Story

Once you enter Escape the Freakshow, you will find yourself in the middle of a circus from the 19th century. If the audience had not seen an oddity of nature in the form of a human, the show was not a success. Witihin the circus territory, these freaks were mockingly cheered, but once outside they were feared. Therefore, they were easily blamed for any kind of crime that occured during their presence. Accusations that were barely right of course.
Unfortunately, your story is one of the exceptions that occured once in a while. After that night's show, you decide to wander around the field, hoping to meet one of the freaks in person. Just as you are about to enter a tent, you feel a harsh sting in your neck. Then, everything turns black...

When are we expected? In order to make everything run fluently, we ask you to be present fifteen minutes to the start of the game. This gives us the opportunity to give further information on the activity and for you to make use of our lockers.

Can I buy a gift card? Absolutely! The amount can be chosen freely and our gift card lasts for a year. At this moment, they can only be bought in our office, but a digital version is in development.

Can we get help during the game? In case you find yourself completely clueless, you can always ask for an extra hint. This has no influence on the game.

Where can I park my car? You can always leave your car in one of the car parks found nearby: Parking Vrijdagmarkt and Parking Reep. As an alternative, you can also use public transportation. Dampoort train station and tramstop Korenmarkt (tram line 1) are nearby.

Is language important? Most of our puzzles and riddles are language-neutral. When language does play an important role, the information is provided in Dutch, French and English.

How long does the activity take? The purpose of an escape room is to escape within one hour. As a consequence the game ends after one hour. In order to make everything run fluently, we ask you to be present fifteen minutes to the start of the game. After the game, you have the opportunity to come to your senses while having a drink.

Are there any physical challenges? No. Since we strive to be accessible for everyone, all of our games resolve around solving puzzles and riddles. Physical elements such as crawling or climbing are completely absent.

Is a certain age required? Previous experiences with groups containing children have taught us the following: Children under the age of 12 need to be accompanied by a majority of adults. Children between 12 and 15 years are preferably accompanied by at least one adult. As of 16 years, children should be able to play our escape rooms on their own.
