Escape rooms as teambuilding
De Gouden Kooi provides your company the opportunity to combine several business initiatives with an escape room. There are several possibilities: rent our meeting room, practice team building by playing an escape room or participate in a training program in which the escape room are fully integrated.
Escape rooms as a fun teambuilding activity
In groups of two to six colleagues, you will play an escape room and will be the protagonists of an exciting story. The goal: to escape a locked room within 60 (or 70) minutes. You do this by solving a series of puzzles. It is not about trivia, IQ riddles or word games, but rather, original puzzles where both teamwork and individual talent play a major role. You will have to use your brain as well as your hands.
We have different rooms on 2 locations in the centre of Mechelen. Therefore we can accomodate large groups. Up until 36 persons can play simultaneously. If there are more of you, please contact us and we will find a solution together. If you combine this with a meeting, a presentation or other activities, it can be worked in rotation for even larger groups.
Each room is unique. Both the story and the puzzles are original and carefully crafted.

Escape walk experience: outdoor fun
Our escape walk experience is the outdoor version of our escape rooms. In teams of 2 to 6 people, your adventure starts at our location on Haverwerf. In a thematically decorated room, you will receive your mission for the next 2,5 hours in a fun way. This walk distinguishes itself from other city walks: it was made in collaboration with Tourism Mechelen, and you won’t go on your way with pen and paper, tablet or phone. The real puzzles can be found on your path at various locations and are fully integrated into the city.
The walk ends with a grand finale back at our location on Haverwerf.

This team building activity was the winner of the competition in the context of “Mechelen team building city 2023”.
