ROX Escape Experience (formerly Project Escape)

Nijmegen ★ 9,0 (escapetalk ~9.0 (De Ramkraak 9.1)) 3 rooms

About this venue

ROX Escape Experience (formerly Project Escape) has been located on the Nyma/Vasim estate in Nijmegen since December 2022 and is considered the best in Nijmegen and surroundings. The three rooms and group game are carefully crafted: in De Ramkraak you reverse the escape and break in instead, cracking as many safes as possible while police approach (main objective plus three bonus safes, once TERPECA #24 in the world), De Bezetting is a faithful replica of resistance leader Jozef van Hovell's student house from 1943-44, built with Radboud University around a true story featuring a working period radio and rotary telephone, and in The Show you're a participant in a 1990s TV game show against a cunning host. Reviewers praise the immersion, detail, honoring of real history and the post-game chat in the café (escapetalk ~9.0 over 205 reviews, De Ramkraak 9.1; escaperoomsnederland 9.2). Complaints are minor: sometimes unclear ending moment in De Ramkraak and limited replay value.
