“So much fun! A fast-paced series of mini training scenarios felt almost like a challenge arcade, but more escape room-y. There was a nice flow throughout, with thoughtfully paced moments of action, stillness, and humor.”

“We enjoyed all 3 experience at TheStart, but Chernobyl was their strongest offering by a mile. Our actor's performance was sublime, with a distinctive and highly athletic movement style. Great set design with some fun physical exploration, and we loved that the actual control room was nicely decorated as a Chernobyl control room for team photos. (Hot tip: if you find the Chernobyl post-apocalyptic aesthetic compelling, I recommend exploring Google Earth's extensive coverage of the area.)”

“We played Han’s Revenge earlier this year, so when we returned to Belgium we wanted to try their older room, Saint-Rumoldus. Although it their older room, it has held up really well. I loved the puzzles, the theme, and the design. Although we were two, we finished with quite some time left, so it is an easier game than Han’s Revenge (which we almost didn’t finish), but we never felt the puzzles were too easy. Looking forward to their third “experience” opening at the end of the year!”

“A great room and such a unique story. It starts linear, but then towards the end there are many tasks that could be done simultaneously. We were only 2, but 3 or 4 would have made the end less frantic, as the space was quite big. At times the story was a little confusing (seemed like two plots smushed together), but perhaps I was just confused. Regardless, it didn’t distract from this amazing room.”

“Although this has one TERPECA nomination, it isn't talked about as much as some of Belgium's bigger and flashier games. I think that's a shame. The set isn't massive but it's great fun to explore, and it's beautifully designed and suits the theme. The puzzles were solid and I appreciated them even more when I learned that the owner had based some of them on actual codes used in WWI. All in all, I think this is well worth playing.”

“If you love good puzzles that make you think, this one is for you. And the design and production are also outstanding. Sometimes with great design, puzzles can take a back seat, but here both were present. The lobby is also beautiful, and it immediately makes you realize the high standard you are about to experience. I cannot wait to return to do the other rooms!”

How Do Escape Rooms Work?
Remember those point-and-click adventure games where you’re locked in a room and have to solve puzzles to find the key and escape? Those online games were the original inspiration for the live escape rooms you’ll find all across the world today. An escape room is an immersive experience where you (and your team of 2 or more people) are locked in a room with a series of puzzles for 60 minutes. To escape and win the game, you have to look for clues, solve the puzzles, and find the key. While most escape rooms only give you 60 minutes to complete the challenge, others may have shorter or longer time limits. Many venues are private rooms where you and your team are the only players. However, some places may pair you with other groups who booked a slot at the same time. And don’t worry about getting stuck, asking for hints on a difficult puzzle is totally normal. While the original escape room (created by SCRAP in 2007) had a fairly simple aesthetic, today’s escape games often take you into a different world. Artistic set designs, secret doors, and unique interactive elements are all part of the fun. It’s like an adventure game that you can interact with in real life. But if you’re hoping to preview any rooms before you book a game somewhere, detailed images and videos can be hard to find. To keep the puzzles a secret and preserve the experience of seeing the room for the first time, most venues only offer a few photos or a short trailer about the room’s theme or narrative. The only way to know what it’s like is to go and try it for yourself!
