About this venue
Escape Room Asperen operates in Hotel/Inspirience Center De Schildkamp, under the banner of Activiteiten Asperen (which also offers Break-in-Boxes and VR). In Het Verborgen Verhaal, a hotel renovation uncovers a 16th-century fortress wall and with it, the centuries-old, unsolved disappearance of Reinoud Evertszoon — you have one hour to crack the case and prevent the hotel from closing its doors forever. The room stands out for its parallel puzzle lines through multiple spaces, keeping the whole team busy at once. Visitors give it an average of 8.1 and praise the original, surprising puzzles and a story that effortlessly carries you through the hour; one older review complains about an irritated gamemaster and slow hints.
