About this venue
Escape Meelfabriek Leiden was an escape room by Bizon Events in the monumental, vacant factory complex De Meelfabriek: with 3 to 7 players you were locked in an abandoned space to unravel 'the last secret of the Meelfabriek' within 60 minutes. The industrial location was the strongest point — the story was the building — but the game itself relied heavily on locks and searching. This is reflected in the score: 6.8 on escapetalk.nl, with visitors praising the authentic atmosphere and friendly staff but calling the puzzles 'uncreative' and monotonous. Due to the redevelopment of the complex the room has closed; the operator now sells outdoor EscapeGames throughout Leiden.
