Introduction There are escape rooms that make us feel clever. There are rooms that scare us, move us or transport us somewhere else. And then there is Dream Machine. After Birth Machine and Time Machine, Dr. Mad has another invention waiting for us. This time, instead of travelling through time […]
IntroductionSometimes it isn’t a single scare or puzzle that stays with you after an escape room, but the moment when the room itself suddenly seems to come alive. LILY was exactly that kind of experience. Our journey began inside a telephone booth, from where we were drawn into the mystery […]
Introduction I genuinely struggle to find the right words for Cosy Nest. Crazy? Bizarre? Surreal? Unhinged? Still, it doesn’t quite capture what we experienced. This is one of the escape rooms where the concept itself becomes part of the surprise. It throws you into a world so strange, imaginative and […]

Introduction We didn’t just book 3 escape rooms – we booked an entire journey. Ranked #22 worldwide at TERPECA 2025, the Chimera Corp Saga takes you through three completely different worlds, and while each can stand on its own, it’s at the very end that you realize how cleverly everything […]
Introduction Sometimes a room appears out of nowhere — and suddenly everyone is talking about it. That’s exactly what happened with The Crimsons Recipe. We hadn’t even heard of it before, and then it climbed to the number one spot on escapetalk.nl. Naturally, we were curious. What was behind this […]
