SHOW NOTES
What is DarkPark actually all about, at its core? In this episode Gijs and Els dig into the idea behind You are the Story and what that line really means. Not just inside escape rooms, but outside them too. They talk about building in a market that keeps getting more expensive and more ambitious, about giving hints without breaking the flow, about negativity and gossip in the escape room world, and about whether it's still worth starting an escape room today.
