Original puzzles, not too difficult and fortunately not too easy - With 3 adults this Escape game played on Texel. Had a very nice afternoon. The puzzles were very original, not too difficult and fortunately not too easy. This month no group was faultless, nice to be able to view the “scoreboard” afterwards. Den Burg is not that big, but this way you see the village differently and discover that there is more to see than just cozy terraces and shops. The length of the route was fine, fortunately not only the shopping streets but also beyond. Also nice that the game does not go “on time”, so it is possible to take a break halfway on one of the terraces along the route.
