Hi everyone
The eighteenth room that we played on our May/June 2024 child-free trip to
Holland was Dystopia at Dystopia Brussels in Belgium. The room is located a
little south of the Brussels city centre.
I played Dystopia as a duo with a fellow enthusiast. To be
honest, I hadn’t heard much about the room but it was geographically located
near a bunch of rooms we were going to play, so we thought we could check it
out. There is a 3 player minimum for this room, but they allowed us to play as
a duo (as long as we paid for 3 people).
Dystopia was my 307th escape room and here is
what I thought:
- finding
this place was the first challenge. We walked through a muddy industrial
area and found our GM sitting on the ground (kind of in the middle of
nowhere). He then took us around the industrial area to the escape room. I
am not sure we would have found it without a guide;
- the
room was very unspectacular, and by that I mean that it is not a modern
polished escape room experience with a nice reception area, lockers for
your things, etc. Instead, the reception is in a very cramped old
building. This did not detract from the rest of the experience;
- there
is a lot of high tech in this room. We thought most of the tech was well
done, but the room was a little lacking overall in the quality of puzzles.
Most were ok, but some were a little illogical for me (and there are areas
of low light which was a bit of an annoying puzzle in its own right).
Overall, I would give this room a miss. It had some
interesting tech but beyond that, there wasn’t anything else here to write home
about. This room is not in the same league as many of the best (or even
best-adjacent) rooms that we played elsewhere in The Netherlands/Belgium.
