200 escape rooms
The Last Dance / Der Letzte Tanz by Rätselkeller Am Markt was the fourth escape room of our Germany tour, and the first of the day. We were the same group of 3, and were warmly welcomed by the owner—who kindly opened the location early for us on a Sunday morning, making us the first players of the day. The experience stood out for its beautifully crafted 1920s setting and the deeply personal story behind it, based on the owner’s own family. That emotional connection and attention to detail really came through in the decor and the atmosphere of the room. The puzzles were well thought out and flowed nicely with the narrative. The hint system was a charming touch—delivered via an old-timey radio commercial that kept immersion intact. To top it off, we were invited to enjoy a small drink of the owner’s family-made liquor at the end of the game, which added a warm and personal finishing touch. Recommended for all types of players, especially those who appreciate rooms made with heart and storytelling in mind.
