About the escape room
10:00 PM: The boarders have gone to sleep as scheduled after dinner. The only light still on is in the principal's office, working hard to prepare for the next day. 11:00 PM: The tragic cries of the young students shattered the absolute silence as the flames swallowed everything around them, burning and leaving sad remnants behind.... 35 years later: You are the only survivors of that tragic night, returning to the remnants of what you once called "your school," to find out what really happened and forever marked you... But nothing is the same as before...

Overview of artificial intelligence
AIAtmosphere and acting earn repeated praise, especially toward the finale. The puzzles are seen as fair and varied, mostly mid-level. Criticism targets small inconsistencies like the uneven hint system, occasionally fluctuating set quality, and for some too few hide-and-seek or chase moments. Overall a clear recommendation, though the German version is described as less multi-layered and the ending less impactful than the Athens original.
WeaknessesHint system feels inconsistent in places. Set quality swings between very strong and just okay. Compared to the Athens version, it lacks multilayering and a truly sweeping final image; some also want more “Hide-and-Seek” moments.
StrengthsVery coherent setting with well-executed horror elements and a well-told story. The actors carry the tension; the finale sticks. Puzzles are understandable and fun.
SecurityGame mastering is considered attentive and helps with hints, even if the system doesn’t always feel smooth. No reports of risky elements or excessive physical involvement.
Level of fearFear level medium to high, with jump scares and tension, but manageable for many. Not really suitable for children; horror fans get their money’s worth.
Actors' gameThe performers deliver, keep pressure and immersion high, and ramp up again toward the end. Interaction is present and supports the story without feeling cheap.
Quality of riddlesThere are real puzzles instead of pure searching, mostly fair, logical, and nicely mixed, occasionally with a bit of lateral thinking. Difficulty is rather medium; no big multi-step buildup. Overall consistent with the story.
PlotYou return as survivors to the burned-out boarding school and piece together the night. The plot is easy to follow and unfolds during the game without unnecessary confusion.
Difficulty levelMedium. Newcomers get through well with hints; experienced players find enough to chew on without it becoming trivial.
