Escaperoom Dakar Otterlo (Otterlo Events)

Otterlo โ˜… 7,3 (escaperoomsnederland 7.3) 2 rooms

About this venue

Part of outdoor company Otterlo Events, housed in a former riding stable in the middle of the Veluwe, this location has operated two escape rooms since 2017. In Escaperoom Dakar you start in a real rally car that has crashed in a desert cave, and in Hour of the Wolf you race as a forest ranger against the clock to find proof of a wolf before the forest is logged โ€” a time limit neatly woven into the story itself. The puzzles are from the first generation (searching, codes, padlocks) and there is also a mobile escape room that comes to your location. Reviews are mixed (7.3 on escaperoomsnederland.nl): families call it cozy and 'super thrilling and very varied', but more critical players find the decoration dated, the ending unclear, and the hinting discipline of the staff inconsistent.

What visitors say

  • Hour of the Wolf is called 'super thrilling and very varied', without boring moments
  • Cozy family outing, beautiful location near Nationaal Park De Hoge Veluwe
  • Real rally car as starting point gives Dakar a unique setting
  • Dated decoration and wear and tear ('outdated escape room, not worth 120 euros')
  • Inconsistent guidance: unsolicited hints in the room, or failing to notice the group had finished
