200 escape rooms
We played Midnight Express at Escape World in Utrecht as a group of 4, including one new addition to our usual team. The dynamic worked really well, and that definitely elevated the experience for us. The room is one of their newest, and it shows. The decor, lighting, and sound effects were nicely polished and really brought the train setting to life. One of the spaces was just the right size for a group of 4—any more might’ve felt tight. The puzzles were enjoyable overall, though a couple felt like they were solved more by luck than logic. Still, the game flowed well, and we had a lot of fun. Recommended for all players, especially those who appreciate a well-executed theme.

Customer service
She was nice and even gave us the chance of taking a photo inside the room. But it is not standard.
