The Lost Treasure Of Alexander Von Humboldt

The Lost Treasure Of Alexander Von Humboldt

The Room

  • Escape room
  • IRL
The Lost Treasure Of Alexander von Humboldt is one of the two best rooms offered by The Room according to our evaluation. The introduction and the initial briefing were very well executed. The room design and thematic concept were consistently convincing. The puzzles were coherent and thoughtfully integrated into the overall concept. The game also incorporated various sensory elements in a deliberate and effective manner. Overall, the room is carefully designed and provides a highly enjoyable experience. The game master deserves special mention. He allowed us to play independently and did not provide a single hint. We can fully recommend this room without reservation.

I’ve played quite a few escape rooms by now, but none has made me drift into another reality from the moment I entered the location quite like this one. I honestly wondered whether this was really an escape room or something more. The whole experience began the moment I stepped inside and kept me captivated until the very end. The live act was incredible and made me immerse even deeper into the world. Since we only stayed for one day, we asked if it might be possible to play Metropolis 2099 in the morning — and a staff member kindly opened the room just for us. We definitely have to come back to play Lost, the last room we haven’t experienced yet from this amazing provider.

When we first entered the building, we thought, “Oh my god, what is this going to be like?” The entrance area of the building felt rather plain and a bit bare, and even the smell in the staircase was not particularly inviting at first. Because of that, we were initially a little skeptical. The actual reception area, however, was completely fine. It was rather small, but had everything necessary. The introduction already took place on our floor. Afterwards, we had to go one floor higher to reach the actual room. The staircase and transition area still felt somewhat plain and not very atmospheric. But after that, it was simply: wow. Tess’s acting performance was absolutely breathtaking. The introduction lasted quite a while and was not even part of the actual game time. Because of that, we were perfectly immersed and fully drawn into the atmosphere before the game had even started. The story was clearly inspired by Harry Potter, which was immediately recognizable. It was very well integrated into the overall experience and was elevated even further by the theatrical performance during the introduction. The room itself was designed with an incredible amount of attention to detail. Fun fact: the creators even included portraits of themselves inside the room. The variety of puzzles was impressive, and the atmosphere throughout the experience was fantastic. Overall, the room is exceptionally well designed. And if you get Tess as your game master, you are definitely in for an amazing experience.

The room is excellent from the very beginning. The effects are impressive. The game starts in a mysterious way and offers a well-crafted introduction. You feel transported into a magical world. It creates a dense, immersive atmosphere. You fully dive into the setting and are actively woven into the story. The puzzles work well for two people. Tasks can be sensibly divided up. The room design is implemented in a truly special way. We do not want to share details to avoid spoilers. Overall, it is a great experience in an outstanding setting. For Harry Potter fans, it is a must. We can definitely recommend the room. Note: It is not a puzzle-heavy room, but is more focused on the magical experience.

We played the room today. The introduction by the gamemaster Sophie was excellent right from the start. After that, you immediately understand why they recommend going to the restroom beforehand. By the way, there are also paid toilets at the train station for a small fee. The introduction and the atmosphere work from the very first second. It is important to know that the introduction is not counted as part of the actual game time. If you include the introduction, which is fully integrated into the setting, the whole experience lasts around 70 minutes. We really liked the room and had a lot of fun. The puzzles were well designed and nicely varied.

We also really enjoyed this room from this provider. Our game master Vanessa introduced us to the game very well. Everything also ran smoothly during the game. As with the other rooms from this provider, the experience begins before the actual game starts. You should go to the bathroom beforehand so you don’t interrupt the setting. There is a restroom at the train station for a small fee. The actual game time only begins once you enter the room. Everything before that is already part of the story. This part was exciting and also quite humorous in some moments. Anyone who has already played the other Brandon Darkmoor case at The Room Berlin will quickly notice that the rooms are hardly comparable. The only constant is Brandon Darkmoor with his charm. The room has a dark setting. The puzzles fit the theme well and were a lot of fun. The only problem is that I am apparently cursed now. Otherwise, it was a great experience.

Frankenstein is overall a very well-designed room. The scare factor is clearly noticeable and significantly enhances the atmosphere. The introduction follows the provider’s usual concept and is structured and immersive. Anyone who wants to be fully engaged in the story from the beginning should read the second email carefully in advance. The central element is a manuscript that is introduced into the storyline by the librarian. Upon entering the room, the dark atmosphere is immediately perceptible. The setting is convincing due to its detailed design and consistent thematic implementation. Two puzzles, however, deserve critical consideration. The underlying task was understandable, yet the solution could not be successfully completed for certain reasons. One of these puzzles appears to cause difficulties more frequently. This led to noticeable frustration within the group. Apart from these two weaknesses, the room is overall very well designed and provides a coherent and enjoyable experience.
