EscapeGames Leeuwarden (MeAR EscapeGames)

About this venue

EscapeGames Leeuwarden, part of the mixed-reality studio MeAR Media on the Voorstreek, offered two VR escape games: La Casa de Dinero and Moord in Boedapest. The concept is unusual: one player wears a VR headset and sees things the rest of the team cannot, so loud communication between the virtual and physical worlds forms the core of play. Players called puzzling with a VR headset 'a very special experience' and service was well-rated. Public information is however sparse: there is no escapetalk score, the own domain escapegamesleeuwarden.nl no longer works, and games could only be booked by appointment. The status is unclear — presumably dormant or quietly closed, though no official closure has been announced.

Rooms

What visitors say
