About this venue
Escape Room Mysterium has taken place since September 2015 in an authentic 14th-century construction cellar on the Oudegracht, in the heart of historic Utrecht—the location is half the experience. You descend into the cellar and travel back in time to unravel 'the legendary mystery of the city of Utrecht', greeted by a host in costume playing Cornelis Vossius who provides the introduction and post-game discussion. The room revolves around discovery: ever more new spaces, compartments and props, with an original start where you must first free yourself. Visitors are enthusiastic—9.3 on escaperoomsnederland.nl across 125 reviews and consistently high TripAdvisor scores—though seasoned players find the room on the easy side.
