About
During the German occupation, with the university closed and soldiers patrolling the streets, Elisabeth Rameau-Flippo and her husband Wim live in the sexton's house beside the church and serve its congregations, including that of a collaborating NSB minister. Yet Elisabeth is a Leiden resistance fighter, and what looks like an innocent choir rehearsal is the perfect cover for a crucial operation. Teams of two to five, aged 15 and up, have 60 minutes to help her and her fellow resistance women succeed, in Dutch or English and without actors. A monumental staircase leads to the room, so it is not accessible for people with limited mobility.
The games
1 game to choose from
The Pieterskerk Escaperoom, The Final Rehearsal, plays out in the sexton's house beside Leiden's monumental Pieterskerk, in the middle of the Second World War. Elisabeth Rameau-Flippo and her husband Wim look after the church, even for the collaborating clergyman, but she is secretly a resistance fighter. What looks like an innocent choir rehearsal is cover for a vital act of resistance, and your team has one hour to help the brave women pull it off.

The atmosphere and the groups this venue has in mind.
Atmosphere
A serious, historically grounded story set in a real church complex, with period detail and the tension of an occupied city. The venue stresses that it is gripping rather than scary: there are no actors and no jump scares, and a medium intensity rating.
Who it suits
Adult friends, couples and colleagues with an interest in history and a moderately challenging puzzle. Players must be 15 or older. Groups of more than five can split into two, starting half an hour apart, and can add a church tour or a drink in the museum cafe.
