More about Scarabee

WATCH THE BEAMS!
You and your team of archaeologists are invited to see the new exhibition with world-famous treasures from pharaoh Ammon. No one has yet managed to open and view the sarcophagus of the famous pharaoh. Are you and your team able to open the sarcophagus? From now on, the guard will start his round through the museum and will check this exhibition every 15 minutes for intruders. This is your chance! Beware of the laser beams, find the codes, riddles and the locks. Enjoy the beautiful exhibition with Egyptian statues and paintings, but make sure the sarcophagus is open before the new shift of guards arrive!

THE MISSION
Try to disable the security system in the museum as an intruder. And do not forget to hide for the guard!

When you book two Scarabee escape rooms at the same time, you automatically play an escape race. You then have two escape rooms, so a total of 10 people can play along.

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.

Nice for beginners!

As I have reviewed for the other rooms of this venue. The location is very nice. A nice place to have a drink, and ideally for larger groups and enterprises, as they offer several battle rooms. The personnel is very friendly, but obviously lacks the passion of a place run by the owners or enthusiasts. We played in battle modus in two groups of 4 and this modality is quite fun, I had experienced it with Wild Joe before.
I think that the same general comments apply than for the other rooms, it is a low budget room, but ideal for people starting escape rooms, as it has a moderate to easy level of difficulty and it is acceptable in terms of puzzle and ambiance. The one or the other puzzle lacked a little bit of a clear logic, but in general it was ok, with some variety of rather classical puzzles. The "interactive" part is a nice touch, again specially for beginners. All in all I have to say, that in spite of being a rather average room, we had fun and that is the most important part. Do not go there with high expectations and you will be fine. As a seasoned escape, there are many other better options. On the other hand the fact, that they regularly offer Groupon discounts is a nice opportunity to try it out. I would not pay the full price though.

Scarabee?......doet niet mee

Dit is een echte 'bedrijfsuitjes' escape locatie. De kamer zelf heeft diverse Egyptische verwijzingen maar geeft je geen echt gevoel dat je ergens anders bent. Het geeft je geen beleving die je het gevoel geeft dat je in een andere wereld bent beland. De puzzels zijn niet spannend en eigenlijk speel je de meeste spellen op touchscreens op de muur. Het is elementen en oplossingen zoeken in de kamer en dan invoeren op het scherm. Wij hebben deze kamer gespeeld als battle kamer in een strijd tegen de vrouwen. Dit zorgt nog voor een leuk competitie element. Speel je voor het eerst een kamer dan is deze kamer een leuke start van je beleving. Ben je een ervaren speler dan weet je dat er heel veel betere kamers zijn en zal deze kamer teleurstellen. De service was verder prima en de ontvangst locatie was uitstekend en netjes.

  • Mooie locatie
  • Battle kamer
  • Matige aankleding
  • Alles op touchscreen

 

Ontsnapt met 10 sec over!

Relatief moeilijke verbanden. Wij (twee ervaren spelers) dachten te moeilijk. Sommige puzzels vergten een specifieke volgorde ondanks dezelfde elementen in een reeks. Tip: volg echt de instructies van de instructeur. Bewakingselement was leuk en origineel!

Dramatische kamer

Oude kamer die totale onlogische puzzels heeft en slecht verbanden kan leggen aangezien die er niet zijn.

Spel begeleiding is erg matig.

Het is inderdaad een factory. Veel kamer van matige kwaliteit aangezien we daar ook Sabotage hebben gedaan die ook erg tegenviel

Leuk voor bedrijfsuitjes

Deze kamer heeft een hoog "bedrijfsuitje gehalte". Dit is eigenlijk bij alle kamers van Escape Factory het geval. Daarom is het erg geschikt voor de beginnende speler. De ervaren escaper kan hier zeker een kijkje komen nemen om de kamers hier als extraatje mee te pakken.

De aankleding van de kamer is prima, maar niet heel bijzonder. Het past wel in het thema. De puzzels zijn afwisselend en leuk om te spelen. De bewaker is een leuke toevoeging. Het personeel is zeer vriendelijk en de ontvangstruimte biedt voldoende mogelijkheid om even fijn na te praten met een drankje.

Deze escape room heeft vaak aanbiedingen op Groupon. Voor de Grouponprijs is het zeker een aanrader.

We hebben deze kamer met 3 ervaren spelers gespeeld en met 1 speler wiens eerste kamer dit was. Als eerste ervaring was de kamer zeer geschikt! Ervaren spelers kunnen het met z'n tweetjes ook prima af.
