Is a school event with Epic Escape worthwhile? What teachers say.

We were here for the school walking day. We divided the class into 4 groups and then virtually competed against each other. The puzzles were very creative, fun and varied. In short, I can recommend it.

It is a very nice place we are currently here with the school class it is a lot of fun with a group I recommend it to anyone who wants to do something with their family

A great experience for pupils. The teachers also had a lot of fun. We booked the school event with almost 50 pupils and the challenge mode in particular was a great motivation. It was also great that we kept bumping into each other despite the different routes! I highly recommend it and the educational price makes it easy to implement. Many thanks for a great morning!

We used the Epic Escape offer with our school class. The organization worked great and the reimbursement of money (two students were sick) worked out great. The "scavenger hunt" was well suited for an 8th grade class (tended to be a little too difficult).

How far do you have to walk in the Outdoor Escape?

Our Outdoor Escapes are not marathons, but offer a unique puzzle adventure. The walking distance is only 1.2 km and is barrier-free, so Outdoor Escapes are also suitable for people with disabilities.
