Stay in the Dark is a 2.5 hour, intense experience that takes place in a huge space of over 4000 m2 with multiple floors. We use light and sound effects to create a movie-like experience that makes you forget time and reality.

The Stay in the Dark escape room experience is unique in the world and can best be compared to an intense horror movie, only this time, you’re the one playing the leading role.

The Stay in the Dark escape room experience is our scariest experience to date, but we never cross your boundaries. We strive to build up tension in a fun way and carefully try to get a feel for how far we can go. That’s why we like to use the term “fun-scary”. So yes, it is scary and in some moments even very intense, but always with the aim to make sure you have a super good time, not to make you come out with grey hair.

You’re gonna go on an emotional journey. In the Stay in the Dark escape room, you are the main character in the movie. That’s why how scary the experience ends up being is totally dependent on the degree to which you lean into it.

Absolutely, the actor even plays an essential role in the Stay in the Dark escape room, and trust us, you’re going to love it! We work with trained actors that get a precise feel for what’s needed to ramp up the tension in a fun way.

This experience is incredibly intense. If you think you might not be able to take it, we recommend skipping this experience. You’d just be missing out on the experience of a lifetime, nothing more.

No, Stay in the Dark is a premium private experience that you exclusively go through with your teammates. That’s the reason this experience is a bit more expensive than the average escape room. Stay in the Dark is not an escape room and takes place in an enormous space of over 4000 square meters, reserved exclusively for you and your teammates.

We don’t like excluding people, but given the intense nature of this experience and the grim location, we advise against the Stay in the Dark escape room experience for:

• (Heavily) pregnant women
• Heart patients
• People with anxiety disorders
• People with epilepsy
• People that struggle to walk
• People under 16
• People with a fear of heights

This unique experience takes place in an abandoned building that we can use temporarily. The building is scheduled to be demolished, so we never know longer than 3 months in advance if we’ll be allowed to stay in it. We secretly hope to extend our stay after 3 months, but we have no guarantee. So if you don’t want to miss Stay in the Dark, don’t take any risks and make a reservation while you still can.

ATTENTION: Due to high levels of interest, Stay in the Dark is often sold out. If you sign up for our waiting list, you’ll get an e-mail any time a timeslot opens up.

Stay in the Dark takes place in a massive building without heating. The tension will have you heat up pretty quickly, but the first part may be a bit chilly in the winter months. Keep this in mind in your choice of clothing.

Also make sure not to wear clothing with attributes that could snag, such as loose parts or a hood.

Keep in mind that you might get dirty during this experience. You’re gonna climb, run, crawl, fall, and get back up. So don’t wear brand new or light clothing, and leave your favorite shoes and jewelery at home while you’re at it.

Stay in the Dark is a temporary experience and even though we do everything we can to make it as safe as possible for everybody, this experience does have differences compared to other escape rooms. For one, the space is many times larger and lighting is limited in many areas. In case of an emergency, the experience will be interrupted immediately and emergency lighting will turn on in strategic areas of the building. Next to doors that lock there’s an emergency stop present, and all other doors just remain open, so in cases of an emergency you can always leave the building yourselves. There’s always a minimum of three (usually more) trained DarkPark employees available in the building to assist in emergencies.

Because the experience takes place in a huge empty building and people may react unexpectedly due to fear, it’s impossible to entirely cover every single risk factor. Please keep this in mind before you make a reservation. Participation is wholly at your own risk.
