About the escape room

The forest looks dark and eerie. The last rooftops of the town are still visible in the distance—but absolute silence prevails. No one would hear or search for you here. Before you stands a strange building, it seems to be the abandoned orphanage. People say that the then caretaker started playing with evil forces. The promise of becoming immortal made him forget all scruples. And so he sold the innocent souls of the children. He himself has never regretted it—but maybe you will now… because was it really the right decision to carelessly step over the threshold? All the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, you surely don’t have much time to escape your fate!

Overview of artificial intelligence

AIMost praise the extremely dense setting, sound and lighting effects, and the feeling of truly standing in the abandoned orphanage. The puzzles are rated medium to challenging, fewer in number but varied and cleanly integrated. Game masters are described as friendly and helpful without being pushy. Recurring gripes are the tedious search for parking and an occasional side room that feels a bit bare.
WeaknessesParking around the venue can be a pain and being late is stressful. There are fewer puzzles, but high-quality ones — puzzle hunters may want more to chew on. Some side areas feel plain compared to the rest.
StrengthsAtmosphere and set design are outstanding, the story clearly carries you through the game. Sound and lighting give you goosebumps, immersion is well above average. The game masters are relaxed, attentive, and offer good hints on request.
SecurityNo live interactions; instead, clear supervision by the game master and remote hints. Reviews mention no safety issues; the tension is purely atmospheric.
Level of fearVery creepy and at times genuinely scary, but without live actors and without cheap shock moments. Probably too intense for sensitive kids, just right for teens and adults in the mood for a fright.
Actors' gameThere are no actors in the room; tension comes from atmosphere and tech. The game master watches closely and offers discreet help when you get stuck.
Quality of riddlesThe tasks feel well thought-out, varied, and fair, with satisfying what-just-happened moments. Fewer locks, more mechanics and logic, including a light-based element. Doable within time, with occasional hints.
PlotYou explore a cursed orphanage and must uncover the dark story before the place won’t let you leave. The plot is present and ties rooms and tasks together organically, without spoilers.
Difficulty levelOverall medium to demanding, with noticeable but fair time pressure. Newcomers make it with a few tips; experienced teams feel pleasantly challenged.

I've played around 20 escape rooms in various cities and only recently discovered EscapeGame Munich. The design here is insanely good, and the story really draws you in. Instead of endless combination locks, there are well-thought-out, varied puzzles. Highly recommended.

I’ve now done two rooms here — including “Verlassenes Waisenhaus” and “In der Misere” — and was thrilled every time. I love the venue, the atmosphere, and the laid-back game masters. Definitely coming back.

The atmosphere fits, but a side room felt empty and we got through faster than expected. For hardcore puzzle-solvers there’s a bit too little to chew on, but it’s surely good for horror fans.

Our very first escape room ever. At the start we got a bit stuck on the first puzzle, then we found our flow and finished the finale five minutes before time was up. The decor and atmosphere were really good. We're hooked and will be back.
