“The live tracking was very clear, and it was great to be able to keep track of the groups like that. The children had a brilliant time, and all the parent volunteers were enthusiastic too!”Primary school, years 6 and 7 — Maastricht
A school class plays an Escape Xperience divided into several teams. We recommend 2–4 students per team, so everyone can actively contribute ideas and solve puzzles.
From four teams, the group upgrade is automatically added for €5 extra per team.
Every Escape Xperience has a story based on historical people, events and locations. In Breda, for example, students help Willem van Oranje while Alva’s army is approaching; in Maastricht, they discover more about the Roman past; and in Zwolle, they find themselves in the middle of the conflict between the patriots and supporters of Willem V. Filter by historical period or city.

During an Escape Xperience, students learn by doing: solving puzzles together, making choices and discovering history in the place where it really happened. What they solve together sticks with them — and afterwards, they see their own city differently.
