More about The Pit

Years ago, Grimhilde discovered something unimaginable at the earth’s core: a colossal machine buried deep underground.

When it mysteriously stopped, chaos followed, earthquakes surged, global temperatures soared, and now the planet is slowly drifting off course.

Tunnel 51 is humanity’s last chance to fix what went wrong.

The experts failed, but now it’s up to a team of bold volunteers—that’s you—to venture into the depths, uncover the secrets of the machine, and restart it before it’s too late.

Do you have what it takes to save the planet in this journey to the centre of the earth?

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.

This review is more than 1 years old. The situation may have changed.

Leuk met 2, geen bijblijver.

Met z'n tweetjes waren we op 2-daagse in Canterbury (wat trouwens echt een aanrader is). Daar niet zo ver vandaan ontdekten we online een kamer die destijds in de TERPECA-lijst te vinden was.
Als fervent escaper kunnen we die kans niet laten liggen.
Op de Aldi-parking vlakbij konden we de auto kwijt om enkele meters verder aan te bellen. Een klein maar fijn ontvangstruimtetje en een erg vriendelijke host.
We moeten even schakelen als hij enkele minuten later plots van karakter is gewisseld en trachten we te geloven dat we hem nog niet eerder ontmoetten. Desalniettemin begint het verhaal en wordt de taak goed uitgelegd.
Het duurt wel erg lang. Op een gegeven hebben we de taak door maar ondanks dat we vooraf onze ervaringen al hadden besproken krijgen we de regeltjes vanaf 0 uitgelegd.

Uiteindelijk dalen we af in 'The Pit' en is het meteen duidelijk dat hier kwaliteit geleverd wordt. Het is een geloofwaardig decor, de puzzels ogen stationair maar in thema en ondanks dat de kamer intussen wat jaren
ouder is ziet hij er nog heel goed uit.
De puzzels zijn van een goed niveau en van alles wat. Het valt soms terug op een ordinair basisprincipe maar soms ook een origineel. We moeten in ieder geval voldoende nadenken en samenwerken om alles op te lossen.

De stappen in het verhaal zijn goed te volgen en je werkt duidelijk toe naar een eindapotheose. Die is, ten opzichte van de realistische setting van de room, een beetje absurd maar we ervaren wel de overwinning.
Aangezien de andere kamers op deze locatie nog wat ouder zijn beslissen we er geen extra te spelen. 'The Pit' gaf ons net genoeg om met een voldaan gevoel weer de baan op te gaan.
