Escape room

It is the newest room of the provider and for that the technology is at the level of 6 years ago.
All puzzles are solved only on the PC, with small exceptions at the very beginning. The groups are always forced to split up and unfortunately one group doesn't really have anything to do.
During my visit, I unfortunately didn't catch the end because I was in the wrong room for the finale.
An insane amount of potential was given away.
Unfortunately not recommended at all!!!

This is a great concept for a room with a choose your own adventure aspect and alternate endings. However, execution leaves much to be desired. Separated and Chris had little to do. High tech but lots of confusion. With a lot of refinement this could be a great room, so we are giving it the like for its potential. 

Escape Couple rating:
3 🗝️: A room that wants to wow you but doesn’t quite pull it off  
(we use a 1-6🗝️ rating scale)

Had a fun vibe and story, but ultimately felt like a lot of missed potential. Not that great of puzzles and was more an awkward/frustrating experience, see the other spoilered reviews for why (and trust me, they are not spoiling much).

This room just left us all pretty unsatisfied. None of the riddles were particulary interesting and it was absolutely annoying that not all of us could witness all of the riddles due to always being separated. Some didn't even witness the ending because of that. It's interesting that you have two separate endings depending on your choice, but I think it's weird to have the other ending be longer (like, you have to solve more stuff in the end to get to it).
Most riddles are done on a PC. The others are just combination locks with three or four numbers. Not really that creative or anything.
The set design isn't that great. Especially since it reminds me a lot of the Hoffman Formel (the room that was previously in there), which means they didn't even care enough to actually create something new.

The Hoffman Formel was worse, but even though this room is better than it, it doesn't mean that it's good. 1,5/5 Not recommended at all

Das Thema des Raums ist an sich eigentlich sehr spannend. Allerdings sind einige Rätsel für uns nicht lösbar gewesen, weil sie nicht korrekt beschriftet waren. Andere Rätsel haben einfach nicht funktioniert. Auch, war uns nicht ersichtlich, dass man sich hätte entscheiden können. Einige Anleitungen waren auf Englisch, weshalb es für manche vielleicht nochmal herausfordernder sein kann.
