Do you like solving puzzles, mysteries and clues? Then an escape room is the activity for you! During this activity 4 groups of 6 will go into different rooms with the same puzzle. They will battle against each other for who can solve the most puzzles. So join the activity and battle with your friends against other groups!

Before the escape room there will be a preborrel with food at de ’Salon’ that starts at 17:30. We will go to the escape room located at strijp-s at 19:15. The activity will be over around 21:00.
