Estimated reading time: 6 minutes

Looking for a team-building activity that’s thrilling, scalable, and truly unforgettable? The escape challenge “Morte Frio” is making waves in the Netherlands as a top choice for corporate events, school outings, and large group celebrations. Here’s everything you need to know about this immersive experience and how to book it for your next event.

What Is Escape Challenge “Morte Frio”?

Escape challenge “Morte Frio” is a large-scale, portable escape game designed specifically for group events and team-building in the Netherlands. Unlike traditional escape rooms, “Morte Frio” brings the excitement to you — whether at your office, an event venue, or even outdoors. The game is crafted for groups ranging from 10 to 5,000 participants, making it one of the most flexible and impactful activities for corporate and educational gatherings.

The Storyline: High Stakes in the Amazon

Participants are plunged into a dramatic scenario: a guerrilla cartel known as “Morte Frio” has taken hostages on the edge of the Amazon. Teams must race against the clock to solve a series of puzzles, crack codes, and ultimately open the final box before their rivals do. The immersive, crime-thriller narrative amps up the tension and engagement, ensuring everyone is on the edge of their seat.

How It Works

  • Team Formation: Groups are split into teams of 5–8 people, each with their own setup in a shared space.
  • Simultaneous Play: All teams compete at the same time, seeing each other’s progress and even interacting — sometimes with helpful hints, sometimes with playful deception.
  • Professional Hosting: A dedicated host guides the experience, keeps energy high, and ensures smooth gameplay.
  • Duration: The challenge typically lasts 1 to 1.25 hours — perfect for fitting into a half-day or full-day event schedule.
  • Languages: The game is available in both Dutch and English, making it ideal for international teams.

What Makes “Morte Frio” Unique?
