More about Water Flood

Amsterdam was always under the thread of massive water willing to cover the whole country. Today the catastrophy is even closer, as the water pump guy suddenly disappeared, and there is nobody in the whole world who knows how to activate the pump.
This is your chance to get into the water station and prevent the great flood in the city. Only 60 minutes are at your disposal, and you must use them wisely!

Zeer slechte kamer! De slechtste tot nu toe!!!!

Vanmiddag kwamen wij ruim op tijd aan bij Save Amsterdam. We werden ontvangen door een heel lief meisje. Maar kwamen er meteen achter dat ze erg druk was. Ze had meerdere groepen, en die moest ze ALLEEN begeleiden. Dus begeleiding bij lopende spellen was ver te zoeken. Na een half uur wachten mochten wij de kamer in. De introductie was erg matig en werd weinig sfeer gegeven aan het thema. Toen we in de kamer werden geplaatst waren we verbaasd. Het thema watersnood was niet echt terug te vinden, ook verder in de kamer niet. Alsof iemand dacht, we hebben een paar muren, we schilderen er een paar pompen op, en klaar!!! Decoratie was slecht en sommige dingen functioneerden niet, ook was de kamer zo afgeleefd dat je gewoon dingen kon open maken zonder de puzzel te hoeven doen. Behang liet los en er zat gewoon geen goede flow in. Zeer slecht onderhoud kan ik wel zeggen. We liepen al snel vast in het spel omdat wij sommige dingen niet konden vinden omdat de kamer niet meewerkte. Ook kregen we geen hints, want de medewerker was naar ons idee te druk, want we hadden niet het idee dat er werd meegekeken. Op een gegeven moment greep de dame in en kwamen we erachter dat er het een en ander miste, omdat een onderdeel van de kamer stuk was. Alles bij elkaar waren wij zeer teleurgesteld, de kamer is veel te duur voor wat het te bieden heeft, plus dat de begeleiding het af liet weten. Ook konden wij tijdens het lange wachten geen drankje krijgen, deze faciliteiten waren er niet. Ik zou de kamer niet snel aanbevelen.

Gesloten maar goede herinnering

Deze review komt jaren na dato, en de kamer is permanent gesloten, maar dat deert niet.

Ik las dat veel mensen dit geen goede kamer vonden, maar ik vond het wel leuk. We deden deze kamer met zijn tweeen en mijn medespeler had nooit eerder een kamer gespeeld. Het was grappig dat je een trap afloopt en dan meteen gaat speler, terwijl je zo de trap weer op kan lopen haha. Maar goed, al snel komen we van de hal de eerste kamer in. Het thema is dat je de stad Amsterdam moet redden van een grote overstroming en al loopt dit thema maar heel losjes door de kamer, de individuele puzzels vond ik erg leuk.
Met 8 seconden op de klok is dit de krpaste ontsnapping voor mij ooit. En ik schrijf dit op het moment dat ik 81 kamers heb gespeeld.

Much better than expected, looking forward to the other rooms!

Among the many escape rooms in Amsterdam, I came across Save Amsterdam in Internet several times. There were only two reviews before me about this room of the venue, and based on the numbers my expectations were not that high. Nevertheless I was happily surprised, as I found a challenging and fun room, which I enjoyed a lot. After having played some rooms, there are some elements, which you know how to use, but if it is the first time you encounter them, they add value to the whole experience. On top of that, there were some really original elements, which I found cleverly done. If you do not enjoy searching, this is a room for you, as the focus is clearly on the puzzles. It was also nice that teamwork was needed. Unluckily, there were some minor issues, for instance one element that should be removed of the room, as it serves no purpose, and at least one puzzle with a guessing component, which should be improved. All in all I found the puzzles really good.
I think there was some effort made in order to incorporate in the rooms a lot of elements related with the theme, but contrary to other rooms, the story (other than the objective) does not play a role and despite the use of a lot of thematic related elements, it does not creat the atmosphere of being in a pumping station. While this might be important for many, and I personally enjoy it as well, in this room we were so busy with the puzzles and constantly challenged, that it did not negatively influence my experience.
While the personnel was friendly and the hint giving system and timing of the hints was good, there were some minor issues with the service, which I would like to point out. When we finished the room, as we were the last, we came to the lobby upstairs and found the light off, later while we were opening the lockers a guy turned it on again. Even when I understand that the people working want to go home after a long day, this is a service point it should definitely be improved. I have played other rooms, where in spite of being the last group the owners stayed a while talking with us as we discussed the game afterwards. I do not expect that, but at least not to get the sensation, you are done, get out of here quickly. Also the whole reception area would benefit from some decoration or similar, although in other places with great rooms quite regularly the reception is not a very strong point. On a more positive note, both by email and phone were really helpful and provided quick answers.
All in all, I recommend this room, I enjoyed it a lot, and the issues I mentioned in this review are rather minor compared to the fun I had. I will surely try the other rooms, which are supposed to be more challenging. A final note concerning the number of players. Apparently it can be played with 10 (!) players, but their own website mentions that 6 is recommended. In my experience with a group of unknown people, all with escape room experience 4-5 is a good number for this room.

Leuke kennismaking met escape rooms!

Dit was de eerste escape room die ik ooit deed en het heeft mij erg enthousiast gemaakt om het vaker te doen. Nu ik dit schrijf is het al 3 jaar geleden, dus ik weet niet alle details meer :)

Een kamer met geestige puzzels, maar met een matige setting. Je krijgt niet echt het gevoel dat je Amsterdam moet redden van een overstroming. De wandtekeningen maken het er niet echt realistischer op. Maar deze kamer heeft wel degelijk genoeg leuke elementen om een bezoekje te plegen.
