Mark as done to rate

A bag, hastily buried in a shallow sandy grave. Inside the bag, a gruesome story waiting to be told. A subtle but undeniable horror tries to wriggle itself through the cracks of age. Unaware, you lift the bag and take it inside, open it and then you see the doll, Amy’s doll, Poppet. You pick up the doll and clear the sand off her dress. You hesitate, contemplating, was that even a good idea? Maybe not. You turn the doll around to inspect it a bit more. It seems innocent.. And so you begin to unravel the story, Amy’s story. A girl, struggling through a difficult time, with the doll being her only confidante. Amy feels lost and lonely in the world. After moving with her father to a new city, he leaves her in the convent boarding school. Amy is not like the rest of the children at the boarding school. The other girls don’t want to play with her. She is bullied by them, while her father becomes increasingly distant. Poor Amy spends her days in her small room, continuously playing with her doll, which she calls Poppet. The doll is her only friend. Seemingly Poppet keeps the ghosts, bullies and loneliness far away. But is the figurine really Amy’s friend, or is there more to her than meets the eye?

A very close second favorite game in NL after Molly's Game -- play this before it closes! The building is being demolished, and I really hope they can find another home for this. Currently a top 5 game for me, it's just pure fun. Most of the puzzles furthered the story, and all the puzzles were in theme and just fun. The actor interaction and the first puzzle (outside... even in the rain!) couldn't have been a better start to the story, teeing up an adventure with a surprising number of rooms, twisting passages, a few actorless jumpscares and some creative puzzles I hadn't seen before in over 300 rooms.

From the Amersfoort train station: (1) take an Uber to the convent and loop around the right to P4 - under the stone entryway, or (2) take bus 34 to the nearest stop and walk 6 minutes - from there make a right on the footpath leading through the grounds and you'll come to P4, under a stone entryway. There are supposedly P4 signs but I didnt see any walking - perhaps easier in to spot from a car.

This was our favourite game of the weekend, hands down. The atmosphere was great, using the historical building. The acting was superb, and it really added to the experience (often I want introductions to wrap up in order to start the game play, but this was great). As another user mentioned, this game may close soon (due to work on the building), so don’t hesitate!

The most fun and enjoyable room of the three from Rock City escape. Good flow of puzzles, fun to resolve and well connected to the theme. Had quite a few wow moments. Cannot recommend this room enough.

One of the best rooms I have played (in 100+). Our GM was superb. The atmosphere was wonderful. The puzzles were unique and the ending was beautiful. Can't recommend this enough. Sadly they are closing it soon, so hurry up!

“Poppet” is my 2nd favorite escape room in NL out of 22 rooms. My top is “Stay in the Dark”, which many don’t consider an escape room. In that case, this would be my top escape room in NL. Sister Louise did improv with us, which elevated the experience. We prefer acting rooms, and she delivered. We’re glad we were able to visit at this time because they may have to close within a year due to the city wanting to build apartments in that location.
