Escape This Room

De Meern (Utrecht) Closed 2 rooms

About this venue

Escape This Room was an escape room on Veldzigt in De Meern (Utrecht municipality) that became particularly known for The Battle Room: one game, two identical rooms and two teams of 4 to 14 players total competing simultaneously—at the time promoted as 'Europe's only true Battle Room'. The concept revolved entirely around competition in a contemporary setting, without a distinct story. The venue has since closed: its website is offline and collection sites list the location as no longer existing. Online reviews are scarce; TripAdvisor visitors at the time called the duel format exciting because you could see the other team's progress. In the same De Meern area, detective escape room Serial Thriller now operates, possibly a successor at this location.

What visitors say

  • The competitive Battle Room format with two teams competing simultaneously was experienced as exciting and entertaining
  • Sight of the other team's progress added an extra stress factor that groups valued
  • Little story or theme—the competition format was the entire identity
  • Barely any reviews built up; the venue disappeared quietly from the map
