Neil Parker comes from a long line of money and power, but little is known about his family's origins. The tyrant's totalitarian regime is very careful with the few details that are told about his ancestors: great battles, a lot of honor and some betrayal... Unsubstantiated rumors say that they were part of the Austro-Hungarian aristocracy, and other stories date back to Genghis Khan himself. But the reality is quite different. The Parkers' origins were humble, and like many stories worth telling, it began in a Tavern. Delve into the story of Neil Ferdinand, the true ancestor of the City tyrant, to discover what started 400 years ago and is still alive in the Tavern of The City Escape Room Barcelona.

the game begins like a triumph with an incredibly fun actor interaction, rich sets, pirate adventure, and fun puzzles. And then… the final room (and what a gorgeous final room it is) has the worst audio of any game I’ve ever played. When the climax becomes 20 minutes of “What was that? Could you please repeat what you just said?” something is wrong. Plus something in the final room undid what happened in an earlier room, making it difficult to complete one of the final puzzles. This is a game I’d love to rank higher because so much of it is exceptional. (it was near the bottom of our list for games in Spain)

Wow, this has instantly hit my top 5 games of all time. We loved the story telling, interactions with the actors and epic set design. Puzzles are thematic and heavily focused on team play.

Terrific acting and great sets, really impressive stuff but unfortunately I felt like we were constantly being pushed and every puzzle was basically explained to us so we didn't really do much. The end also needs better speakers because a lot of the time you couldn't really hear what was being said by the recordings. It's a great game, but the constant acting/help just made it a bit less enjoyable for me.

This game deeply impressed us and its one of the best we have ever played. Its a very big world we discovered and everything felt real. The set design is amazing. We felt so many emotions when we discovered the world. A must play game and the best game of our escape room trip to spain! I felt in love with this game!

Huge room with so much to do, incredible sets, and lovely, talented live actors. Solid mix of puzzles throughout, but the main draw is definitely the level of immersion in the set and with the actors. As others have mentioned, the poor sound quality in the final room sours the ending quite a bit, and made some final puzzles a little frustrating, but overall the experience is so unique, and at two hours you really feel like you get your monies worth.

Great sets and story. They were actually so cool they felt distracting from the puzzles. I got annoyed by the puzzles because the scenes were so cool and when we got stuck I was extra annoyed because it pulled me out of the amazing immersion. The actors were so great!!! They really added the final touch to everything.

A must-play if you’re in/near Barcelona! A level of detail and set design that sets it apart as one of the best escape rooms we’ve played, and the live actor interactions add so much fun and laughter. Shattered at the end, but didn’t regret a second of it!

It was an amazing set. There were live actors and for us maybe it was too much actor interaction in the beginning we just wanted to start solving puzzles as soon as possible. We played 2. We were few minutes over time but they let us finish the experience which was great. Maybe 3-4 people would be better for some puzzles. There was on part of the game where it was difficult to communicate with each other or hear the game master. There was not emergency button. We do recommend to visit, but maybe not during a summer as it was very hot inside and we were very sweaty. Great experience especially if you like pirate themed games!
