About the escape room

During renovation work in the basement, an unknown door was uncovered. The first investigation team has not returned and it is unclear what happened there. Screams and muffled noises could still be heard, nothing more. Can you clarify what happened there? The question is rather: Do you dare?

AI
Brief assessment
from Navigator AI
Brutally scary and immensely atmospheric: The Poltergeist thrives on effects, sound, and clever guidance through the space. If you’re after adrenaline rather than a combination-lock fireworks show, you’re in exactly the right place.

Overview of artificial intelligence

AIReviews emphasize a dense, eerie atmosphere and real jump scares, with disorientation at times used as a feature. The puzzles are more intuitive and not the centerpiece, but everything fits the setting well. Acting and game mastering are often praised, though interaction is at times intentionally reduced. Minor critiques include an abrupt start/finale and groups that are too large.
WeaknessesWith six people, not everyone feels equally involved; 3–4 players seem ideal. The start and end can feel abrupt, and in places the set dressing is rather rough. The story sometimes slips into the background due to the high scare factor.
StrengthsAtmosphere, lighting and sound design, and effects are convincing across the board. The game master and actress contribute strongly to immersion.
SecurityThe briefing is friendly and clear, and the game master keeps an overview. No data on physical requirements; room flow is sensibly controlled via doors.
Level of fearVery scary and nerve-wracking, not for the faint-hearted. Unsuitable for children, a feast for horror fans.
Actors' gameThe actress is repeatedly praised as strong and well-dosed, without overloading it with constant interaction. The game master guides the experience in a friendly, safe, and atmospheric way.
Quality of riddlesThe tasks are fair, logical, and easy to digest in the flow, leaning more toward easy to medium. Hints are rarely needed because much is intuitively embedded in the environment. The focus is clearly on immersion and shock moments rather than puzzle battles.
PlotA hidden door and a missing team were discovered in the basement; you unravel the mystery surrounding the apparition. The red thread is there and leads to a punchy finale, even if the start and finish can feel brief.
Difficulty levelEasy to medium; experienced teams move through quickly. Doable for beginners, provided you can handle the fear.

Insane atmosphere, I’ve rarely been so scared and had so much fun at the same time. The puzzles are okay, but the room clearly thrives on its atmosphere, carried by excellent game mastering and a fantastic actress. An absolute recommendation for anyone who loves horror.

Intense scares, great timing, and a superb actress—I was constantly torn between laughing and screaming. Sound, lighting, little surprises—everything meshes together. A must-see for horror fans.

My favorite horror experience there. The actors and gamemaster did a perfect job; the atmosphere was constantly menacing and the puzzles were appropriately set.

Puzzles are fair and neatly integrated, but the show is the real scare. You briefly lose your bearings, and that’s exactly what makes it fun. For me, one of the top horror rooms in the city.

Awesome — even I felt really intimidated at times. The set is impressive, the fear ramps up quickly. The difficulty is on the easier side, but the intensity is what makes it.
