About this venue
OuterGround is housed in the basement of the old Martini factory in Rijswijk and with six playrooms and an industrial bar is one of the largest escape locations in the region — complete evenings with dinner, pub quiz and drinks around it are the norm. The offering ranges from the Terpeca-rated Jason's Legacy (a house search mystery at an almost blind priest's, successor to Jason's Curse destroyed by fire) to The Execution, where a professional actor as prison guard plays the intro and the room turns into a prison break. Also: Jack the Ripper investigation The Mystery of Whitechapel, team battle The Competition in two identical rooms and hangover reconstruction The Hangover. With a 9.2 on escapetalk from over a thousand reviews, this has been a public favorite for years; one enthusiast even called Jason's line 'the absolute crème de la crème of Europe'. Praise goes to the actor intro, the story-plus-technology-decor and the praised debriefing; complaints are limited to rare technical glitches and a few illogical puzzles in The Execution.
