Exactly 100 years ago, the Rozentheater was Amsterdam’s first megabioscoop, a 1000-seat movie palace with two balconies and a state-of-the-art projection booth. During the Roaring 20s and beyond, the people of de Jordaan sat spellbound in their seats while the mighty projector shined fantasy on the silver screen.

Today, the Rozentheater is a popular venue with theaters, a bar, and of course, the Boom Chicago comedy show. Although no longer a cinema, the old projection booth still exists. Your journey begins in the projection booth, where you start the projector and enter the movies. Can you escape your journey through the movies?

Escape Through the Movies, Boom Chicago’s fifth escape room, is our best yet. Artistic Director Andrew Moskos leads a team that provides story, design, decor, actors, props, music, video, tech, hardware, and software. Puzzles are designed by Pep Rosenfeld, the best in the business.
