Quarantine

Escaping from a hospital? Who doesn’t want that? Especially when your life depends on it! A spacious, authentically decorated escape room where teamwork is very important! A very spacious escape room, but you do have 75 minutes to escape. Out-of-the-(pill)box thinking: 100%! The room is adjusted according to how many players there are and contains extra puzzles for larger groups.

Story

A deadly epidemic is taking hold of the city. You are part of a group of doctors and patients in the Ostend Medical Center where Dr. F. Lee did research into a vaccine against the dangerous Mariba virus. According to his staff, Dr. Lee was about to break through with even a working serum or vaccine but strangely disappeared in the last hours before the evacuation. In order to control the spread of the virus, it was decided in the meantime to let the city burn down! Unfortunately, on suspicion of infection, you were “forgotten” at the closed Medical Center. Only a working vaccine can still give you free passage during the evacuation! Maybe Dr. Lee finally found the vaccine? Free yourself or your fellow players from the quarantine and help each other with your search through the Center. Can you find the vaccine and save yourself?

Battle Royale: Bunker Break-in

The Special Forces team is ready. In a remote, shadowy country somewhere in Asia, a megalomaniac general with dangerous ambitions is preparing a devastating attack on the West. It is up to you to intervene, prevent the unthinkable, and save the world from a nuclear catastrophe!

Story

After a fierce battle, the bunker was partly captured where an insane general – with access to a large nuclear missile arsenal – entrenched himself. The general started a nuclear attack just before he died. Only he knew the code to stop the rockets but hid instructions in case he would forget them. Break into the heavily protected control center and crack the code in time to save the world from a nuclear disaster!

Pop-up Escape!

One-off, themed escape rooms.

Hoogtij(d)!

* Zondag 8 september 2019: ‘Hoogtij(d)!’ n.a.v. Openmonumentendag i.h.k.v. de klimaatverandering (Zeedijk Oostende, gratis, 15′, max. 6 pers., niet reserveren, van 10u tot 18u).

“De klimaatverandering heeft ons landschap en onze steden enorm doen veranderen. Oostende werd omringd met beschermende dijken. Een duizendjarige storm en springtij bedreigen die nieuwe stabiliteit en het water klotst al over de dijken! Het is slechts nog een kwestie van minuten voor de dijken helemaal overstromen en Oostende onder water komt te staan. De enige redding is het activeren van de grote waterpompen om het waterpeil in de stad zo laag mogelijk te houden. Helaas heeft de storm ook de elektriciteit doen uitvallen en enkel de noodgenerator tijdig in werking stellen kan het tij nog doen keren. Maar waar is die sleutel van de noodgenerator toch gebleven??”

2 – 6 spelers
Tijd: 20 minuten
Moeilijkheid:

Go beyond a traditional escape room and create your perfect team experience. Combine an exciting escape with a creative rocket-building workshop, or opt for fun and relaxation with bowling and a cozy fondue. Teamwork, laughter, and shared experiences are at the heart of it all!

FAQ

faq-en

What is an escape room?

	An escape room is a challenging game in which you are locked in a room, or interconnected rooms. By finding keys, codes and clues, and by solving puzzles and riddles, you must try to escape the room within a set time limit. Escape rooms are also known as puzzle rooms, breakout games, exit rooms and usually last 60 minutes.
	An escape room is the ideal event for groups of friends, bachelor or bachelorette parties, team building, etc. Each room has its own theme and different difficulty levels.
	The escape room has its origins in the video game industry! The first “real life” version of digital escape room games is the event “Original Piece“, created in 2006 by a few Silicon Valley computer programmers. However, there is a lot of uncertainty about this. Some even doubt whether this event actually took place! In 2007, the first escape room, Real Escape Game (REG), opened in Kyoto (Japan), designed by Takao Kato. The film industry also contributed with movies such as ‘Cube’.
	Meanwhile, the ‘escape room’ has taken the world by storm! There is even one aboard Royal Caribbean’s cruise ship Anthem of the Seas! Escape into an amazing experience!

How can we book?

Preferably via the booking form on the website, so you can immediately see whether your preferred time slot is available. For questions and additional information, you can always send an email to mail@timescape.be, use the contact form on the website, or call the number +32 486 07 01 75

We made a booking, but we didn’t get a confirmation mail?

It is possible that the email has ended up in the “junk mail” (spam) folder. Please feel free to contact us if there is any problem!

Can we cancel our reservation?

Cancellation is free of charge up to 72 hours before the scheduled game. Less than 72 hours in advance: 50% of the booking amount will be charged, and 50% will be refunded. Cancellation on the day itself or no-show: 100% of the booking amount will be charged, and no refund will be given. Even if no advance payment has been made yet, the invoice will still be sent to you!

Can I buy a gift card?

Yes. Click here. The voucher can be redeemed via the online reservation form by entering the personal code. If the lucky recipient of the voucher wishes to book for more people than indicated on the voucher, an additional cost per person must be paid according to the applicable rates.

Can we get notified when a new room opens?

Of course. You can subscribe to our newsletter (sent only when new rooms or special events are launched). Recent announcements can also be found on our Facebook page.

Do we really get locked up?

Of course! The door is locked and it’s up to you to find a way out! If you do not escape in time, the door will automatically unlock. An “emergency button” is also provided, allowing you to leave the room at any time in case of emergency. If you manage to get out in a fast time, you earn a place on our Timewall!

Is there a minimum age?

For groups consisting solely of participants of the same age category, the minimum age is 14 years. In a group with mixed ages, younger children (from 8-9-10 years old) can also actively participate in the room. Please contact us if you have any questions about this!

How late do we have to be there?

Please try to arrive 10 to 15 minutes in advance. This allows us to give you some explanation about the game and its story. If you arrive excessively late, this time may be deducted from your playing time!

Are we allowed to take pictures or videos in the rooms?

Neen. Gsm’s, smartphones, camera’s of eender welke soort opnamematerialen zijn niet toegelaten in de kamers. Het is expliciet verboden video- of fotomateriaal te maken in de kamers. Ook vragen we een zekere geheimhouding m.b.t. de spelelementen en puzzels, vooral op sociale media. Vergal het plezier niet voor groepen die na jullie komen!

Do we need anything special?

Neen. Alles wat jullie nodig hebben wordt voorzien of jullie hebben het al, namelijk gezond verstand en teamwerk! Gsm’s, smartphones, jassen, rugzakken, voedingswaren, dranken, … zijn niet toegelaten in de kamers. Je kan je spullen veilig opbergen in een van de lockers. Voor de brildragers: vergeet jullie (lees)bril niet!

Can the game be played in a wheelchair?

Escape games kunnen in het algemeen niet in een rolstoel gespeeld worden omdat er veel obstakels in de kamer zijn, en omdat er mogelijk aanwijzingen verstopt zitten op hogere plaatsen.

In what language are the rooms?

For most puzzles, no language is required—only a dose of common sense! The introduction, guidance, and hints are provided in Dutch, French, or English. Where language is important, the puzzles are written in Dutch, French, and English. We do not speak German.

With how many people can we play?

On the website, each room indicates how many people it is suitable for. If you wish to play with more people, the group must be split. If you want to play the same room, this will be done in two consecutive time slots. In that case, the first group can follow the second group’s escape attempt via live stream. Pets are not allowed!
