Escape Room XL

Zoelen Closed 1 room

About this venue

Escape Room XL in Zoelen billed itself as the largest escape room in the Netherlands: not a classic room but an XL event of up to four hours, with thirteen excavations, tasks and secret spaces across a site that culminated in an underground tunnel system, The Maze โ€” complete with live actors and a horror-tinged story about bizarre disappearances. It aimed at corporate outings and stag nights with groups of up to around 300 people at a time. Experiences varied widely: some groups found it 'VERY exciting', but TripAdvisor reviews complain about poor guidance, incorrect signposting, an inaudible briefing and hints that were automatically given away. Around 2021 the location quietly disappeared and continued as event venue De Kaap. The appeal lay in scale and actors, not puzzle design.

What visitors say

  • Exciting concept for large groups: multiple rooms plus the underground maze
  • Live actors in the tunnels โ€” rare for the region and that era
  • Poor guidance and organisation: guides didn't know their own stations, signposting was incorrect
  • Hints were automatically revealed in the final minute โ€” no player agency
