Room Escape Artist

Latest update: June 21, 2025

Belgium is a happening escape room market… with new games continuing to open.

The sets were absolutely stunning. If we had to generalize, the focus was more on storytelling and theatrics than on the puzzles. That said, the top games approach this in different ways, but always with an incredible level of production.

The most difficult thing about seeing all the top escape rooms in Belgium is the distance. You’ll want to visit Antwerp, Bruges, Brussels, and in between. And you’ll need to rent a car. If you are planning an escape room-focused trip, you might want to consider staying in different cities different nights.

If you’re in this part of Europe, check out our guide to Amsterdam too. There are also a few incredible games in western Germany, just over the border, that are worth checking out.

Something Different

The Movies Experience at The Push Mystery Rooms was more than an escape room. The setting and service around the game were as much a part of the experience as the game itself. Leave yourself extra time.

Demise of the Gricers at Entered wasn’t an escape room at all. It was a live action horror game. For a deeper understanding of this unique experience, check out our podcast interview with co-creator Jeroen van Hasselt on REPOD.
