About this venue

Escape World Utrecht is a chain location on Sint-Jacobsstraat in the heart of Utrecht with three themes spread across four rooms (up to 24 players, NL/EN). The showpiece is The Midnight Express, a luxury night train to Constantinople full of mysterious passengers with Orient Express atmosphere, where antique telephones in the compartments serve as a hint line to the game master. There's also the magic mystery The Vanishing Act and horror-lite Cabin in the Woods, which can be played as a dual 'battle room' against each other. Visitors rave about the décor ('finished down to the ceiling'), varied puzzles, and warm, helpful gamemasters; the location scores 9.4 on escaperoomsnederland.nl. Minor criticisms: The Vanishing Act leans too heavily on searching for some, and the finale of the Midnight Express breaks the train illusion slightly.
