About this venue
MindEscape is a small escape room run by two women on the Ommoordsehof in Rotterdam-Ommoord, where the warm welcome from 'the ladies' is a fixed part of their reputation. Flagship is Anna's Dollhouse: a girl's voice begs you to free her from her doll house world within one hour — no horror, but a beautifully decorated, slightly uncanny toy décor that even a player with 72 rooms experience was surprised by the creativity of the puzzles. Alongside it runs the treasure hunt adventure room Expeditie (Coco Island). Reviews praise the thematic discipline, the many original puzzles without standard number locks and attentive hints; escaperoomsnederland.nl gives a 9.1. Criticisms: it's sometimes so dark that text is hard to read, and the strictly linear progression means fast players sometimes have to wait for each other.

From the reviews
Helemaal in thema, binnen een minuut waanden we ons echt op een onbewoond eiland en gingen we op expeditie.— escaperoomsnederland
Niet eng, maar wel supermooi aangekleed. Veel oog voor detail en alle spellen in de kamer pasten ook in dit thema.— escaperoomsnederland
