About this venue

Outside Escape Den Bosch is not a physical escape room but an outdoor escape: a city walk of about 2.5 km that you play on your own phone (without an app), part of a national chain. The story revolves around Jheronimus Bosch's 'Garden of Earthly Delights', which turns out to be a fake at the Bosch Art Center—you search for hidden figures and texts in the forged painting while walking past the Market, St. John's and the Binnendieze. You choose between a basic and challenging version, and a three-level hint system ensures you never get stuck. Visitors praise it as a fun, well-set-up way to discover the city and the art and 'end up in places you'd normally never go'. On escapetalk it still has no reviews, but on Trustpilot (4.7) and TripAdvisor the picture is consistently positive.
