About
The premise is that these filmed mysteries left a curse behind in the cinema. De Bokkenrijders - Carpe Noctem returns to a Limburg village gripped by fear after the monstrance was stolen from the church, The Lost Flight follows the pioneering aviator Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic, and The Zodiac Letter investigates the serial killer from the 1970s whose identity is still unknown; each gives two to six players 60 minutes. A theatre café is part of the building, and outdoor options include a Mystery City Walk with an actor, the outdoor escape game Pieters Geheim and escape stories to play at home.
