THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OUR EXPERIENCES
What’s the difference between an Escape Game, an Escape Experience, and an Escape Walk Experience? Each of these activities offers a unique way to immerse yourself in excitement, adventure, and teamwork.
An Escape Game is all about solving puzzles and escaping within a set time. An Escape Experience focuses more on storytelling and an immersive atmosphere. An Escape Walk Experience takes you on an adventurous journey outside filled with challenges and surprises.
Which one suits you best? We’re happy to explain!

Escape Games
At De Gouden Kooi, you’ll find the ultimate escape games in Mechelen. Together with friends, family (perfectly doable from 8 years old), or colleagues, you’ll be locked in a mysterious room.
