About this venue
Blooming Escape Room is an outdoor 'escape walk' on the wooded grounds of the Blooming hotel in Bergen (NH)—more of a hotel activity than a classic escape room. You book at the hotel reception, get a bag of materials and a tablet, and walk a route of roughly 35 minutes through the dune forest to Dr. Carl's hut, a 'failed' professor working on sustainable super-fuel who now seeks a successor. There is no time pressure and you are not locked in anywhere, making it ideal for families, children, and people with claustrophobia; the finale in the hut is the most-mentioned moment. Reviewers especially praise the beautiful nature and freedom, but the puzzles vary in depth and are sometimes too simple for adult enthusiasts. There are too few reviews for an official score on escapetalk or escaperoomsnederland.
