About the escape room

Once there was a puppeteer who traveled the lands with moderate success. He could barely stay afloat until he met a talking wooden puppet. He was able to convince it to perform with him and thus achieved unexpected fame. One morning, he woke up and the wooden puppet, along with all the earnings, had disappeared. The desperate puppeteer then tried to carve a talking puppet himself, but all efforts seemed in vain. Then, the once so friendly puppeteer hatched a cruel plan - from now on real people were to be the material for his puppet show instead of lifeless wood. So, he settled in Berlin, his last performance location, to look for suitable victims. And the first group of spectators who entered the puppeteer's theater were never seen again...

Brief assessment

from Navigator AI

Dark fairy tale with lots of atmosphere, a meticulously detailed set, and clever, partly lock-free puzzles. If you value cohesive design and an engaged game master, this is the right place.

Overview of artificial intelligence

AIHighlighted are the cohesive design, the original story, and a very friendly team. The puzzles are considered creative and fair, partly linear and with well-dosed hints. Experienced players find the room at times short or too easy, others more demanding. The first area is tighter and darker; later, variety and effects ramp up.

WeaknessesFor frequent players, the flow can feel too linear and a bit short. The start is somewhat cramped and dark; video elements require concentration.

StrengthsStrong atmosphere with beautiful effects and lots of attention to detail. Very attentive, likable game master with a fitting introduction to the story.

SecurityNo safety issues mentioned; the briefing feels professional and the hosting approachable. The tightness and lighting in the first room could briefly challenge more sensitive players.

Level of fearMore atmospheric-eerie than brutal, with no signs of strong jump scares. There’s no reliable info for children; due to the theme, better suited to teenagers and adults.

Actors' gameThe game master appears in tune with the story and remains friendly at all times. Hints arrive right on time, without breaking the flow.

Quality of riddlesMany tasks feel fresh, fair, with nice aha moments; partly without classic combination locks. The flow is rather linear and guides you safely through the narrative. Video and observation elements demand attention.

PlotYou must escape a puppeteer who wants to turn people into living marionettes. The story is self-contained and atmospheric, to some a bit offbeat.

Difficulty levelOverall medium and dependent on experience and team size. Beginners and slightly advanced players are well occupied; pros sometimes get through faster.

I liked the team and the passion you can feel. The decor was top-notch; the puzzles were good, if not groundbreaking—still had a lot of fun.

Incredibly cohesive set with great effects, hardly any locks, and lots of smart mechanics. Had us completely hooked.

Straightforward, linear room; overall pleasant, but nothing outstanding. For experienced players it's a bit too easy and short, though the props are good.

You can tell how much love went into the build. No combination locks, but strong effects — we really liked it.
