About this venue

MJ Escape has been operating since August 2019 on the Maarten Harpertsz. Trompweg in Dordrecht and focuses on personal service and original puzzles rather than technical spectacle. The two core rooms are The Mad Magician — you investigate what really happened to a magician's assistant after a devastating theater fire and gradually become part of the show while solving puzzles, with a surprising conclusion — and the mafia sequel The Boss, in which your family must prove its worth to the boss after a failed bank robbery. In addition, there are group games for 8-20 players (De Verdwenen Erfenis, Schatten Eiland) and a mobile escape chest. Local players are notably enthusiastic: a 9.6 on escaperoomsnederland.nl from 71 reviews, with compliments for puzzle originality, conviviality and value for money. International enthusiasts are more reserved (The Boss 4/5, Mad Magician 3.5/5 on Escape the Review) and the Mad Magician decor is starting to look dated.

Wat een leuke ervaring! Eerste keer. Was wel even pittig omdat we niet wisten wat ons te wachten stond.— escaperoomsnederland
