multi-layered, but I was left wanting a few more of them - more a "me" thing than any fault of the room. We were really taking our time and enjoying the silliness and got out just in the timeframe, so you really get your money's worth!

What a beautiful room. Illusion was always one of my go-to recommendations whenever people asked me for escape room suggestions. From now on, I’ll be sending them straight to Curiosa. This room is a perfect example of how craftsmanship, theatricality, and escape rooms can be seamlessly combined into one experience. The story is engaging and unfolds naturally as you play. The lighting, sound design, and technical effects are perfectly synchronized, leaving you staring in amazement more than once. These elements continuously enhance the immersion and elevate the story to an even higher level. The puzzles are also excellently integrated into the narrative. Nothing feels forced, and everything contributes to the overall experience. The set design is stunning as well. Every detail has clearly been carefully considered, and there are several fun easter eggs hidden throughout the room. Take your time when playing and make sure to occasionally stop and appreciate everything around you. The music deserves a special mention. It is absolutely beautiful and adds so much to the atmosphere. I genuinely wished I could take the soundtrack home with me. The introduction and welcome are also wonderfully executed. Compliments to our host! You can tell that the team behind this room has a genuine passion for escape rooms. It shows in the finishing touches and attention to detail, and you can hear it when they talk about their creation. A huge thank you to the entire team for the enjoyable conversation afterwards and for taking the time to share their passion with us. We had an absolutely fantastic experience.
