About the escape room

In a dark forest you see a few rooftops in the distance. The silence is almost eerie. Suddenly a strange building stands in front of you - an abandoned orphanage. The people from the next village say that the caretaker of the house played a nasty game with dark forces. The prospect of immortality made him sell innocent children's souls. He never regretted it - but you? ... because did you make the right decision to set foot in this house? You have to find out for yourself.

Insanely detailed and very creepy, with crisp puzzles. For us, one of the favorites—visually top-notch and rather hard; it took 58 minutes.

Strong atmosphere and clever puzzles, but at times really very dark. The entrance hall could use a bit more mood-setting; otherwise, a top experience.

First time doing an escape room for me, and a direct hit: semi-darkness, goosebumps, puzzles partly intuitive and partly tricky. Hints in just the right amount; only the entrance hall could use a bit more decor to set the mood.

What a blast! There were five of us, and the effects and sound really got us - I've rarely screamed so much and laughed at the same time. Super friendly team; we felt extremely well taken care of.

Started as a group of six: initially accessible, then increasingly challenging and truly demanding. Good puzzles, a coherent story, and friendly staff — a clear recommendation.

Six of us were in the Orphanage and escaped just in the nick of time—there was everything from fun to fright. We liked it so much that we went straight on to the Haunted House. Team and rooms: an absolute recommendation.

We played two rooms back-to-back; the orphanage is the creepier and more challenging choice. The staff member was relaxed, explained things well, and the recommendation was worth it.

We did two rooms back to back; the orphanage was clearly the tougher and creepier one. The game master was laid-back and precise with the hints. Exactly my thing.
