About this venue

Try2Escape was an escape location in the Skidôme building in Rucphen with two to three rooms. The most striking feature was the real-world antagonists: The Mafia Travel Agency let you unravel the escape routes of the real Cosa Nostra fugitive Matteo Messina Denaro from a mafia front, and The Doping Room placed you as an employee of an Anti-Doping Agency in a corrupt sports world to expose foul play. Both rooms were self-rated as 'hard', with on-screen hints and no actor. The scores were mixed: escapetalk gave 7.7 and 7.3, with strong service scores (8.2-9.2) but consistently weaker gameplay (7.4) — friendly reception and neat decor, but not the most memorable rooms. NOTE: the Rucphen location has closed and moved to Roosendaal, where it continues as 'Escape Roosendaal' (escaperroosendaal.nl).
