It is a hot summer in Mechelen. Temperatures have been swinging out of control for several weeks. People are looking for cooling and the demand for new air conditioning installations is booming.

The successful firm Aircotech, led by Michel Aerts, is urgently looking for new installers. Maybe you are the new talent he is looking for. Apply today for this dream job!

Meanwhile, the news has been dominated for several days by a remarkable break-in at the Inram Research Center. Some unsavory types made off with a particularly dangerous product…

De Wraak van Han (or Han's Revenge) has been in the top lists for many years, and was on my wishlist since it opened. Fair to say, expectations were high, despite not knowing what the game actually is like. You get a beginning of the story (it is your first day working at an air conditioning company and you need to go out to fix a faulty airco unit) which is already a bit intriguing in itself. The story that unfolds however is much more interesting than what I expected! This one plays like a short film. It's a true journey, with so many different rooms that I actually lost count on how many scenes there were. This room is huge! From the initial simple city street to the final battle, everything is so well executed. The theming feels very detailed and puzzles are perfectly integrated. Nothing in this room or in the story feels out of place. Time absolutely flies by and I would have loved to spend some more time in every part of the game to explore all its details. There are some great surprises and a couple of well hidden wow effects to keep the jaw dropping going, although nothing is super spectacular. It's hard to say if it lives up to the mythical proportions that it has taken on in my head, but it deserves all the accolades it got and I'm so happy we finally got to experience this room.

Great start, creative puzzles, and lots of variety. The room is really well made, spacious, and full of details. The storyline is creative and far from standard. We were two people and got through it well. A game I’ll remember for a long time — highly recommended!

Your “Botanist Manor” mission will transport you to the heart of Scotland, to Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. In 80 minutes, you will have to infiltrate a mysterious escape game called “TimeGates”, owned by the eccentric Ewan McAllister in order to find the trace of Sarah Fisher, a journalist who disappeared a week ago.

Herald Scotland investigative journalist Sarah Fisher disappeared without a trace a week ago near Blair Manor. This historic place has today been transformed into an escape game center, called “TimeGates”.

Your mission if you accept it is to use the time machine to go back a week in the city of Kirkwall. On site, you will have to infiltrate this escape game by pretending to be ordinary customers and thus try to save the journalist before it is too late.

Over the last 5 months, local police in Kirkwall have recorded around thirty unsolved disappearances of tourists traveling in small groups. This normally peaceful region is today plunged into uncertainty and fear, investigators suspect the actions of a serial killer.

Ewan McAllister, the owner of Blair Manor, is a renowned botanist, specializing in the study of tropical plants. Following a personal tragedy, the loss of his son, Ewan McAllister changed his career direction and moved away from the scientific community. He has since created a mysterious escape game called “TimeGates” in his family mansion, now suspected by local police of being a cover for other activities.

Modern high-tech room with lots of (touch) screens and videos via which the story was delivered. The story itself was multilayered which was very fun in some parts but slightly confusing in others. Broad variety of puzzles and tasks, some super easy, other we needed a bit of explanation in the end because the solution was 100% self-explaining. Overall a  great experience and a recommendation to play :)

An old legend tells the tale of the cowardly murder of Saint-Rumoldus, patron saint of Mechelen, around the year 770. In the vicinity of Mechelen, deep in the forests of the rural town of Hombeek, Rumoldus realised his plan to build a small church.

Much against the custom of his time, he paid his construction crew a fair salary for their work, leading the locals to suspect that Rumoldus had to be exceptionally wealthy. During an evening stroll on the church grounds one night, Rumoldus was mugged by two men. They beat him to death and robbed him of what little money he had on him, before dumping his body in the river Dijle and fleeing the crime scene. A couple of days later, a passerby noticed a magical light shining over the water. Rumoldus’ body was recovered from the water and serenely laid out in the church.

Ever since, a devoted congregation has been watching over his grave and church. Every now and then, ‘miracles’ occur in the church of Saint-Rumoldus: tears start to well up in the eyes of the saint statues, candles suddenly light up near the shrine…

That is why believers from all corners of the country come to visit the church to honour Saint-Rumoldus.
Out of the blue, you receive a call from pastor Albay, nowadays the custodian of the church. Impressed and driven to despair by recent “abnormal activities”, the priest was forced to flee from the church. He now needs your help to find out what is going on and to discover the cause of the miracles…

This was the third escape room we played at this provider. I won’t go into detail about the location again, as I’ve already covered that in my other reviews.

As usual, we received an email beforehand that introduced us to the story really well and made us curious about what to expect.

This room actually surprised us in a positive way. Despite its age, it’s still a really fun escape room. Of course, there were a few more traditional padlocks than you would typically find in modern escape rooms, but that didn’t affect the flow of the game at all. The setting was well designed and fitted the theme and story nicely.

The story was also inspired by the history of Mechelen. However, you shouldn’t expect a historically accurate experience. The room mainly uses historical figures as inspiration for its own storyline.

Even though we went over the time limit, the staff kindly allowed us to continue playing at our own pace and finish the room. We really appreciated that, so a big thank you again!

Overall, despite its age, this is still a really cool and enjoyable escape room that we had a lot of fun playing!

Het Geheim Van Sint-Rumoldus [The Secret of Saint-Rumoldus]

The Blue Hotel is a small and cozy lowcost hotel. Madame K. is one of the hotel guests and the only witness in a shady affair. She is expecting the visit of a very special guest.

Unfortunately the staff is quite unreliable.

This game should be on more people's radars. It has a very clever use of space, which I haven't forgotten well over a year later. Highly recommended for anyone staying in Brussels who wants to get one more game in.

More than 30 years after the nuclear disaster, a new and more dangerous form of radioactive radiation has been discovered in the prohibited part of the nuclear power plant. These rays allow humans and animals to contract an extremely dangerous mutational disease . Fortunately, a team from the MML (Military Medical Lab) has managed to secretly develop a serum, but then disaster strikes…

All communication with the MML team is abruptly cut, so it is assumed that everyone died of the virus. However, a still working camera has recently detected movements in the forbidden areafrom the central! Blurred images show an unrecognizable, confused person. One of the researchers has probably survived with contracting the extremely dangerous mutational disease as a result! The disease causes sudden vision loss, peeling skin and an irresistible urge to be attracted to sounds and light. Now it's up to you to retrieve the serum and prevent another Russian scandal!

The experience may hit differently for some, especially if they haven't done this type of "don't say a word" horror before, but this can't compete with the unique fun of Harbor Hotel for me. Most of the puzzles are underwhelming, particularly at the beginning, and the actor interactions sometimes overstay their welcome - getting in the way of active puzzling and story, rather than enhancing it. That said, one of the most interesting logic puzzles I've ever done comes about 3/4 of the way through this game, and it's still a good time - enough to earn the heart!

Another fabulous room at this location.

This room requires a good memory and some solid team communication, and there’s also a physical element for all team members. 
It was an absolute blast and we found ourselves taking it quite seriously during the final countdown. 
We’d highly recommend this fun game and we’d happily return to play their other games.
