Escape Room Mathilda was perhaps the most unique location in the region: you were locked in the hold of the Mathilda, a real clipper ship from 1896, moored in the fishing harbour of Bruinisse (later Battenoord near Nieuwe Tonge). The ship itself was the story — with cryptic clues, puzzles, locks and keys you had to escape the hold within an hour, with purchased hints counted as penalty time on the public top-10 scoreboard. The ship-owning couple welcomed guests in the day room with a drink before and after, and even offered arrangements with meals or overnight stays on board. Despite the unique setting, not a single review appeared on escapetalk or TripAdvisor; it remained a side venture to the sailing charter business and closed by late 2019 — the website is now a for-sale page. Information about it is sparse and largely historical.
