Doctor Watsons, Escape room in Arminius church, Rotterdam, Netherlands
Doctor Watsons offers two escape room experiences called L'Architecte and La Residence located in the basement of the historic Arminius church in central Rotterdam. Both rooms are fully immersed in a detective setting and challenge groups to uncover hidden secrets.
The La Residence room's narrative is based on the story of the final preacher of Arminius church, who left behind a formula for the Aqua da Vida elixir before vanishing. This plot ties the basement to the church's own history.
The place draws on characters and stories from Arthur Conan Doyle's works, introducing visitors to mysteries set in the early 1900s. The rooms create a world where you can imagine yourself as a detective from that era.
The venue accommodates groups of two to six players for 60-minute sessions, with advance reservations recommended due to high demand throughout the week. Book early to secure your preferred time slot.
The rooms use technology-based puzzles instead of traditional locks, requiring players to solve challenges through innovative mechanisms. This modern approach sets it apart from typical escape room designs.
