The Alchemist

The Alchemist by Sherlocked in Amsterdam, Netherlands

Back then when I started playing escape rooms regularly and people would ask which were the best ones, a game regularly mentioned was The Vault. It’s therefore not surprising that in the first Terpeca awards that game made it into the Top 10. Many years passed until Sherlocked announced a […]

Siltobark: La Magia De Oriente

SILTOBARK: LA MAGIA DE ORIENTE by Influx Escape in Madrid, Spain

In a previous trip our last game in Madrid was in Influx and this time we started there to play their other game. One nice thing about the games here is that they are language independent. Officially the games are Spanish only due to some audio elements (a few during […]
