About this venue
Escaperoom Deventer is a small, owner-run business on Gashavenstraat, within walking distance of the city centre, that alongside two rooms also sells home games, an escape box and a puzzle walk. At Tante Agatha you come for tea in a cozy 1950s-style interior where something is amiss — the mystery lies in ordinary household items; The Monuments Men (75 minutes) sends you as art protectors racing through a series of sets searching for art stolen by the Nazis, optionally with two parallel teams. The welcome is warm, with a welcome drink and a warm-up task beforehand, and the hints via intercom are praised as proactive and well-timed without being intrusive. The scores speak for themselves: Agatha stands at 8.9 on escapetalk (105 reviews) and totals around 9/10 on escaperoomsnederland.nl. Minor drawbacks: the building looks somewhat dated and the background music is sometimes too loud for good discussion.
