Escaperoom De Berechting

Lochem Closed 1 room

About this venue

Escaperoom De Berechting was a small, now permanently closed single-room venue in the historic old town hall at the Markt in Lochem. The concept was a cold case: during renovation work at Markt 2 โ€” the building where you actually stand โ€” female DNA from one Eliza Jacobs is discovered, and a high-ranking judge stands trial for her abduction and murder. Players were briefed as a forensic team with a case file full of investigation materials and received a debrief with the true outcome afterward. The few available reviews praised the convincing story, the beautiful room decor, and the fact that everyone stayed busy the entire hour; some criticism was that players would have liked more classic puzzles alongside the deduction work. The venue quietly closed around 2022; directories mark it 'closed' and the website is offline.
