Overview of artificial intelligence

AIGuest feedback praises the well-designed, hands-on puzzles and the friendly hosting. The room is on the smaller side; three feels perfect, more than four can feel cramped. The monitor-based hint system is helpful, though thematically not for everyone, and hints sometimes arrived a bit early. Overall, a beginner-friendly room with high fun factor and solid tension.
WeaknessesMany solutions end at combination locks, which some may find repetitive. The monitor system feels a bit modern for the 1920s setting, and hints occasionally came too early. The room is compact and fills up quickly with large groups.
StrengthsPuzzles are logical, varied, and well integrated into the environment. Hosting is warm, briefing clear, booking flexible. Atmosphere and tactility create a pleasant investigator feel.
SecurityBriefing feels professional and clear; staff remain attentive throughout. Hints come via a monitor that runs reliably.
Level of fearNot scary—more adventure and investigation vibes. Well suited to sensitive or younger players, provided they enjoy puzzles.
Actors' gameNo live actors; interaction is via the gamemaster, who is described as attentive and friendly.
Quality of riddlesTasks are fair, logical, and satisfyingly tactile, with clever paths to the numbers. There’s a noticeable focus on combination locks, yet the routes to them stay varied. Hints support without outright spoiling.
PlotIn 1920 Cairo, you search a shady art dealer’s office to track down a missing artifact. Secure the lead and slip away before he returns—no further spoilers.
Difficulty levelMore easy to medium—great for beginners and still brisk for mixed groups. Three players feels balanced; experienced teams progress quickly.

Pleasant atmosphere and a solid story, but the room is really small. It was fine with four people; I wouldn’t recommend more. A few too many combination locks, but it still felt cohesive.

We played Artefacts as a team of three and were really impressed. Well put together, the puzzles are fun and the way you derive the numbers is clever. Yes, there are a lot of combination locks at the end, but it’s handled well. With three, it felt ideal.

Booked spontaneously, received a very friendly welcome. The help via the monitor was practical but slightly broke the 1920s illusion, and one hint came a bit early. All in all, a well-rounded, entertaining room.

Our first escape room, so we chose the beginner room. It was really fun and at times quite tricky. We asked for a hint twice; otherwise we figured things out ourselves, and in the end we made it just in time.
