About
In Upside Down, players enter eccentric professor Ellen's office, where everything hangs the wrong way up, and must fix the malfunctions in time to launch her monkey-crewed rocket to the moon. Cosa Nostra makes the team members of a notorious Sicilian crime family preparing a risky rip deal on a rival gang. Each room takes up to eight people, and evenings can be extended with bowling and a dinner package such as stone grill or gourmet at the same venue on Veilingweg.
The games
2 games to choose from
Bowling Westland, a bowling centre in De Lier, has two escape rooms, each priced per room for up to eight players. In Upside Down you step into the topsy-turvy office of Professor Ellen, whose rocket carrying a monkey is about to launch while the power flickers and the clock ticks; in Cosa Nostra you join a Sicilian mafia family planning a daring ripdeal against a rival gang. In both, the mission is to crack the final code.
Format
The experience
The atmosphere and the groups this venue has in mind.
Atmosphere
The rooms are strongly themed and surprising: a literally upside-down laboratory in one, a shadowy Italian underworld in the other. Because they sit inside a bowling centre with a restaurant, a visit naturally turns into an evening of puzzles, bowling and dinner.
Who it suits
Groups of friends and colleagues who want to combine an escape room with bowling and a meal; the rooms are designed for adults, a team of at least four is recommended, and arrangements range from steak-grill dinners to a gourmet menu. Children from 12 can play with the game master's guidance, and under-12s need a parent.
Good to know
Intensity, accessibility, booking and facilities, as the venue lists them.
The 1978 building has obstacles: the entrance is two metres above street level with a narrow ramp unsuited to electric wheelchairs, the bowling lanes are reached by three steps, and there is an accessible toilet on the ground floor.
Rooms can be reserved online, by phone or by email, at a fixed price per room with a maximum of eight participants. Dinner arrangements are charged on top of the escape room and an hour of bowling, and free changes are possible up to a day before.
