More about The Gangster's Hideout

It's 1935 in New York City. The Prohibition era proved profitable for notorious bootlegger Frankie Pappalardo, but in the 2 years since Prohibition ended he has had to diversify into a new money making scheme- dealing in stolen art!

You are NYPD detectives and you have received a tip-off that Big Frankie and his team are planning another museum heist tonight!

Is this your chance to finally put him behind bars?

Compacte maar leuke kamer

#11 Onze eerste kamer in het buitenland was The Gangster's Hideout. Na vele mooie bezienswaardigheden en outdoor activiteiten in Nieuw Zeeland kwamen we een flyer tegen van The Emporium en hebben we gereserveerd. We wisten niet wat we van een escape room in Nieuw Zeeland konden verwachten en stelden ons voor de schappelijke prijs (volgens mij 35 euro destijds) in op een leuk puzzel uurtje.

Na een vriendelijk ontvangst werden we naar de kamer gebracht die zich bevindt in een zeecontainer. Je moet hier dus geen uitgebreide kamer of technische hoogstandjes verwachten, maar aan de binnenzijde was de kamer thematisch heel leuk aangekleed. Wat ik mij er nu nog van herinner is vooral deze aankleding, de puzzels in thema en het originele einde.
Met de afspraak dat we alle gevonden codes ook in het Engels hardop zouden zeggen voor de gamemaster, verliep het spel soepel en hebben we leuk gepuzzeld. Het was voor ons een leuk tussendoortje op deze mooie reis!

Compacte kamer in een zeecontainer, maar opzich leuk gedaan.

Compacte kamer met een eenvoudig verhaal, maar leuk om even te spelen.
