We were there with our department and had a really good time. The flow was smooth, the game host was attentive; only the difficulty could have been a bit higher for us as experienced players.

As part of our company event, we played Onkel Ernst and were thrilled. The room is very beautiful, with lots of attention to detail, and solving puzzles together here is really fun. Clear recommendation; the other rooms are already on our list.

Overall very well-rounded; only in two spots there was a bit too much searching for small items for my taste. Still fair and fun, a clear recommendation for groups.
