We are escape room Connaisseurs and have played many rooms before. We booked Midnight Magic and were expecting an interactive and immersive experience. Our Gamemaster Robin was an absolute sweetheart and did her best to make our stay enjoyable.
The best part of everything was her enthusiasm and love for her work, otherwise it would be only two stars.
The decor of the escape room furniture, walls, etc. is pleasing and professional. There is no reliable red line or logical indications to let the players know what to do next and once something gets triggered, certain doors and elements open with no special effects or sounds to let you know that it was correct. Escape rooms are composed of riddles and tasks, the latter is something that should follow the story, create a storyline or indicate that a riddle is at hand, that should be done next. Many of the mechanical tasks simply malfunctioned, opened at the wrong time or not at all. I know this for a fact because we had an escape game engineer in our team.
It s a real shame that the management is apparently not interested in maintaining a nice business and investing more knowledge, logic and craftsmanship into their concept - it could be a five star establishment. Right now we can absolutely NOT recommend this business.

Edit: loved it so much we went back and did Charlie and the Chocolate factory, again it was amazing. Cannot recommend enough. For clarity, for both rooms we only did it with two people.

Absolutely brilliant, we did Cabin in the Woods room and loved it! Great service, brilliant puzzles, atmospheric and just the right difficulty. Have done a lot of escape rooms and this was easily in the top 5!

Wonderful experience! I did the battle room with cabin in the woods and the puzzles really had us confused in the beginning, so it was even more satisfying when we broke out in the end! The instructor (Stijn) also was very friendly and was definitely very experienced!

Thoroughly mediocre. Cabin in the woods. Not very original, not a great story, puzzles are mostly standard lock key code wood block stuff. There's at least a dozen places in Amsterdam with a much better experience. Several things malfunctioned. The operator on the phone didn't know what to do to fix it either, twice. Flimsy decor. The staff is very nice though, so 1 star extra for them. They offered 50% discount for next time because it was obviously malfunctioning several times, but why would we give money again for another mediocre experience with large chance of failure? Should have given half of the money back in the first place. Wouldn't have been worth it if everything worked as planned, should be half the price and catering for first timers or kids only. Been to a good escape room before? Then avoid this place.

Nice spot with lots of rooms to choose from. The room we did was nice, but could use a repair job. Some items were loose, which makes you question yourself if its part of the puzzle or not. We made it out within the hour :)

We did three rooms there - Midnight Magic, Cabin in the woods and The Chocolate Factory.
Our favourite was the Midnight Magic. But all the others were good too. The hosts are very friendly and enthusiastic. Very good place for team buildings or big groups of peaople because they have two identical rooms for Cabin in the woods so you can play two teams against each other.
