A Dutch truck containing an escape room built as part of a crime prevention initiative will tour six Hungarian cities between 9 and 20 September, the organiser Pécs University said.
Dutch escape room truck in Hungary
Organised in cooperation between the research centre for the fight against human trafficking set up at Pécs University’s Faculty of Law and the Dutch Reshape Foundation, the “escapetruck” had already visited Hungary twice in the past.
The truck contains three escape rooms set up demonstrating the circumstances that surround people when working in a brothel, forced into prostitution, the statement said.
Visitors can listen to the story of a victim, presenting her background story, and the way human traffickers operate.
By receiving clues on how to get out of the escape room, they are forced to get actively immersed in her story, also demonstrated with visual and sound effects.
Participation is free of charge and the organisers especially recommend the escapetruck experience to 14-18-year-olds, who are the most vulnerable group.
Additionally, members of the Hungarian police force are also offered educational events at the site.
The escapetruck will visit Győr on 9-10 September, Budapest on 11-12 September, Kaposvár on 13 September, Dombóvár on 16-17 September, Komló on 18 September, and Pécs on 19-20 September.
