FAQ

• What is an escape room?
  An escape room is a game where you get locked in a room and can discover the path to freedom by solving various puzzles and assignments. A game (with us) lasts for about one hour.
• Where is escape room The Gallery located and how do we get there?
  Our address is Leidsegracht 108-souterrain in Amsterdam. The entrance is opposite to the canal. There is a round door with a bright red lit door bell at the end of a couple of stairs. We are located at walking distance (a couple of minutes) from the Leidseplein. From here, trams connect you to the entire city. For example; to Amsterdam Central Station (trams 1, 2 en 5), to subway station Weesperplein (tram 7 and 10) where you can take the subway (metro in Dutch) to travel further to station Bijlmer Arena and Amsterdam Amstel. You can use Google Maps to plan your journey with public transport. Travelling the Dutch way, by bike, is also highly recommended. You can park your bike at the Raamplein. It is also possible to come by car, but parking is very expensive. The nearest parking lot is QPark Byzantium, tariff is approximately 6 euros per hour. Make sure that you are present with your entire group 10 minutes before the game starts.
• How many players can play the escape room?
  The escape room is designed in a way that groups large and small can all enjoy a fun challenge. We feel that the escape room is best suited for groups of 3 to 6 players.
