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.
Write a reviewIk wacht nog steeds op mijn geld.......
Ik heb een reservering geannuleerd (volgens de algemene voorwaarden en bevestiging van de annulering gehad), maar ik wacht nu al meer dan een maand op het terugstorten van m'n geld. Zelfs na face-to-face contact en het doorgeven van mijn rekeningnummer nog steeds geen geld. De eigenaar is op geen enkele wijze te bereiken

How to ruin a room with poor service
This is probably the most challenging review to write, because I liked the room, I think even more than the other room of the venue, but the service failed in all lines and when this affects gameplay, the review cannot be very positive.
Nevertheless I will start with the good aspects. I found the theme original, the room, the story, the puzzles all theme related. I found elements that I had not seen in other escape rooms. One of these elements maybe not so great, but definitely original. There were a lot of nice elements in this room.
The first half an hour of the game run normally, and then we came to a puzzle, which apparently was activated externally. After figuring out what had to be done, we realized we had not got the information, so we needed the thing to be activated again. Otherwise it was impossible to move forward. According to the host, they could hear us in the room, we asked for it to be run again, repeatedly and we stood there without being able to do anything for a while until it was reactivated. That was the first service flaw. Without revealing what the puzzle was about (the idea was actually nice), the mistake is equivalent for instance to have a room with morse code (not the case here), play it once and if not decoded in time preventing the group from progressing.
I do not know how long we waited for it to be activated but after it was done and we gathered the information, we struggled with what to do with the information, as there was not in my opinion a clear logic, as how it should be solved, the first hint was rather useless and after a while we got a hint that allowed us to finally know how the problem was to be solved. It had two components, one was quickly solved but we got stuck on the other. In any case, 1/3 of the room's time was spent stuck on that puzzle. The gamemaster did not run the puzzle again, in spite of the fact we asked aloud for it, the hint giving was mostly useless, partially repeating things we had figured out already, and not helping with the second part for a long time again in spite of asking for it. I do not know if this was because he was following a parallel room, he was not paying attention, or he decided he would let us fail on it, but none of the reasons is valid and none of the reasons contributes to a good experience, given that to spend one third of the time on one thing is far from being fun, which is the objective of playing an escape room.
To make things worse, even though there was no group after us, he did neither allow us to finish the room, nor showed us the last puzzle and resolution, there was no discussion with him, no comments, he even "complained" of having helped a lot (which was not the case, because until that puzzles no hints were needed) and only because we asked he said something about the final puzzle. In general the communication by e-mail had nothing to do with the communication in person. Not only not interested in the experience we had, but also a rather unfriendly attitude. There was no picture taken, I had to ask to take us a picture with my phone, there were no drinks offered, well, a failure of service in all possible items.
So, all in all, it was a nice room I had fun playing it, with the exception mentioned above. I think good service costs nothing and can make a huge difference in an experience. The fact that it affected gameplay was the worst part of it.

Leuke kamer
Deze kamer was erg leuk en het thema was goed bedacht. Het was echter niet helemaal terug te vinden in de kamer. Sommige attributen voelden nogal goedkoop aan. In een bepaalde ruimte van de kamer was het erg benauwd. De puzzels waren afwisselend. De host moest veel puzzels handmatig starten, waardoor dat soms te laat gebeurde. We raakten hiervan in de war. Uiteindelijk zaten er leuke elementen in en hebben we het ruim binnen de tijd gehaald. De eigenaar kwam wel wat ongeïnteresseerd over, waardoor de sfeer na afloop wat vaag was. Goede kamer voor beginners, maar minder voor de gevorderde speler.

Het is een goedkoop ingerichte kamer, waar een aantal puzzels lastig zijn om te doen, De puzzels zelf zijn wel duidelijk, maar de uitvoering is voor meerdere uitvoeringen uitlegbaar.
