About this venue
Escape from Veenhuizen is not an escape room but an outdoor escape game that has been running for over thirty years: as escaped prisoners you trek through the forests around Veenhuizen and Norg in the dark, while costumed guards hunt you. Along the way you complete tasks, can evade or even verbally mislead guards, and 'buddies' appear who secretly help you further. The game starts and ends at Grand Café Hotel Karsten in Norg, is only played from 1 October to 1 April (when it's truly dark) and is designed for large groups of approximately 30 to 80 people, usually combined with a buffet. Reviews are unanimously positive, especially about the actors who stay in character from beginning to end; the only practical limitations are the large minimum group size and the winter season.

From the reviews
Geweldige ervaring! Het is wel lang lopen maar zeker een aanrader. Spannend, zo middenin het bos en het donker. En Truus en Toos zorgen voor een drankje tussendoor dus dat is helemaal gezellig!— Google
