About the escape room

The Cold War. The Soviet Union confronts the United States, and both powers leave no stone unturned to outdo the other. In these times of mistrust, the value of one commodity has risen inestimably: information. And that's your business. For you, it doesn't matter which side follows which ideology, but who is willing to pay the most. As spies, you have made it your mission to exploit the unclear circumstances, to secure important state secrets for yourselves, and to sell them to the highest bidder. You wait for the twilight to gain access to the building, hoping to kill two birds with one stone.

Overview of artificial intelligence

AIMost praise the authentic design and dense Cold War mood. The puzzles are described as varied, fair, and medium-tricky, with few red herrings and hardly any lock overkill. The gamemaster is considered very attentive; hints come on request and without time penalty. Occasionally there’s criticism of value for money or that there’s no debrief at the end.
WeaknessesAt times it feels a bit easy for larger groups, and some miss a debrief at the end. A few players found the value for money not optimal and mention a couple of red herrings.
StrengthsVery lovingly built with fitting props, multiple rooms, and a tangible story. Varied, logical puzzles and good game flow make it fun for small teams.
SecuritySupervision feels attentive and reachable; reviews mention no safety issues. A standard briefing and well-maintained equipment are implicitly confirmed.
Level of fearNot scary, more suspenseful. Kids had fun, so family-friendly.
Actors' gameThe gamemaster gets frequent praise: friendly, present, and gives pinpoint hints on request, without time penalties. No intense acting in-room, more solid moderation and support.
Quality of riddlesGood mix of logic, observation, and interaction, not lock-heavy. Mostly fairly solvable, with the odd red herring that hardly disrupts the flow. Multiple rooms and clear steps keep motivation high.
PlotYou break in at dusk as spies to steal secrets and sell them for a high price. The mission unfolds coherently, without major breaks, carrying the setting well to the end.
Difficulty levelOverall medium; doable for two to four. With very large groups it may feel easier.

Very nicely built and thematically fitting. One or two tasks were too obvious for me, and I would have liked a short debrief at the end. Still, a well-rounded experience.

Solid, but a bit too linear for me, and a few red herrings felt tacked on. Staff super friendly, overall okay.

We solved Checkpoint Charlie with four people in 52 minutes. It was entertaining throughout and really a lot of fun.
