They call it an “interactive experience” and they are not kidding. Really extraordinary in every way — sets, props, location, live (and, uh, not-so-alive) actors, story — this is a must-play.

This sets a really high bar for horror escape experiences. Amazing atmospheric design, great actors, and effects I haven’t seen before. We had a teammate who was super nervous about going into a horror room, but they had a great time in this experience!

Really fun and immersive experience! The game master and assistants are amazing! And yes, it’s a scary room! This is one of the best escape room I’ve played, for me a shared 1st place with the Trippolyte Cinema in Geneva. A must-try if you are in Amsterdam.

Depends on your taste, I think it has potential to be really scary depending on the person but the GMs are very nice.

If you can only do 1 or 2 rooms in the Netherlands make sure this is one of them — this room is NOT to be missed. I’ve done 200+ escape rooms and this is the closest I’ve ever felt to being in a movie. The theatrical presentation in this room is insane and the actors are so ridiculously good; they must have been professionally trained Shakespearean actors or something. Such a memorable experience, even your friends who aren’t into escape rooms will love this!

The Amsterdam Catacombs is by far one of the most immersive, unique and impressive rooms I have ever played. The effects are above and beyond what you would expect, especially given I was playing virtually, the rooms are unlike any you will ever encounter again and the game master was incredible !! This game was super creepy to say the least. My only regret was wishing I could be there in person to play this game . I would have loved to much to walk through the rooms and see if I could play as bravely had I been in the actual room. I do not possibly have the words to explain just how great this room is!
