AN ESCAPE ROOM FOR CHILDREN: A GREAT IDEA!
An escape room is a fantastic activity to do in Mechelen, even for children during a birthday party, for example. Many people assume that the puzzles in an escape room are too difficult for them, but that’s actually not true. For groups of children, the main challenge lies in completing a puzzle: they tend to jump from one thing to another more than adults or listen to each other a little less. In any case, there are always solutions to these ‘little issues.’
The doors of our escape room are open to all children.
Regardless of whether you are 9 or 99 years old, you are welcome in our escape room at any age. Since our escape room is challenging but not scary at all, it is also suitable for children and teenagers. Of course, very young children are best accompanied by an adult supervisor. This way, they can help solve the puzzles and challenges of the escape room, ensuring that your team can escape within the time limit. Below, we list a few possible situations in which children can discover our escape room!
You play as a family
When playing an escape room with your family, there is usually no issue at all: family members are often well attuned to each other, and children naturally find their place in the escape group. If they get stuck on one of the puzzles, parents can quickly step in. Children often focus more on the practical tasks, which are always present in the escape rooms of De Gouden Kooi.
A ‘supervisor’ joins the game
During a children's party or a friends’ outing, kids (or teenagers) naturally prefer to play the escape room without adults. While children are certainly capable of solving (almost) all the puzzles in an escape room on their own, it is often recommended that a 'supervisor' accompanies them. If they lose track or chaos arises, the supervisor can help guide them back on the right path. Experience also shows that after just a few minutes, the kids become so immersed in the game that they hardly notice the supervisor anymore.
They receive extra hints
Of course, kids and teenagers prefer to play without adults around. That’s no problem either: the game masters provide extra hints remotely from time to time, ensuring they don’t get unnecessarily stuck on a puzzle that doesn’t suit them. At De Gouden Kooi, you can count on a team of dedicated game masters.
