\n\t How does that work, an Outside Escape?\t <\/div>\n\t
\n\t
\n\t

Please watch the game tutorial<\/a> to see exactly how an Outside Escape works.<\/p>\n\t <\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n\t \t

\n\t
\n\t Can we stop for a break on the way?\t <\/div>\n\t
\n\t
\n\t

Of course, there’s no time limit. It would be a shame to miss out on all those sunny terraces and cosy cafes because you’re in a hurry!<\/p>\n\t <\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n\t \t

\n\t
\n\t Is it necessary to make a reservation?\t <\/div>\n\t
\n\t
\n\t

No, a booking is not necessary. After you’ve booked your Outside Escape, you’ll receive a link and one or more access codes within minutes. With these, you can start the Outside Escape whenever you want!<\/p>\n\t <\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n\t \t

\n\t
\n\t Are the riddles not too difficult or too easy?\t <\/div>\n\t
\n\t
\n\t

Many of our routes have two levels to choose from: basic and challenging. If you have little experience with escape rooms or escape routes, choose the basic variant. If you like a challenge, choose the challenging variant. The routes are the same length, the story is the same, only the difficulty level of the riddles differs.<\/p>\n

By the way, you will get one chance to switch levels during the game, should you feel you chose the wrong difficulty.<\/p>\n\t <\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n\t \t

\n\t
\n\t Won’t we get stuck if we can’t find the solution to a riddle?\t <\/div>\n\t
\n\t
\n\t

No, using the hints you can always find the solution to a riddle. You can usually ask for three hints and the last hint always gives you the correct answer. The hints will cost you points, so be careful!<\/p>\n\t <\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n\t \t

\n\t
\n\t What ages are Outside Escapes suitable for?\t <\/div>\n\t
\n\t
\n\t

Outside Escapes are suitable for families with children aged 14 and up. But there is plenty to do for younger children, as they can help solve riddles by looking around for hints! In addition, each escape contains 5 or 6 photos of locations to keep an eye out for. So even the smallest participants can participate in a fun photo hunt!<\/p>\n\t <\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n\t \t

\n\t
\n\t How long will an Outside Escape take to complete?\t <\/div>\n\t
\n\t
\n\t

On average, an Outside Escape takes around 2 hours to complete, if you don’t take breaks. The duration partly depends on how quickly you solve the riddles and whether you tend to ask for hints or not. The route is about 2.5 kilometres long and consists of eight to ten locations, each with their own riddle.<\/p>\n

By the way, there is no time limit, so feel free to take a break if you spot a nice cafe!<\/p>\n\t <\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n\t \t

\n\t
\n\t Will there be on-site guidance?\t <\/div>\n\t
\n\t
\n\t

Outside Escapes are self-guided city tours; so there is no guide present on location. You will receive all the necessary information on your mobile phone. You play an Outside Escape in your browser, there is no need to download an app.<\/p>\n

And with the optional hints you’ll never get stuck!<\/p>\n\t <\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n\t \t

\n\t
\n\t With how many people can we play at the same time?\t <\/div>\n\t
\n\t
\n\t

An Outside Escape is suitable for 2 to 80 people. If you are with a larger group, we recommend playing with teams of around 5 people. This way, every team member gets a chance to actively participate and it stays fun for everyone. But you are free to form larger teams, of course!<\/p>\n

Will you be playing with more than one team? Please order an access code for each team.<\/p>\n\t <\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n\t \t
