Small but Cute
Small-ish room. Says can be up to 8 people, but we were with 7 adults, and it felt like 1 or 2 were just extra and repeating what people had already tried. Would recommend 4 or 5 max (unless with kids maybe).
The puzzles were of easy-medium difficulty, but also mostly independent of each other. You could each work individually on something to collect one of the necessary final pieces. Hints were given on a small TV screen at the center of the room. However, even with these hints, we missed one last puzzle (mostly because the paper was stuck in a crack) and because of this we did not finish.
The escape center is inside JumpXL, so they have some combi-deals and a decent sized snack bar if you want to make a whole afternoon/evening of your game! It's about what you would expect from an all-around entertainment center.

Fantastic Experience Overall
This is not just an escape room but a whole outing!
First, the setting of the story is a monastery, and it is housed in an actual monastery! Highly recommend going at night to add to the spookiness. The reception is somehow both creepy and cozy at the same time - and they have their own beers! The experience starts here, where you are greeted by a (somewhat nervous) host. The actors explaining to you all the rules and objectives in character just adds to the whole thing.
The rooms are well decorated and themed so that you feel fully immersed in the story and there are several amazing effects as well.
It is definitely a slightly more active room than others and does involve in a few cases actually "escaping". The puzzels were just challenging enough, without being discouraging. The same types of puzzels came up in each room, giving you a bit of an "aha! now we know what to do here" clue (it didn't feel repetitive at the time, but in hindsight could be a bit). We were 5 persons doing the room, I would recommend having at least 3 as there are a couple instances where having only 2 would be quite difficult and it would take extra time.
Luckily this room gives you 75 minutes - slightly longer than the usual 1 hour - but it actually felt even longer. And, unlike most escape rooms I've done, at no point did I feel "rushed" or start to panic about time. We finished with a little over 4 minutes to spare!
We will definitely be going back for the othe 2 parts of the story!

Feels More for Teambuilding Exercises
Played with 8 people as USA (including 2 actual Americans - that didn't give us any advantage though!)
Was a bit disappointed when we were split in half after the briefing. The 2 teams had to work together to solve a lot but were also scored separately at the end (my team started off strong, but then floundered a bit halfway through). I think we succeeded in the end, but there is less of a clear "escape" and more a score card with a range of how well you did. The room is only 45 minutes, and I think it definitely would have been better as a standard 60-minute room, but I guess the pressure goes with the theme!
I can see how this room is really designed as a team building experience more than for outings with friends.
Still really enjoyed it. The theme was really nice and well done from the moment you enter the bunker.
