X it room

What?

In 2013 the first X it room of the Netherlands was a fact! (Eindhoven)

But where the really the first one!? Nobody knows…

At the same time in 2013 came the escaperoom in Bunschoten to life.

They both say that it doesn’t matter who was first, there’s no concuration and they even recommend each other! What a collaboration !

The concept of the “X it room” is: putting a couple of friends , colleagues in a smal room full of secrets, riddles, hints and puzzles. And then given them 60 minutes, to slove all off the mysteries and escape! To slove this mysterie you have to work together, because on your own you can’t fix it! There are always things that you didn’t saw, but you partner did. Riddles that you only can understand by working together. There is no time to lose, so you just have to begin with searching, thinking and most off all trying things! Show some action! All these ingredients lead to a better knowledge off each other, collaboration, band and atmosphere! So I think, that are enough reasons to do this!

You can reservate a room at 2 locations in the centre of Eindhoven, and at 3 locations in the centre of Amsterdam since this september! That’s now, so if you want to be the first visitor in Amsterdam…Buy a ticket!

The “X it room” is really fast growing! Especially under youth and adolescents

(± 18 -28 year). It’s also really populair under international tourists, and it’s often used for a business trip for team building. And furthermore a lot of companey’s are really exciting, for example: “ ASML, PHILIPS , KPN, RABOBANK , ING , NS , VGZ , DELA , DAF, PWC ,ELOITTE , ED and SBS6” . Even the television is exciting, “VARA” (national tv) had spent a section on the “X it room”. I think that I say nothing weird, if I say that they are quite FAMOUS!

Why?

The “X it room” is made for people who are curious, inquisitive, responsible, creative, enterprising, open-minded, intellectual and competitive.

Furthermore you can lose all your needs in the field of; discovering, winning, performing, leading and collaborating.

At first the concept is really young (in the Netherlands), the time pressure in this game which gives it a certain atmosphere and makes it exciting, the activity you have to show in this game, the fact that you’re actually a part of a exciting action film and last but not least you’re doing this game together this leads to a group feeling and stronger ties ! This makes the concept “COOL” to me, other youth and adolescents who have a adventurous, active and creative mind.

The mega trends “Discover” and “Speed” made this concept attractive and inspiring. “Discover” people (youth) want to explorer the world more than ever before! They go further and further, it can’t be far enough away ! This huge discovering desire leads to the popularity of the searching tours in the “X it room”.

“Fast” also the trend of fast faster fastest, which leads a very important role by the youth and the adolescents in their everyday life. Plays a important role in this concept. You only get 60 minutes to escape the room, so you can say that time is a subject of the concept! This also contribute to the popularity of the concept !

I believe for sure that this concept has a great future! I predict a huge and fast grow in the next 5 years and a huge success by tourists ! Why by them? They’re always in for a new and funny thing, and I believe that they get a little sick of only taking pictures.

So an activity might be refreshing, exciting and funny !

For me this has absolutely a lot of potential! It’s like nothing else ever done before, you can extend it very easy and connect every room with the theme you want. You see that individualization plays a major role in the society now, but I think in a few years people want to go back to more ofline contacts, real personal ties and cooperate more. The “X it room” contains this all.

I Think the “X it room” learns us to use or time smarter, we learn to think faster and become more productive. I also think that we become even more curious, we’ll go even further from home as we do now and we’ll explorer even more than we do now. But I think that the big difference is that we want to do more in the time we have, than we do now. As example we’re going to 5 different places in the world in the same time as we visit 1 place now.
