About this venue
Immersive escape experience in the listed water tower De Reusch (38 metres) in Schimmert, opening in April 2026 on the 3rd and 4th floors of a tower converted into an experience centre with restaurant, ice cream parlour and theatre. The flagship room 'Arcane Initiative' places you in a psychological thriller: Professor Aurelius Vos invites you to an exclusive 'test' that reveals your strengths and weaknesses, with the tagline 'escape is not your goal'. There are no live actors, but smoke effects and technology; the room is designed for exactly 4 players (16+) and offers free online puzzles beforehand as a preview. Too new for independent reviews or ratings; regional press especially praises the unique historical setting of the water tower.
