Escaping Utrecht is one of the city's veterans (open since 1 April 2014), located in the basement of café-restaurant De Branding on Croeselaan near the Jaarbeurs, and now continues under the banner Escaping x Funhouse. There are five rooms with varied themes, from the bank heist Let's Rob the Bank! to the Cold War spy game Project Venona, in which players receive secret messages from the fictional agent 'Malik' during play — a detail reviewers experience as genuine human contact. Reviews are polarized (escapetalk 7.1 over 62 reviews): fans praise the team fun, value for money and better storylines, while critics mention dated décor, illogical puzzle steps and inconsistent gamemasters. A solid, affordable choice for groups, less so for seasoned enthusiasts.
De puzzels zijn echt briljant! De hele entourage zorgt ervoor dat je meegesleept wordt in het verhaal.— escapetalk
Absoluut niet aan te raden. Beleving was totaal niet aanwezig. Goedkoop in elkaar gezet.— escapetalk
