The Story

In the 70s, Zwolle was shocked by a series of gruesome murders of talented musicians. Detective Keller was assigned the cases, but the perpetrator was never found. Recently, similar crimes have been committed again.

Now that Detective Keller has retired, you are the designated people to conclude the investigation and stop the serial killer.

Venture into the city center, follow the clues, and unmask who truly hides behind the name The Artist.

The Artist is an outdoor escape room in Zwolle, approximately 3 km long, that guides you along atmospheric spots in the city center. This game is perfect for groups of friends, families, and company outings who enjoy a mysterious scavenger hunt through Zwolle.

You play independently with the help of a digital hint system, at your own pace, and without a game master on-site. Book The Artist at The Great Escape in Zwolle and conclude your journey with a snack and drink in the city center.

Language — This game is played in Dutch. Looking for a game in English? The Boobytrap can be played in English. (https://thegreatescape.nl/en/escaperooms/the-boobytrap)
