More about Saw - Maniac’s Lair

You wake up in darkness, chained inside the lair of a maniac who thrives on cruel games. Around you are only puzzles, traps, and clues – and the promise that only the clever and the brave will survive.

This escape room is inspired by the chilling tension of classic horror thrillers, where every second counts and every choice could be your last. You and your team must keep your wits, solve the twisted riddles, and find the way out before your time is up.

Maniac’s Lair is an intense, heart-pounding escape room designed for thrill-seekers who crave suspense and adrenaline. Can you outsmart the maniac… or will you become part of his collection?

Maniac’s Lair can be played as a group of two, but for the best experience we recommend 4+ players.

The total score of a review doesn't have to be the average of your subscores. Sometimes a room feels like it should deserve a higher (or lower) rating than the exact sum of its parts.

Combineer de niet logische dingen

Als tweede van ons bezoek aan Reykjavik gespeeld.

We werden geblinddoekt apart van elkaar geboeid in aparte ruimtes (bijzonder in het kader van de brandveiligheid).

We zijn samen op ons sterkst en het duurde dus even voor we elkaar bevrijd hadden. Ook hier is IJslandse logica niet helemaal die van ons.

Na een bevrijding (en rondslepen met onze boeien) was er een mogelijkheid om op te splitsen, dat durfden we niet aan, dus bleven we samen. Maar daardoor was er ingrijpen van de gamehost nodig om verder te kunnen spelen. Dat zou eigenlijk niet moeten kunnen. Dat haalde ons iets uit de flow.

In Nederland combineer je vaak dingen met elkaar die echt duidelijk bij elkaar horen. Hier was dat niet zo. Je denkt alles te hebben, maar er blijkt dan nog een (op het eerste gezicht) volkomen ongerelateerd ding nodig om de puzzel op te lossen.

De kamer staat omschreven als een enge kamer, het thema Saw is duidelijk herkenbaar, maar hij had meer immersief kunnen zijn.

Uiteindelijk wel ontsnapt, maar toch met nog veel vragen. Er zit potentie in deze kamer, maar het voelde alsof hij niet heel goed getest is.
