About this venue
Team Uitstapje presents Het Geheim van het Sint Jozefklooster, an escape game for large groups (15 to 120 players). It's not a classic locked escape room: doors remain open and teams are divided to solve puzzles in different rooms of a former monastery. A centuries-old secret has been hidden in the cloister since 1850; when the sisters left in 1994, they 'kept their lips firmly sealed,' and with an old map and ten hidden clues you decipher what they concealed. Hosts dressed as monks roam around and give hints in character — the hint system is itself a character. Visitors praise the atmospheric location and the enthusiastic creators (service 8.0), but the gameplay experience score is the lowest (6.8): with large groups, puzzle density thins out and it's not a traditional escape room. escapetalk 7.3, based on only 2 reviews. Note on geography: the escapetalk listing appears under Meijel (business address), but the flagship operates in the actual cloister in Monster (Westland).
