A very good escape room where the ambience makes you feel like you're not alone in the room. It is not very scary, but you might be on edge during a good part of the game. The décor was once again sublime, and the riddles were very fun and fitting in the theme.

Production design is incredible, puzzles were challenging and the twists and turns are phenomenal. Games in both English in German make this accessible to locals and tourists. Cannot recommend enough!

I play-tested the old version 1 of The Beast back in around 2014. „The Beast of Berlin“ immersed the players into a detailed and accurate setting with interesting puzzles that move the players through a thrilling adventure

Wir haben diesen Raum zu viert gespielt. Super Design des Raumes, sehr stimmig zum Thema. Wir hatten sehr viel Spaß - in unserer Runde war es unser 1. gemeinsames Spiel und das hat super funktioniert. Haider war ein toller Gamemaster - so waren wir auch super eingestimmt auf den Raum. Die Rätsel waren gut und zum Ende gab es eines, welches auch für uns neu war. Wir waren jedenfalls sehr gut unterhalten.

"Beast of Berlin" tells the story of a murderer, and we, as players, need to catch him. It's a concept that has been used in many escape rooms before, but "The Room" has absolutely convinced me. The puzzles were difficult (in my opinion, the hardest room from "The Room - Berlin"), and I loved them. There were so many moments of "Wait, does that really work?" or "Haha, it was really back there!" The room was extremely satisfying, though challenging. The sound design stood out positively to me, I was really afraid at one point (even though the room had no actors!). This effect was achieved through perfect lighting, sound, and object placement, and I am thrilled. The game masters were, as always, fantastic! 10/10 must play.

Beast of Berlin is a more classic room in the best sense of the word. Although I wouldn't describe it as a horror room, a very exciting atmosphere is built up here as the game progresses. A really great experience.

8/10 The narrative of this room follows you through out in the most perfect way. Beautiful antiques, set pieces, and realistic props all add to the incredible production. The puzzles can fall flat in some places but overall the flow of this room is spot on. The hair on your arms will stand up from the creepy atmosphere as you brave your way through this game.

Our 5th stop in our Escape Tour Germany 2024. The Beast of Berlin may be the oldest experience from The Room, but it still delivers a fantastic experience, especially after its 2020 renovation. The atmosphere is top-notch, with superb sound design that truly immerses you in the setting. The level of realism in the room was a pleasant surprise, adding to the overall authenticity of the experience. A well-balanced and engaging room, suitable for all players—whether you’re new to escape rooms or a seasoned enthusiast. Definitely worth playing!
