OMG, that outdoor escape room in Old Aalborg with witches from the 1600s was lit! The old-timey vibes were like, sooo spooky, and the puzzles were totally mixed with the witch stuff.
And get this, it wasn’t just fun; it was learning history without being boring! We found out how people back then were all superstitious and stuff. So crazy!
Playing as a squad was awesome. We had to work together, which made us even tighter.
Bottom line, if you want a blast from the past that’s, 5 stars amazing, you gotta try this 🔮🔥✨
