Sterk af te raden, mogelijk is er al dan niet bewust oplichting in het spel

Inmiddels twee keer bij dit bedrijf een kamer gereserveerd. In beide gevallen was de deur en het rolluik gesloten. In beide gevallen bleek er ook een andere groep te staan, ook met reservering, alleen wat de deur echt dicht deed was de tweede keer. De tweede groep had dezelfde escape room geboekt. De escaperoom was op geen enkele wijze te bereiken. Dit riekt op zijn minst naar oplichting, al dan niet bewust.

Ik 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.

Nice theme, nice room. Can only recommend!

When I booked this room I had some e-mail exchange with the owner (?) and I always received a prompt and friendly answer. I was surprised in a postive way, as there were a couple of reviews really negative about the experience with this venue. Luckily for us, this was not the case, we were received in a friendly manner, and also had some time to discuss the game afterwards. If I have to criticize one thing from the service is that no picture was taken, I do not know if that is always like that there or it just happened to us, but I thought about it only after being on my way back home.
The atmosphere of the room was great, I thnk it was really well-done. The decoration matched the theme in a perfect manner, and there was a nice use of visual and auditive elements. The puzzles were nicely integrated in the theme as well and they were logic. The puzzles were quite balanced, and in spite that perhaps individually they were not so difficult, the whole thing was challenging till the end, and we escaped with little more than 3 minutes on the clock. I think there was a nice combinations of mental and physical puzzles and also colaborative element, which I always enjoy a lot. A slightly negative aspect (in my view) is when the connection between locks and puzzle is not clear and you have several options. I mentioned this to the gamemaster, but for instance one of the team member says that she enjoyed trying the combinations in different lock, so I guess for everyone is different. In any case I think these things do not alter greatly the experience in any case.
I think it is a pity that apparently several groups had problems with the venue, because I found the room really good. I did not know what to expect and I was pleasantly surprised. People enjoying a little bit of a creepy atmosphere will enjoy this room a lot. I will for sure try the other room in the future based on my experience.

Boven verwachting goed

Na het lezen van dr reviews was de twijfel wel wat toegeslagen als dat maar goed gaat! Eenmaal aangekomen vriendelijk ontvangen en een spannend Escaperoom avontuur gehad!

Geslaagde kamer

The Asylum heeft een aantal spannende puzzels. Het begin van de kamer is weinig indrukwekkend, er zijn veel puzzels die je ook in andere kamers kunt tegenkomen. Wanneer je verder raakt in het spel, blijken er toch een paar verrassende elementen in te zitten. Al met al was het een leuke kamer! De aankleding van de kamer was prima. Het verhaal werd ook duidelijk tijdens het spel. Het nadeel is dat alles handmatig door de host geactiveerd wordt. Soms activeren bepaalde spelelementen daardoor te laat. Wij wilden een bepaald spelelement resetten, omdat we de instructie daarvan niet goed hadden gehoord. Normaal kun je dit zelf resetten, maar dat moest nu gebeuren door de host en dat gebeurde niet. Het was wel erg warm in de kamer. De eigenaar was vriendelijk, maar kwam soms wel wat ongeïnteresseerd over.

Leuke beginnerskamer, waarvoor iedereen wat te doen is

#25

Nadat we de andere kamer op deze locatie gedaan hadden stond deze op het programma. Zelf vind ik dit de leukste van de twee die hier zijn. De inrichting past bij het thema en voor iedereen is wat te doen. De puzzels zijn geen brainbreakers waardoor escapen goed te doen is.

Alleen jammer dat de gamemaster meerdere kamers tegelijk begeleid.

Bah..

nee, dit is geen aanrader van mij uit..
Niet eens omdat de kamer slecht was, maar wel omdat de service niet goed was in onze beleving..
Als je een bon koopt via Groupon, let dan goed op dat je via de juiste wijze reserveert, anders kan de spelleider/ eigenaar nogal geïrriteerd reageren!

Ik ga niet meer terug, voelde ons niet prettig en er werd niet op een leuke manier behandeld.
