The Amsterdam Catacombs Escape Room is like your darkest nightmares come to life - and I mean that in the best possible way! I'm all about that immersive theatre and escape room life, but this? This was like a horror movie on steroids.
First up, it's set in the catacombs below this ultra-creepy church. Just stepping in there, you're gonna feel the chills. It's like you've been teleported right into a scene from the scariest movie!
Now, let's chat about the game. Picture this: total, pitch-black darkness, then out-of-the-blue, flickering lights. The spooky vibes are dialed up to the max. I'll level with you, if you're easily spooked, you might wanna sit this one out. But if, like me, you get a thrill from a good scare, this is right up your alley.
The story? Well, it sends chills down your spine, and panic attacks are pretty much part of the package. The puzzles are crazy hard, too. I won't spoil anything, but brace yourself for a wild, heart-racing ride from start to finish.
So if you're game for some pulse-pounding terror, don't miss this. It's 90 minutes of your adrenaline going from 0 to 100 real quick.
So, if you're looking for a blood-curdling good time, I absolutely recommend this. Seriously, if horror is your thing, the Amsterdam Catacombs Escape Room is a must-do when you're in town. It's not just a game, it's a pulse-pounding, adrenaline-packed horror fest that's sure to give you the fright of your life - in the best possible way! Trust me, this is one thrilling experience you're not...
   Read moreMy wife and I did this experience together on our honeymoon as we are both big fans of escape rooms.
They will be quick to point out that this is not an escape room but an experience and I will agree with them on that front. The similarities are that you will be solving puzzles throughout but instead of trying to escape you're working to uncover a mystery. There are two actors that will play a part in your experience which was also something new for us as we'd never had an experience with actors before. They were phenomenal and it really helped to make the whole experience that much more exciting! I will say this experience may not be for the faint of heart, as there were some moments when we were genuinely scared.
As people who love escape rooms another thing that made this experience fantastic is that everything worked! We've done rooms before where the different puzzles didn't work as they were supposed to and that really breaks your immersion in the experience but we had none of that here. It wasn't just simple little locks either they had some seriously impressive things built into the room, I won't go into details as I don't want to ruin anything but we were certainly blown away.
Overall this is probably our favorite "escape room" we have ever done. If you like puzzles/challenges or escape rooms this is an absolute MUST while you are in Amsterdam.
Lastly, in case you're the competitive sort ... you definitely can still "win" the experience, but that is...
   Read moreMe and my boyfriend are from Minnesota USA. weâve done more escape rooms then im proud to admit in Minnesota and in Paris and my boyfriend surprised me by booking this escape room, reading avid reviews online. The word âescape roomâ canât really be applied to this venue. This is definitely an EXPERIENCE. I didnât know exactly what to expect but it blew me out of the water. I didnât actually think I could be scared in an escape room but my heart was pumping the entire time and I admit I screamed several times and at one point almost called it off because It was so intensively immersive and spooky. (I can be kind of a chicken sometimes) From the start to finish you will be completely IMMERSED into this experience. They tell you that you are entering a story and you are taking on the role of characters in this story and they are absolutely right. This does not feel like an escape room it feels like the second you Buzz the church at the gate you are crossing a doorway into a horror movie of your own. I really really applaud the actors for the stellar story and Atmosphere they provide to the guests. Iâve never experienced anything like this in my life and if you are ever visiting Amsterdam and want something thrilling to do, THIS should be it. Iâll never forget my experience here and am so so happy that we had the opportunity to investigate...
