About
The Escape Challenge in The Netherlands (Delft) is a unique new game experience, based on the room escape games you may know from your smartphone or the internet. There is only one big difference.... the Escape Challenge is real!
The object of the game is simple: Try to escape from a locked room within one hour by finding hidden clues and solving mysterious puzzles.
The theme of the game is The Dentist. You will be locked up in the creepy practice of the dentist and while trying to escape you will find out what atrocities took place between the walls of this horrible room!
Special effects, a specially composed soundtrack and creepy lighting effects will increase the tension. Are you up for The Challenge?
Play this unnerving game with a team of friends or colleagues with a minimum of three and a maximum of seven players.
We have a Dutch version and an English version of the game available.

I was so excited to visit Dark Park, which has been talked about so much for years... So I booked their three Zoetermeer's adventures in a row, which promised a good dose of emotions, especially for one of us 4, who is somewhat afraid of darkness and scare jumps. Well, I was not disappointed at all! I loved the three universes visited, the quality of the atmospheres set up with superb visual and sound effects, the magnificent sets, and the size of the spaces! In short, Dark Park justifies its reputation, and just makes me regret not having booked their other rooms...
Huge thanks for our four Game Masters of the day for the amazing time we had with you that day, we'll never forget it! It was not The End for us, hopefully! :-)

A bit of a day trip from Amsterdam, whilst traveling through, but definitely worth it. The team there were extremely accommodating for us undertaking the rooms as a couple. We did The End, The Orphanage and Honeymoon Hotel back to back. We were blown away with the detail and effort that goes into the rooms. Lots of unique elements and scary moments, you never know what to expect! Loved the orphanage theme and detailed elements they had in there, apparently from an actual old orphanage that closed down nearby. We were very pleased we got the chance to play these rooms, are some of the most memorable rooms out of the 150+ rooms we’ve done around the world.

After playing more than 30 escape rooms worldwide - this is so far the best one. It is a thrilling adventure! For the first time I felt myself in a movie... The atmosphere is fantastic. All the riddles are very logical. Indeed it is an escape room 2.0. I would even rate it 6 out of 5. Simply fantastic. The idea behind the rooms are selling emotions and the team managed it perfectly. Outstanding! I would not recommend this room for the first time, because after this one, you will be disappointed with others. If you are an experienced quester - you will be amazed!

Definitely the best escape room I've ever visited. We went here because they were awarded the best escape room of the country. It was a well deserved award, this goes beyond normal escape rooms in terms of excitement and fun. The whole atmoshpere and surroundings make you feel like you are in a movie/game.
I went with a group of friends and it certainly made our day. The puzzles were hard but douable for most people. I would certainly recommend going here when visiting the Netherlands!

Me and my 5 friends are all in agreement: after lots of escape rooms (in several countries), this one just really comes out on top of our list.
It's brilliant. The beginning, the challenge and the end: wicked. Tension, fun, effects, story, logic, attributes and surprises all the way through the game. 10 out of 10 points from me!
Wish I could erase my memory and do it again.
Soooo lookinf forward to the second room. I'm sure it will be a blast and I'd recommend everyone to book 2 rooms in 1 day: as soon as you finish one, you'll be pumped to do a second!

Escape Challenge definitely set a new standard for escape rooms. I have played lots of rooms in various places but this one is really outstanding. The entourage and the atmosphere in this room is so realistic that sometimes you loose connection with reality. You know that everything is not real , you understand it but you still sometimes get nervous and tensed))))) the puzzles are logical and perfectly fitted into the design of the room. I am looking forward for their next project. And if you looking for a purpose to go to Delft from anywhere in The Netherlands this room can be it.

We played „The Freak Show“ and it was definitely one of the best rooms I ever played (played 30 rooms in different countries and this one is top 2!). Sadly we really got too scared to finish the room and had to stop the game. But the host gave us the possibility to solve some riddles and finish the room without the scarring elements which was perfect, because the room offers so much and it would have been bad to miss all this just because we got too scared to continue playing. If you’re easy too scare escape challenge maybe is not the right thing for you - but if you love creative rooms with a lot to discover and great riddles you shouldn’t miss this room! It’s really different from all rooms I played so far. The sounds, the lights, the riddles, the whole idea is fantastic. I’ve never been scared like this in my whole life - but it was worth it. :-D thanks again to the host, who played the role perfectly by the way, for exactly knowing when enough was enough for us and for giving us the chance to experience the whole story from start to end anyways. :-)

This escape room turned out to be beyond anything we could have imagined. Immensely interactive scenario, awesome puzzles. I would say it was beyond escape room in my understanding of that concept. Well done!

All in this room is well balanced, good puzzles, amazing sound, lots of action and the final which just blows your mind. Not an easy location if you leave outside of that area, but more than worth a trip.

We had heard great things about the Dentist and the Freak Show so decided to head off to Delft for a day trip and play both of them. Our main worry was that with such high expectations we may be disappointed. It didn't happen, the rooms were both great. We came out of each on a high after thoroughly enjoying ourselves. The rooms are quite different to each other. The Freak Show is a creative room where out of the box thinking is required - no combination locks in this room. The Dentist was more of a traditional escape room with combo locks and keys. Both rooms were extremely well put together, full of sound and lighting effects and strong theatrical themes. This really took the rooms to another level. Highly recommended for any escape room enthusiasts!!!!

Yes, all of the games are available in English!
Zitten er clowns in the freak show? Mijn vriendin heeft een fobie ervoor maar vind escape rooms wel leuk.

Als ik me goed herinner zijn er wel beelden van clowns, maar het is geen overheersend thema ofzo. De Freakshow is geen enge escape room. Er zijn geen schrikeffecten. The Dentist kamer is wel eng en meer horror-achtig.

Ik zou dit graag doen met 3 sessies van 7 personen met collega's. Hebben jullie tips wat de wachtende collega's in die 2 uur wachttijd kunnen doen? Biedt de wachtruimte bij Escape Challenge hiervoor voldoende vermaak of hebben jullie andere tips?

Beste Menno,
Leuk dat jullie de Escape Challenge aan willen gaan!
Meedoen met meerdere teams na elkaar is absoluut mogelijk! Tijdens het wachten kunnen jullie wat drinken bij ons en alvast wat puzzeltjes maken. Teams die het spel eenmaal gespeeld hebben kunnen daarna op de monitor meekijken hoe de volgende teams het er vanaf brengen!
Als jullie geen zin hebben om te wachten kunnen jullie ook even het historische centrum van Delft inlopen. In Delft is genoeg te zien en er zijn ook talloze terrasjes en eetgelegenheden op loopafstand.
