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.
