About the escape room

As visitors to the famous museum ship in the Port of Hamburg, you explore a secret room on board that was discovered during the most recent restoration. As you enter the room, you notice this strange whispering. The sea god Neptune is calling for you. He demands his trident, which was stolen by the captain of the RICKMERS a long time ago. The door locks, you're trapped, and Neptune has you in his grip. Fulfill his wish or Neptune will drag you along with the RICKMERS to the bottom of the Elbe...

Overview of artificial intelligence

AIOften praised are the authentic ship setting and the use of multiple decks, which noticeably boosts immersion. The puzzles are mostly moderate, very tactile, and involve everyone, sometimes time-consuming. Recurring criticism concerns occasional tech failures and sometimes sluggish hint delivery. Language usually works in German/English; in the past some translations were missing, which made the story harder to follow.
WeaknessesSome tasks drag once the principle is understood and feel more like patience than puzzling. Incidents with broken props or indicator lights occurred, as did sometimes late reactions from the gamemaster. Space is rather tight; smaller groups have a more comfortable time.
StrengthsAtmosphere and set design are outstanding and capture the Neptune theme on the real ship coherently. The pathing over multiple levels creates flow, surprises, and a few genuine wow moments.
SecurityNo safety issues were mentioned; briefing and supervision are provided. Keep the multiple levels and narrow corridors in mind if you avoid tight spaces.
Level of fearNot a horror scenario, more adventure pressure with ocean flair. Very doable for families and sensitive players; jump scares are rare.
Actors' gameNo live actors in the room; guidance runs via the gamemaster. Support is mostly described as friendly, with occasional late responses.
Quality of riddlesLots of tactile, logically fair puzzles nicely integrated into the ship; teamwork is often required and fun. Some tasks take longer and test coordination and patience. Overall solid to very clever, with a few inclusive highlights for all players.
PlotYou're hunting Neptune's trident aboard the RICKMERS before the curse strikes. The story stays consistent and guides you through the ship's belly without unnecessary frills.
Difficulty levelMedium difficulty with a clear team focus; beginners manage well with hints, advanced players enjoy the setting and effects. It feels most balanced with 3–5 people, four is often cited as ideal.

An escape room on a ship about a greedy captain — you can hardly ask for a better setting. Theme and puzzles match perfectly; some tasks simply take time and force teamwork. Unfortunately, a few effects didn’t work, and we had to wait for the GM. Otherwise, a very lovingly designed room.

A very cool, relatively realistic experience on a real metal ship in a Neptune pirate style. Logical room layout; you work your way deeper inside, and the puzzles are moderate so everyone stays engaged. The tasks fit neatly into the story—very cohesive and absolutely recommended.

Great set design and lots of fun to play. The puzzles aren’t difficult but involve the whole group, and the story fits the ship theme really well. Our game master was friendly. It’s most comfortable with four people, as the rooms are rather small.

We went with two teens and had a ton of fun. Not horror, but plenty of story-driven pressure, plus lots of hands-on puzzles—it worked great for everyone.

Played with six people and absolutely thrilled: immersive rooms, impressive effects, and a well-thought-out game with lots of attention to detail. Thanks to the team — we’ll be back.
