Der Spielzeugmacher [Toy Maker]Big Break HamburgEscape roomIRLAs already known, the escape room is one of the best in Germany. We were not disappointed. The room was designed with great attention to detail. Every element had a purpose. We played it as a team of two, which left us with little time to fully appreciate the room. The only negative aspect is that the 60-minute game time is too short for two people to let the room take effect.
Metropolis 2099Dream LabsEscape roomIRLWe first played The Legend of the Heartless Pirate and really enjoyed the live act. We had actually expected more of it, not just a short appearance, but that wasn’t a problem at all. Overall, the room was incredible in terms of intensity, attention to detail, and authenticity. It’s truly amazing what they’ve created in such a small town. Thank you for the great experience and the friendly interaction!
The Lost Treasure Of Alexander Von HumboldtThe RoomEscape roomIRLThe Lost Treasure Of Alexander von Humboldt is one of the two best rooms offered by The Room according to our evaluation. The introduction and the initial briefing were very well executed. The room design and thematic concept were consistently convincing. The puzzles were coherent and thoughtfully integrated into the overall concept. The game also incorporated various sensory elements in a deliberate and effective manner. Overall, the room is carefully designed and provides a highly enjoyable experience. The game master deserves special mention. He allowed us to play independently and did not provide a single hint. We can fully recommend this room without reservation.
Die Legende vom herzlosen Piraten [The Tale of the Heartless Pirate]Dream LabsEscape roomIRLI’ve played quite a few escape rooms by now, but none has made me drift into another reality from the moment I entered the location quite like this one. I honestly wondered whether this was really an escape room or something more. The whole experience began the moment I stepped inside and kept me captivated until the very end. The live act was incredible and made me immerse even deeper into the world. Since we only stayed for one day, we asked if it might be possible to play Metropolis 2099 in the morning — and a staff member kindly opened the room just for us. We definitely have to come back to play Lost, the last room we haven’t experienced yet from this amazing provider.
The Hidden Chamber: Der Schatz Der Alten Meister [The Hidden Chamber: The Treasure of the Ancient Masters]Salzufler UnterweltEscape roomIRLWe played the room today. The introduction by the gamemaster Sophie was excellent right from the start. After that, you immediately understand why they recommend going to the restroom beforehand. By the way, there are also paid toilets at the train station for a small fee. The introduction and the atmosphere work from the very first second. It is important to know that the introduction is not counted as part of the actual game time. If you include the introduction, which is fully integrated into the setting, the whole experience lasts around 70 minutes. We really liked the room and had a lot of fun. The puzzles were well designed and nicely varied.
The Golden PhoenixMiraculumEscape roomIRLThe room is excellent from the very beginning. The effects are impressive. The game starts in a mysterious way and offers a well-crafted introduction. You feel transported into a magical world. It creates a dense, immersive atmosphere. You fully dive into the setting and are actively woven into the story. The puzzles work well for two people. Tasks can be sensibly divided up. The room design is implemented in a truly special way. We do not want to share details to avoid spoilers. Overall, it is a great experience in an outstanding setting. For Harry Potter fans, it is a must. We can definitely recommend the room. Note: It is not a puzzle-heavy room, but is more focused on the magical experience.
Drachenhöhle 2.0 [Dragon Cave 2.0]Open the DoorEscape roomIRLI’ve played quite a few escape rooms, even more than I’ve noted here, and this was by far the best one I’ve experienced. You can really feel the love and attention to detail that went into it, and our gamemaster turned it into a truly memorable adventure. Unfortunately, it’s a bit far from Northern Germany – otherwise I would have already played every room this company offers.
Brandon Darkmoor: Der Fall des Afrikanischen Götzen [Brandon Darkmoor: The Strange Case of the African Idol]Salzufler UnterweltEscape roomIRLWe also really enjoyed this room from this provider. Our game master Vanessa introduced us to the game very well. Everything also ran smoothly during the game. As with the other rooms from this provider, the experience begins before the actual game starts. You should go to the bathroom beforehand so you don’t interrupt the setting. There is a restroom at the train station for a small fee. The actual game time only begins once you enter the room. Everything before that is already part of the story. This part was exciting and also quite humorous in some moments. Anyone who has already played the other Brandon Darkmoor case at The Room Berlin will quickly notice that the rooms are hardly comparable. The only constant is Brandon Darkmoor with his charm. The room has a dark setting. The puzzles fit the theme well and were a lot of fun. The only problem is that I am apparently cursed now. Otherwise, it was a great experience.
FrankensteinMiraculumEscape roomIRLFrankenstein is overall a very well-designed room. The scare factor is clearly noticeable and significantly enhances the atmosphere. The introduction follows the provider’s usual concept and is structured and immersive. Anyone who wants to be fully engaged in the story from the beginning should read the second email carefully in advance. The central element is a manuscript that is introduced into the storyline by the librarian. Upon entering the room, the dark atmosphere is immediately perceptible. The setting is convincing due to its detailed design and consistent thematic implementation. Two puzzles, however, deserve critical consideration. The underlying task was understandable, yet the solution could not be successfully completed for certain reasons. One of these puzzles appears to cause difficulties more frequently. This led to noticeable frustration within the group. Apart from these two weaknesses, the room is overall very well designed and provides a coherent and enjoyable experience.
Das Geheimnis der Uhrmacherin [The Watchmaker]Harz EscapeEscape roomIRLThe escape room gave us great pleasure. The gamemaster was also the managing director, whose strong passion for the subject was immediately evident. This became clear from the very beginning. The welcome and the introduction to the room were delivered with great expressiveness and emotional depth, which immediately created a strong sense of motivation and suspense. Both the storyline and the room itself were highly convincing. The exceptional setting deserves special mention, as it clearly reflects the high level of care taken in its design. The room demonstrates a well-thought-out concept and a remarkable attention to detail. In addition, it was explained that the room is continuously being further developed, which further underlines its high quality standards.
