"The outdoor escape game was the perfect solution for our small team of 9 people. We were able to play against each other in a battle and pause for as long as we wanted. It was great fun."

"It's not easy to find an activity with children that everyone can enjoy equally. As escape game fans, we were therefore all the more delighted to immerse ourselves in an adventure in the city."

"We played with 2 teams. It was important to us that we didn't split up as a group. It worked very well with this escape game. We all enjoyed the route and the opportunity to have a coffee in between was perfect for the outing.
