About the escape room
Using podcast fragments narrated by several well-known Roermond residents, you are transported back to the year 1613. Witchcraft plays an important role then. People believe witches cause failed harvests and outbreaks of fire. They are seen as a danger to society and therefore must all be removed. If a woman is suspected of witchcraft, she is arrested and tortured until she confesses.
Nine-year-old Greijtgen is walking through the market with her mother. Three men in uniform suddenly and forcefully arrest her mother, Eva Wennemakers. The men claim Eva is a witch and take her away.
This is the starting point of an exciting investigation in which you gradually discover how the real witch trials in Roermond took place. To learn the true story and Greijtgen’s experiences, you answer questions, solve puzzles and complete tasks along the way. The correct answers, together with the podcast narrative, reveal how the curse on the city of Roermond came about. But can you lift the witch child’s revenge?
Experience this unique story of fear, faith and disbelief, with a cruelty that is now hard for us to imagine.
Suitable for families, friends, colleagues, clubs and all other large and small groups. The price includes a drink at the end of the tour.
