Mark as done to rate

You stare, trembling, at the strange clues in your hands. Again and again you mentally read the cryptic lines that your friends left you. Fog shrouds the dark forest. You hear mysterious whispers. What lurks there between the gnarled trees? Shadowy shadows dart back and forth. You remember the villagers' last warning: "Never enter the forest at night, or it will be your last." All clues to your friends' whereabouts lead to a weather-beaten shack at the edge of the forest. Do you dare to follow the tracks? On a playing area of ​​200 square meters you will experience an immersive thriller in a dark forest, but be warned - you are rarely alone in dark forests! Do not engage in the experience if you are very afraid of the dark. We recommend that you wear sturdy shoes and do not wear your best clothes for your experience. The smaller the group, the more intense the experience. One of the most spectacular thriller escape rooms in Europe awaits you at our new location in Wuppertal-Barmen .

A thoroughly well-crafted experience! The authenticity of the props, the immersive setting with atmospheric lighting and sound effects, and the fantastic actors – everything comes together perfectly here. This horror escape room impresses with its rich atmosphere and attention to detail. The difficulty level is on the lower side, but due to the constant tension throughout the game, that hardly matters. The game flow is excellent – we managed to complete it without any hints. A truly fantastic experience that I can wholeheartedly recommend!

Die Atmosphäre war unfassbar realistisch, die Kulisse filmreif und die Scare Actors haben ganze Arbeit geleistet. Ein besonderes Highlight, im Anschluss die “Best of”-Momente nochmal anschauen zu können. Absolute Empfehlung.

I loved the atmosphere of this room. I thought it was very scary! The actors did a really good job! The decor looked very good. The only thing I thought fcould be better is that I sometimes didn’t understand why I was doung the things I was doing. If they can make this clearer in the story, the room would be even better!

A fantastic experience from start to finish. Really fun moments and cinematic scenes really drew us in and kept us yearning for more. Realistic and sizable set design and great puzzling without being overly scary. A really great game that you can’t miss. My favorite game in Germany, and one our groups favorites from our trip.

Another masterpiece by Escape Stories Wuppertal. The Dark Forest definitely deserves its place on the Terpeca list and I have never been so scared in my life. xD The introduction was an experience in itself. Really 10/10 for the actors. The puzzles were simple but fitting for the scenario. Anyone who has played a horror room knows that logical thinking is limited. The atmosphere was absolutely terrifying and put your nerves to the test. 10/10 must play.

Der zweite Horrorraum den ich je gespielt habe. Eine solche Atmosphäre habe ich noch nie erlebt. Die Schauspieler machen einen wahnsinnigen Job, und die Stimmung kommt perfekt rüber. Kann ich jedem der sich gerne in die Hose scheißt nur empfehlen

Dark Forest is an escape room that delivers an incredibly immersive and atmospheric experience. From the moment you enter, the setting feels like a scene straight out of a horror movie, with dense fog, eerie sound effects, and meticulously detailed props enhancing the spooky ambiance. The live actors contribute significantly to the tension, creating moments of genuine fear and excitement. The puzzles are well-integrated and provide a good challenge without overshadowing the immersive experience. The use of lighting and sound to build suspense is particularly effective. Overall, Dark Forest offers a thrilling adventure that is both memorable and unique, making it a top recommendation for horror escape room enthusiasts.
