Our escape rooms in Utrecht

Our escape rooms in Utrecht consist of three spectacularly decorated rooms, each with a unique theme and its own atmosphere. You have 60 minutes to escape together with your coworkers, friends, or family members… or face the consequences! Do you already know who you’re going to challenge to an unforgettable adventure?

Mike's Laundromat: Dark secrets lurk behind the facade of a seemingly ordinary laundromat. You and your team must uncover the truth before time runs out. An atmospheric scenario full of hidden clues and clever puzzles.

Reactor 3: A nuclear power plant on the verge of exploding, a team of specialists, and exactly 60 minutes to prevent a disaster. Reactor 3 is our most intense escape room: intense time pressure, technical puzzles, and a scenario that keeps you on your toes until the very last second.

Mine Rescue: Deep beneath Hoog Catharijne lies a forgotten mine. Robin went down and never came back. You have 60 minutes to descend, find your way, and make it back to the surface safely together. Playable in Dutch and English.

Marina Engels May 2

A fantastic experience! It was just challenging enough—the four of us barely made it. The staff was also very friendly and went out of their way to help us when we were stuck in traffic. Definitely worth doing again.

Such a cool escape room! My boyfriend and I played "Reactor 3," and it really felt like a movie. The set was amazing, with lots of unexpected elements. The staff was super friendly! We'll definitely be back!!

Jens Botteram 04-05

A really fun experience—and often a bit of a scare. It’s a great activity if you’re in Utrecht; we did it as a couple, and we’ll definitely be back. I mentioned it was for my birthday, and I even got a nice little gift.
