About this venue

Questomatica, independent since 2015 after starting as an Amsterdam branch of the Russian Claustrophobia chain, is one of Amsterdam's highest-rated escape rooms (TripAdvisor 4.9 with well over 1,100 reviews). The two rooms are completely lock-free and sensor-controlled: in Wake Up! you wander through the dream world of girl Matilda, in Arcade Invasion you fight your way through a retro 1990s arcade world full of pixel neon. Visitors praise the density of proprietary technology, the enthusiastic staff and family-friendliness—the puzzles are 'challenging but fair' and work in fourteen languages. Criticism from enthusiasts concerns a somewhat thin narrative (loose challenges) and occasional sensor glitches.

From the reviews

Super vriendelijk personeel en origineel verhaal. Deze kamer daagt je echt uit om samen te werken en bevat veel humor.— escapetalk.nl
De puzzels zijn heel innovatief en ik haal een van de puzzels in deze kamer nog steeds aan als een voorbeeld van een echt vette puzzel.— escapetalk.nl
