Every Escape Room in Amsterdam, Compared

This is why we’ve lined them all up here for a side-by-side comparison.

You’re welcome. 😉

Logic Locks

Two of the city’s most visited Escape Rooms come courtesy of the minds at Logic Locks. With both medium and advanced difficulty, visitors can experience various levels of fun. At 63 minutes, What Happened to Eliza’s Heart (Ferdinand Huyckstraat 28) is a classic mystery-style game meant for 2 – 7 players. Then, there is the horror of Amsterdam Catacombs (Posthoornkerk), an advanced experience meant for 2-6 players. Both have been multi-awarded as some of the best Escape Rooms on the continent.
