About the escape room

East against West against East - it's the Cold War in 80s Germany. Your request to emigrate to the "Golden West" has been rejected and it will soon become very uncomfortable for you. But surprisingly, you received a tip from a secret source: there is a way to the West - you just have to find it. A bizarre time journey in a cult-nostalgic not only GDR setting awaits you - and this with a big wink.

Overview of artificial intelligence

AIThe decor and 80s vibe get repeated praise, especially the GDR vs. West contrast. The hint system is smartly woven into the theme and triggers grins rather than breaks. Puzzles are logical and fair, overall on the easy-to-medium side but search-heavy. You can tell it’s The Room’s oldest room, yet it feels surprisingly fresh.
WeaknessesThe searching can frustrate, especially in small teams or for seasoned players. Overall lighter and less spectacular than newer rooms, with the age peeking through in spots.
StrengthsGreat immersion with lots of nostalgic details and sound, plus a few nice twists. Very smooth game flow and a finale that oozes 80s charm.
SecurityClear briefing and attentive supervision; small technical hiccups were fixed quickly. No risky elements—normal caution and thorough searching are enough.
Level of fearNot scary, no horror elements. Family- and kid-friendly, also well-suited for first-timers.
Actors' gameGame masters are described as super friendly and attentive, with a creative, clear briefing. Little acting during the game itself, but a charming, story-embedded hint system.
Quality of riddlesPuzzles are mostly analog, logical, and well embedded in the theme, with a few original ideas. The difficulty is moderate, the flow works, but there are sections with intensive searching. Fairly designed, no nerd knowledge required.
PlotYou’re trying to escape from the 1980s GDR to the West—simply told but cohesive and effective. The thematic shift creates aha moments without spoiling.
Difficulty levelEasy to medium, making it ideal for beginners, families, and mixed groups. Experienced teams will move through quickly but may get hung up on the search load.

You can tell the room is older, but it has aged beautifully. With just the two of us, we sometimes struggled with the searching; the game master emphasizes at the start to search thoroughly. The atmosphere and set transport you straight to the '80s, and the clues delivered via radio ads are brilliantly integrated. I found it very fun, even though my teammate prefers more puzzle-heavy games.

Played with two teens and no one was idle. Everything felt logical; the ending was delightfully 80s. Just the right dose of puzzling without frustration.

If you want to play all the rooms, start with this one. It’s the most basic of The Room, but definitely good, with solid puzzles, not too difficult, and a nice ending.

Great atmosphere, excellent support and a very smooth flow. Personally a bit too much searching for my taste, but the theme made up for it. Still a really good room.
