Illuminati Cabin

This unique overnight experience attracts escape room enthusiasts from across Europe, with the cabin being booked around 100 days a year. The Freemason lodge has been infiltrated by a mole, and your task is to help identify them. Even before arriving at the cabin, you're provided with some preliminary information to kickstart the game, a small teaser to set the stage. Once you arrive, it's all about finding the cabin and diving into the mystery. As soon as the door opens, you're greeted by an array of decorations, padlocks, and symbols—hinting at the many brainteasers ahead. The cabin itself features a small kitchen, tea/coffee, a fridge with freezer, a table for four, a compact bath/toilet, and two bedrooms—one with bunk beds and the other with a double bed. The cabin is best suited for 2–4 players and ideally you should have tried an escape room before and enjoyed it. If this turns out not to be your thing, it can become a very long and challenging night. We had an amazing experience from the moment we arrived. It remains the longest continuous escape room experience we've ever had, and it’s a completely different dynamic when you’re not confined to the usual 1–2 hour timeframe. It requires persistence when you hit a wall—or the ability to reset mentally, take a walk, and come back fresh. The cabin isn’t monitored, so there’s no gamemaster offering unsolicited hints if you’re stuck. As a result, we couldn’t log our completion time, as there’s no clock keeping track of time either. A rough estimate is that we spent around 7 hours solving the puzzles. You can request hints via a tablet if you’re truly stuck. Hints are delivered as short video clips in three tiers: the first offers subtle help, the second is more direct, and the third provides the full solution. There’s a natural pause point in the game, which most participants will reach during the evening—this ensures you get a bit of sleep, as progression past this point isn’t possible until the next morning. The ending felt a bit anticlimactic for us, as it wrapped up very quickly—but this will naturally vary depending on how swiftly the final puzzles are cracked. Ideally, you’ll finish the game to experience the full journey. The puzzles were well integrated into the cabin, engaging various senses and cognitive skills, and all four of us were involved throughout. You’re also generously supplied with snacks, wine/beer/soda, and both dinner and breakfast are delivered to the door—so you never have to break from the story or abandon a thrilling puzzle to hunt down a pizza. This made the experience feel complete, and we never lacked food or drink. We rate the difficulty as slightly above average—3 out of 5 acorns—considering how much time you have to solve the challenges. Patience goes a long way. Most puzzles are relatively simple, but there are many of them, and being active for so many hours adds a layer of challenge.
