The Mafia Hostage

In the middle of a regular meeting, you’re suddenly surprised and ambushed. A man in a balaclava storms in and forces you into a separate room – a room filled with smoke, suspenseful music, and nerve-racking escape challenges. Very quickly, it becomes clear: you’ve been taken hostage by the Italian mafia. The only way out? Pay €1 million in ransom.

But there’s a catch: You have just one hour to find the money. Can you do it in time and escape the mafia?

Escape games, riddles, and teambuilding

As soon as the game begins, everyone naturally takes on a role. Some dive straight into the puzzles. Others try to keep the bigger picture in mind. What exactly is the plan? Which colleague will step up to lead? How will you reach your goal in just one hour? One thing is certain: you’ll need to work together and communicate effectively. Only then can you escape within the time limit. Because here, teambuilding is the key to success.

“Uitjesbazen have been bringing an escape room on location to us for several years now.” Uitjesbazen have been coming to us at Maastricht School of Management – Maastricht University for several years now to organise an on-location escape room.

Frequently asked questions

From Amsterdam to Breda and from Utrecht to Eindhoven – we can transform any space of your choice into a real escape room. Think meeting rooms, office spaces, classrooms – you name it. We create the setting using various props, such as cutlery, safes, paintings, banners, and much more.

The minimum requirement for the room is 30 m². It’s also helpful if the room has some basic furniture, like tables and chairs. This way, you’ll get the most out of your on-location escape room experience.

The Mafia Hostage is designed for a maximum of around 20 participants per room. Are you with a larger group? We can set up multiple rooms so a large group can play at the same time – both with and against each other.

It’s also possible to start several escape rooms one after another, making The Mafia Hostage perfectly suited for bigger groups.

You can book The Mafia Hostage from €29.50 per person (excluding VAT). Are you with a large group? The bigger the group, the more discount we can offer. Feel free to ask us about the possibilities.

Your Uitjesbazen host will arrive well in advance to prepare everything. We need about one hour to set up one room. It’s important that the participants are not present during the setup.

After the game, our host will need around 30 minutes to clear the room. There’s also the option for a short debrief, which is only fair if you didn’t manage to escape the Italian mafia in time. 😉

Our top tip: the time. The goal of any escape room is, of course, to escape before time runs out. But how do you do that? Pay attention to details, work together, communicate clearly, divide tasks, and make the most of each other’s strengths. In other words: let real teambuilding happen.

And keep in mind that every escape game is different. For example, in our games, the hosts are not just facilitators — they are trained escape room actors, adding an extra layer of immersion. So yes, there’s a lot to pay attention to. Want to know more? Get in touch — we’d love to tell you why our escape games are the perfect outing for your team.
