Escaperoom De Poppendokter was a small, family-run escape room in Meppel with one eerie chamber: doll doctor Douwe has lived alone with his dolls for years and is searching for 'the final missing puzzle piece' — unravel his mystery within 60 minutes or become his next victim. The Meppel location has since closed; the room relocated to Genemuiden (Overijssel), where it continues alongside sister room Het Jachthuis. During the Meppel period, reviews were mixed (escapetalk 6.6): the original doll theme and story were praised, but critics found the puzzles beginner-level and the finishing touches poor. Since the move and renovation, reviews have turned glowing (around 9/10), with compliments for the surprising gameplay and beautifully finished new space. A special detail: players could choose their hint style and scare intensity beforehand.
