Outdoor Escape Hoeven has taken place in Pagnevaartbos since 2019: 'you're not locked in a small room, you get an entire forest at your disposal'. With map and compass, walkie-talkies and a metal detector you search through the real forest for buried treasures. In the flagship game 'De Turfstekers' (1595) you find the recently discovered chest and letter of elderly peat digger Willem Hendriks, who hid riches so his cruel foreman wouldn't get them. Other games draw on local history ('Legenda Basilicae' around the basilica of Oudenbosch) or are more modern ('BioTech Industry'/'Operatie B.O.S.'), and there is an XL version for large groups. This is the highest-rated location in this regional batch: escapetalk 9.0 from 42 reviews (service 9.4) and 5/5 on TripAdvisor with a Travellers' Choice Award. Fans praise originality, teamwork and service; notable complaints are rare.
Spannend verhaal, de puzzels zitten erg goed in elkaar en de begeleiding was erg goed. Een superleuke ervaring om met portofoons door het bos te rennen.โ TripAdvisor
Het geheel had een vrolijke en speelse vibe... een stuk levendiger en toffer dan een speurtocht zoals je die vaak met groepen doet.โ escapetalk
