About the escape room

Ever since the peculiar and eerie neighbor Gertrude Tappendiek moved in, nothing has been the same. During the day, whimpering noises and rotten smells penetrate from her apartment, and at night, pets in the neighborhood disappear. What's happening here? What's up with the talk of occult rites and sacrifices? You want to get to the bottom of it. You know that Gertrude Tappendiek always leaves the house at the same time and returns exactly one hour later. You manage to gain access to her apartment, but suddenly the door slams shut and cannot be opened. Can you find a way out to avoid becoming a victim yourself?

Overview of artificial intelligence

AIGuests praise Mo for the warm introduction and spot-on guidance. The puzzles feel logical, detailed, and deliver a smooth flow with surprising moments. The atmosphere ranges from tense to uncanny, and the fun factor is very high. For two players, timing can be tight.
WeaknessesAs a duo it’s tight and you may feel the time pressure. The scare factor isn’t for very sensitive players. Otherwise, hardly any criticisms were mentioned.
StrengthsStrong atmosphere and a coherent storyline that pulls you in immediately. Thoughtful, varied puzzles and a lovingly crafted room. Very dedicated support from Mo.
SecurityThe briefing is clear and reassuring; you feel well looked after. Help arrives in time if you’re stuck.
Level of fearTense to scary, at times nerve-racking. Better suited to teenagers and adults; too intense for small children.
Actors' gameMo is repeatedly praised for the friendly briefing and confident guidance. Hints are measured and supportive without breaking immersion.
Quality of riddlesThe tasks are logical, varied, and partly challenging, with solid aha moments. Fairly structured so teamwork keeps you moving; tougher as a duo, smoother in groups.
PlotYou break into the apartment of the strange neighbour Gertrude Tappendiek and find clues around occult rumours. One hour to uncover the secret and get out in one piece—no spoilers.
Difficulty levelMedium to hard, ideal for 3–4 people. Beginners can manage with hints; two-person teams should expect pressure.

Called on short notice and got a very friendly confirmation. Great briefing, a lovingly detailed room, and exciting, sometimes quite tricky puzzles with surprising moments. The two of us just missed finishing within 60 minutes, but it was still a huge amount of fun.

Amazing atmosphere and great flow! Mo greeted us warmly and gave us hints exactly when we got stuck. The puzzles are logical, with a few really tricky ones. Going as a group of four was perfect. Strong recommendation!

Creepy but not over the top—exactly my thing. Sound, lighting, and puzzles mesh nicely. Mo guided us wonderfully, never gave away too much. We got out just before the end and were happy.

Great set design and a cohesive story. With two people it was quite challenging, and the clock is ticking loudly. Still fair and consistent; only one puzzle really cost us time. I’d gladly go again with a larger team.

Visited Strange Neighbor yesterday and immediately agreed: one of the best rooms so far. Thanks to Mo's briefing, we were into it right away; the puzzles are clever and the room is full of great surprises. Thanks for the fantastic evening!
