Overview of artificial intelligence

AIMany praise the intense start and cohesive atmosphere that pulls you in right away. The gamemaster is described as friendly and attentive; hints arrive appropriately and the briefing is on point. Common criticisms: lots of locks, theme integration drops off after the intro; experienced players find it rather easy. Tech is mostly solid, with the odd mechanism snagging.

WeaknessesLater in the game, key and number locks dominate, pushing the story into the background. Occasional mechanical hiccups and too little bite for veterans were mentioned.

StrengthsImmersive intro, well-kept room, and an attentive on-site team. Puzzles are logical, fun, and can work fine without German if desired.

SecurityThere’s a clear briefing before the start, and you’re supported via a hint channel during the game. Room and tech feel well maintained, and everything can run in English on request.

Level of fearThe mood is oppressive and dark, but not extreme—more in-your-head than shock effects. Doable for teenagers and skittish adults; small children rather not.

Actors' gameThe gamemaster—Michael by name—is repeatedly praised for a clear briefing and pinpoint hints. Interaction is discreet but helpful when you need it.

Quality of riddlesThe puzzles are fair, mostly classic with keys and codes, with the occasional original spark. The logic fits, the flow stays smooth; only rarely does a mechanism hiccup.

PlotYou’ve been abducted by a serial killer and must escape his hideout. The story carries mainly at the beginning; later the puzzling takes center stage.

Difficulty levelPleasantly challenging to rather easy for newcomers; tends to be too simple for veterans. Plays best with a group of 3–4.

Michael briefed us very well and guided us through the game in English—very pleasant. The puzzles are logical, with no unfair sticking points, and teamwork is required. A clear recommendation for visitors to Berlin.

My first escape room; there were three of us in Maniac. The theme and setting are convincing, and the puzzles are challenging without being overwhelming. With a little help from the game master, we finished in time. Beforehand, there was a clear briefing and all questions were answered kindly.

I had never been to an escape room and was curious what awaited me. Exitroom totally delivered: from the very first moment I was completely immersed in the scene. Michael was a great game master. After Maniac, I’m keen to try the Crematorium room—and I didn’t need any German.

We had a really great time in this room. There are a few clever, well-crafted puzzles, even though one mechanism didn’t run smoothly for us. The atmosphere creates a pleasant sense of unease. Clear recommendation.

Horror atmosphere is top-notch, the props feel high-quality. After the strong start, however, there are a lot of combination locks. Still, we had a good hour of fun.
