“We had a blast with this escape room. We actually had picked a different room but it was meant for smaller children so they pivoted to one they felt our kids would most enjoy. The coordinator jumped into character and was an absolute joy to play along with. And after we escaped with 7 minutes left we had some snacks waiting for us! Fun time!”

“Het was een heel leuk spel om nieuwe plekjes in Brugge te ontdekken. Het enige wat ik wat minder vind is dat je heel de route zelf moest uitstippelen. Het had makkelijker geweest als je een startplaats instelde en dat er automatisch een route gemaakt werd. Ook waren er op de kaart een paar url's verkeerd ingesteld bij routebeschrijving waarbij je automatisch naar de grote markt werd gestuurd. Over het algemeen zeker het proberen waard!”
