Room Escape Artist

If you’ve never played a high-end horror escape game in the Netherlands or Belgium, then it’s difficult to comprehend why so many avid escape room players hold these experiences in such high regard.

This is your best opportunity to grasp what’s special without flying there and playing for yourself.

ESCAPE ROOM HORROR STORIES BeNeLux Edition

Created by Jana Erbes, ESCAPE ROOM HORROR STORIES BeNeLux Edition offers a deep dive into a few of the companies producing iconic horror games in the Netherlands and Belgium: Logic Locks, DarkPark, and Entered.

While this documentary dives deep into these games, it isn’t prohibitively spoilery.

Tragically DarkPark’s Stay in the Dark is closed, so this is by far the best way to understand that game, if you never had the chance to play it.

At 2 hours and 38 minutes, this is incredibly in-depth and long, so take your time enjoying it.

And thank you to Jana for asking us to be a part of it. We had so much fun recording with her and reminiscing about these incredible games. It was an honor and a privilege.
