See Social Chaos in action

CSI meets escape room meets actors, but for real.

What is Social Chaos?

A unique open escape room with real characters, fully tailored and at a venue of your choice: at the office, in a stylish space in the city, a hotel or even on the beach. Unlike a fixed escape room you play indoors and outdoors at the same time, in sub-teams of 4 to 6, up to 500 participants in total. The actors provide realistic stimuli, teamwork under pressure and surprising twists.

NEVERREST brings everything: screens, projectors and even complete wifi infrastructure. We suggest venues and make the first contact if you like; you decide on atmosphere, food and drinks. Your own ideas and venues are more than welcome.

The experience: three phases

1

Briefing

You gather at the base location. On large screens an immersive story unfolds, a hack, a disappearance, a mystery demanding attention. The mission is clear, the clock is ticking. From now on, nobody is who they seem.

2

Investigation & chaos

Indoors, puzzles are cracked and clues analysed. Outdoors, team members look for mysterious contacts blending into the streetscape. Information keeps coming in, but can you trust it? The pressure rises, and only teams that work together get ahead.

3

The reveal

The finale brings everything together: the best moments, the sharpest observations and the winning team. Personal anecdotes and hilarious flashbacks make for a closing that resonates for weeks.

The clock is ticking. The chaos is growing. Your team is tested on every front.

This is an often-played schedule, but timing is always tailored. Social Chaos works just as well as a morning programme flowing into lunch, as a full-day programme in two parts, or as an evening programme until 10 pm. Everyone starts together at the venue, and the closing with anecdotes and the award ceremony is always included.

Frequently asked questions about Social Chaos

How is it different from a regular escape room?
An escape room is a fixed room with one hour and a door. Social Chaos is an open escape room with actors: not a room but a story unfolding around you, with teams playing indoors and outdoors at the same time and actors responding to you live. And unlike a fixed room, it plays with up to 500 people at once.
Can a colleague join who cannot walk far or prefers to stay inside?
Yes, Social Chaos is ideal for that. Anyone can simply choose to stay inside the whole time: in every team of up to 6, a few people always remain indoors while others go out for the encounters. A short trip outside, a breath of fresh air, stretching your legs, is always possible, but never required. Do let us know in advance who it concerns, and we will think along.
Where can Social Chaos be played?
Almost anywhere in the Netherlands and Belgium: at the office, in a hotel, on a country estate, in a beach pavilion. We bring everything; all that is needed is a base room with tables and chairs per team and power sockets. Contact us for venue suggestions.
What does Social Chaos cost per person?
Social Chaos is playable from 5 people. Up to 20 participants the price is €1,895 in total, whether you come with 5 or with 20. Above that the price scales with the group: €2,390 at 30 participants (€80 p.p.), €3,040 at 50 participants (€61 p.p.) and €10,910 at 200 participants (€55 p.p.). All amounts exclude VAT and include the actors, game direction, materials and the prize for the winning team. See the full price table for every group size and the film option.
Does it also work as a murder mystery or detective game?
Absolutely, the detective work of a murder investigation is baked in: combining evidence, connecting the dots, deciding under pressure. Actors play the characters live, so no two editions are the same.
How many people can take part in Social Chaos?
From 5 to 500 people, in sub-teams of 4 to 6 so everyone plays an active role. From 360 participants we work with sub-teams of up to 8 or 9 plus bonus missions.

When do you choose Social Chaos?

Choose Social Chaos when the game should come to you: at the office, in a hotel, in the city or in a beach pavilion, smaller towns included. Largely indoors and therefore far less weather-dependent, in extreme weather we adjust the outdoor moments. The same tension and actors as The Game, but on your own turf. Chosen by HR managers, office managers and event agencies for team days, strategy days, department outings and international offsites.

Prefer the city as your backdrop?

Then The Game is your concept: a cinematic city adventure with the same professional standard, but with the city as the film set. Not sure? See 30 seconds of clarity.

At your own venue, anywhere in the Netherlands or Belgium

Social Chaos runs from virtually any indoor venue: your own office, a hotel, a conference centre or a beach club. We bring in all the technology ourselves, so the location needs nothing more than a room to start from. The experience plays out indoors and outdoors, and in rough weather it moves fully indoors — your team event goes ahead whatever the forecast. Meanwhile our professional actors blend into the crowd, so nobody is quite sure who is playing along. Curious about the wider options? See our team building overview.
