We'll lock the door behind you. All you need to succeed is your cold blood. Even if you work together, the time is working against you... so you better keep one eye on the clock, you've got 60 minutes to find the cure against the zombies and save yourselves!

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.

Cheap but acceptable first generation room

Originally we had booked another room, as this room is said to require a minimum of three players After playing another room, they told us the room we had booked was too easy and only suitable for beginners, so they kindly allowed us to change it for this room. The first remark is that the minimum of 3 is absolute ficticious. We did it with two and the main objective was accomplished with 15 minutes to spare. Therefore, the theoritically high difficulty is clearly an overstatement.
The ambiance is really minimalistic and anything but credible, the only thing giving the ambiance is the fact that it is a basement and the darkness, which at the beginning gives a little bit of extra difficulty. I can imagine, that at the moment they opened it could be considered quite ok, but it does not live up to the expectaions of an escape room nowadays.
The puzzels were okay, but mostly not very original, with the exception of one. One of the puzzles had a design issue, which complicates its resolution. This could and should be made better. The main critic is that the puzzles are not even remotely related to the topic or the story. I think, that not even one single puzzle is theme related.
All in all it was ok, we had fun as a couples activity and doing some puzzle solving, but the room is clearly below the average. Apparently it is a room that has been open for quite a while, it may have been acceptable at that time, but nowadays not really worth going there for the experienced escapers, and also in this case the price/value relationship is not acceptable, when there are so many rooms out there.
Again in this case, the personnel was really friendly, and I am thankful that they allow us the change, as at least this second room was acceptable, but also in this venue the control room is also the reception, which is also not very professional.

Ouderwetse 1e generatie-kamer, maar toch nog leuk!

De kamer is niet heel mooi aangekleed en er zitten heel veel slotjes in. Desalniettemin ouderwetse leuke puzzels en leuke ontvangst.
