Die Jagd auf Jack the Ripper [The Hunt for Jack the Ripper]

We also played the escape room “The Hunt for Jack the Ripper” at Fun Fabrik. First off, the room’s design deserves special mention. The atmosphere of a London alleyway was really beautifully recreated and creates the perfect setting. Unfortunately, however, we encountered the same organizational issues here as we did in the other room. Apparently, one person is responsible for the front desk, the laser tag guests, and the escape rooms all at the same time. This was unfortunately very noticeable during the game. Even the intro didn’t work—the story didn’t play. There were also technical issues later on, forcing us to pause the game several times while the equipment was being fixed. This, of course, significantly disrupted our immersion. On top of that, communication with the Game Master was once again very difficult. When we needed help, we sometimes had to call out countless times and wave at the camera before anyone even responded. We often felt like we were completely on our own because the staff member was busy with other tasks. The room itself is generally well-designed, even though some puzzles weren’t entirely logical to us and the solutions sometimes didn’t seem entirely clear. We could have lived with that—but the organizational and technical issues detracted much more significantly from the overall experience. It’s a shame, because we really liked the setting. With reliable technology, better supervision, and enough staff, this room could be a lot more fun.
