About
Always chasing new highs, never truly satisfied? The Brotherhood invites players to a cleansing that turns happiness into a way of life, using methods that are unconventional, and nobody leaves until they find inner peace. Created by a solo designer who refused to compromise, the game is more thriller than horror, builds on a good-versus-evil story with live actors, and begins the moment the group rings the doorbell. It takes two to six players aged 18 and over, and within a year of opening it climbed into the top ten Dutch escape rooms on Escapetalk.
The games
1 game to choose from

It is billed as more thriller than horror, has placed in the Dutch top ten on the EscapeTalk portal, and plays for two to six people, with four named as the ideal team size.
Format
The experience
The atmosphere and the groups this venue has in mind.
Atmosphere
The experience is built around a live actor who stays in character and shapes the story, supported by scent and set design that reviewers single out for immersion. The actor can tone the intensity up or down according to requests made when booking or during play.
Who it suits
Adults who want a theatrical, story-driven experience rather than a pure puzzle marathon, and who are comfortable with an actor interacting with them in a slightly unsettling setting. It suits small groups of friends or couples-plus-friends rather than large parties.
Good to know

The game is described as a thriller rather than outright horror, but how frightening it feels varies by player. It contains elements that may not suit people with epilepsy or limited mobility. Intensity can be adjusted by telling the actor in advance or during the game.
