Mystery House Valkenburg

Valkenburg ★ 8,7 (escapetalk 8.7 (485 reviews)) 6 rooms

About this venue

Located in the old cinema of Valkenburg (Guascostraat 6) and the strongest story-driven escape room in Limburg (escapetalk public favorite 2018). Each room is built on a real historical mystery that also exists as a film: De Bokkenrijders (Carpe Noctem, 18th-century Limburg), The Lost Flight (the disappearance of Amelia Earhart), The Zodiac Letter (the unidentified Zodiac killer, cryptography-heavy), The Asylum Revealed (journalist Nellie Bly undercover in an asylum), and The Master Mind (WWII resistance, for 1-2 players, no hints, ~6-7% escape). There is also the outdoor city game Pieter's Geheim. There are no actors in the rooms, but owner Rik is repeatedly praised as a storyteller who theatrically draws players into the narrative beforehand. Visitors praise the decoration, detailing, passionate staff, and narrative intros (escapetalk 8.7 out of 485 reviews, service 9.1; #1 in Limburg on TripAdvisor). Complaints are minimal: dimmed lighting and a wish that the solution would be revealed after a loss.
