About the escape room

Nikola Tesla died in 1943 in room 3327 of the famous "New Yorker" Hotel. After his death, you received a letter from Tesla. In the letter, he urgently asks you to come to his hotel room. Before the FBI arrives, Tesla wanted you to reveal his last invention to share it with humanity. When you arrive in the room, the FBI is already on the way. You have 60 minutes before the FBI is at the door to arrest you. If you fail, humanity will lose one of the most important revelations in its history.

We are big escape-room fans and have played many rooms worldwide; Tesla’s Mystery was our first together in Munich. Fun, with some puzzles you don’t see everywhere, and a strong atmosphere that transports you somewhere else for an hour. The service was excellent. Overall 8/10, customer service 10/10, interior 8/10, difficulty medium.

We played Tesla’s Mystery as a group of four: beautifully designed and crafted with great attention to detail. I especially enjoyed the story with its technical background. Very friendly staff — a clear recommendation for Fox in a Box Munich.

Very well-rounded experience with fair, easy-to-follow puzzles. The difficulty is more on the medium side, so it’s not ultra-challenging for pros, but it flows nicely. Hosting/support is top-notch, the atmosphere feels cohesive. One or two more big aha moments would have made it five stars for me.

Just right for our team evening: exciting but never stressful or scary. The Tesla theme is nicely executed, and the story carries you well through the hour. The game master was warm and on point. Clear recommendation.
