Open Air Escape

Haarlem 3 rooms

About this venue

Open Air Escape is not a room but an escape experience across Haarlem: you are welcomed on the Grote Markt, receive a package of materials and travel for about 2.5 hours past real hotspots in the city. In De Verdwenen Toerist you reconstruct the last steps of missing Jolien from Valkenswaard; in De Ontsnapte Gevangenen you yourself are the fugitive who must stay ahead of the police. There is also a kids version and a custom edition where the names, photos and stories of your own group are woven into the plot. The online presence is thin โ€” only a handful of reviews, no score on the major platforms โ€” but those who played it call it a unique, active way to discover Haarlem. More critical feedback: it takes a long time, and navigation and puzzle logic can be confusing for casual groups.

Super gaaf om op deze manier de Stad Haarlem te leren kennen. Leuk om met familie te doen of met vrienden.โ€” Escape Rooms Nederland
Hele leuke ervaring om een escape buiten te doen ipv binnen in een kleine kamer, dit is echt uniek.โ€” Escape Rooms Nederland
