About this venue
Dark Escape Story's is an announced horror venue on Antwerpseweg in Goudse Poort that markets itself with the promise to 'experience the magic of your own film': professional live actors, surprising plot twists and immersive light and sound effects. Two experiences are on the roster — The Last Holiday, a 90-minute horror tour through an abandoned holiday park around the escaped 'Gatekeeper', and The Diner, where you unravel a murder that has already been committed in a restaurant. To be honest: as of mid-2026 the site still reads 'Coming soon', the permit was only requested in March 2025 and there are no player reviews, scores or independent experiences to find. The only signal is a house testimonial praising the realism of the live actors — a promising concept therefore, but until the doors actually open there's nothing to book or assess.
