About the escape room
Escaperoom Groenlo is a challenging and nerve-wracking game based on the Battle of Grolle that took place in the summer of 1627. The building where the escaperoom is located, played an important role at that time. This was where the resistance against the Spaniards, who were in control of Grolle at that time, was housed. Almost 4 centuries later, you are back in the 17th century for a while, where amidst the advancing warfare, you must accomplish an important task. Can you and your team prevent the murder of Prince Frederik Hendrik within an hour and thereby liberate Grolle?
