Can the journey to an escape room be long?
Is a two-hour journey for just one hour of play worthwhile?
Or should I just play escape rooms nearby?

No matter how you answer these questions for yourself, we can all answer "yes" – and contradict ourselves in the process. 😉

Escape rooms are unique. So if you want to play the best escape rooms in NRW, but you come from another federal state, you'll have to put up with a considerable amount of travel time, whether you like it or not. And since an escape room is a concentrated overall experience lasting 60 or 90 minutes, the travel time is often longer than the playing time.

An escape room is, however, an overall experience. Plan your time around this fantastic team event. Make sure you arrive in good time beforehand and, if necessary, have the chance to get to know each other. Also consider what you want to do with your group afterwards. A shared dinner, a stroll to wind down, or simply a nice chat where you can share your impressions and experiences of the team event with each other, is the icing on the cake for some when visiting an escape room.

But why should I play Escape Rooms nearby then?

We recommend everyone first take a look in their own backyard. There are so many escape rooms nearby, especially if you live in North Rhine-Westphalia or even the Ruhr area. The density of escape rooms here is simply unbelievably high. And so it quickly happens that one escape room or another flies under the radar because it isn't hyped by others as „The best escape room in Germany“ or „The best escape room nearby“ or „The most exciting horror escape room“.

We give all escape rooms a chance because behind all the puzzles, game ideas and stories are creators who have poured their heart and soul into creating an experience for their guests. And this is precisely what needs to be appreciated anew with every escape room visit. Therefore, once again, the important recommendation: definitely play an escape room nearby!
