About the escape room
It knocks, it throbs, it calls for you. And before you know it, you've broken into the old villa, which has been abandoned on the outskirts of town for years. You follow the eerie noises to the attic of the old house and then - silence. In front of you is a mysterious game. It entraps you and you begin to play. But already after the first move, you realize that this is no ordinary game, but a very dangerous one. It takes you on a magical journey - and if you don't finish the game in time, this journey will be your last. Trembling, you dare to make the next move...

Overview of artificial intelligence
AIMost praise the dense atmosphere, exceptional set design, and strong story flow with audio elements. The puzzles are logical and fair, leaning easy to medium and well embedded in the narrative. Game masters are frequently lauded for fitting intros, humor, and good timing; the intensity of the horror can be adjusted. Minor critiques include some tight spaces, occasional tech delays, and an intro that isn’t always bilingual.
WeaknessesFor pros, some puzzles feel too easy or familiar in the style of other Hidden rooms. In larger groups it quickly gets cramped; from five people on, some areas feel crowded. Some triggers fired late, and the introduction was at times only in German.
StrengthsFantastic sets and effects that feel like a film and carry the story. A cool board-game motif runs through the rooms and delivers surprise moments. Very friendly, committed staff and a smooth game flow.
SecurityThere are dark passages and surprising live events, but the team observes and briefs solidly. The intensity can be adjusted, and there are no reports of real safety issues.
Level of fearReal horror feel with jump scares, darkness, and tension; for some it was really intense. If you’re sensitive or coming with kids, you can have the intensity dialed down in advance.
Actors' gameGame masters interact charmingly, sometimes in character, and deliver hints in-world. Live moments and brief acting bits spark screams, laughs, and strong immersion.
Quality of riddlesMostly logical, fair, and nicely woven into the story, with few to no number locks. Difficulty is more easy to medium; the appeal comes largely from events and atmosphere. In a few spots the flow wasn’t immediately clear, e.g., at the start of the “goose game.”
PlotYou end up in an abandoned villa and are drawn by a mysterious board game into a dangerous, supernatural journey. If you don’t finish the game in time, the journey ends permanently—the story unfolds cinematically across rooms and audio.
Difficulty levelIdeal for beginners and mixed groups; enthusiasts will enjoy the show and atmosphere more than puzzle toughness. Most comfortable with two to four; larger groups feel cramped more quickly.
