About this venue
Hackerroom was one of the most original venue finds of Flevoland: an escape room hidden between the bookshelves on the fourth floor of Almere's new library, presented as the headquarters of the fictional 'Global Information Center'. You were recruited as a white-hat hacker and had to stop the supercomputer HAL and hack yourself out in about 90 minutes — a techno-thriller where the walk past studying visitors already felt part of the cover. The sparse reviews praise the logical puzzle flow and especially the direct confirmation at every correct step, which according to an escapetalk reviewer gave 'a euphoric feeling' and good momentum; more critical voices mention unclear instructions, malfunctioning parts and the lack of a real reception area. The room had little online visibility and has since been permanently closed — the domain name hackerroom.nl is even for sale.
