Zwolle boasts a compact historic city center with the Sassenpoort, Museum de Fundatie, the Rodetorenplein, and numerous outdoor cafes. We're within walking distance – many guests combine an afternoon of shopping or a museum visit with an escape room and dinner with us.

### Is The Great Escape suitable for bad weather?

Yes. Our escape rooms, 30-minute escapes, kids' parties, and the Escape Café are all indoors. Only the outdoor games through Zwolle are – as the name suggests – outside; we relocate these in case of persistent rain or offer alternatives in consultation.

### How many people can we come with?

We welcome everything from 2 players to groups of 150 people. Larger groups are split across multiple escape rooms simultaneously or combined with an outdoor game and catering package.

### How much does an escape room cost in Zwolle?

An escape room starts from €27.50 per person; packages including food and drinks start around €49.50 per person. Please check the respective pages for current prices and availability.

### How much time should I reserve for a visit?

An escape room lasts 60 minutes; with briefing, photo, and debriefing, you'll be inside for approximately an hour and a half. With an additional package (drinks, walking dinner, or BBQ), expect 3 to 4 hours.

### Can we come without a car?

Excellent. We are within walking distance of Zwolle train station, making us easily accessible by train from all over the Netherlands. Also reachable by bike and public transport from the Zwolle districts.
