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.

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.

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.

The escape room gave us great pleasure. The gamemaster was also the managing director, whose strong passion for the subject was immediately evident. This became clear from the very beginning. The welcome and the introduction to the room were delivered with great expressiveness and emotional depth, which immediately created a strong sense of motivation and suspense. Both the storyline and the room itself were highly convincing. The exceptional setting deserves special mention, as it clearly reflects the high level of care taken in its design. The room demonstrates a well-thought-out concept and a remarkable attention to detail. In addition, it was explained that the room is continuously being further developed, which further underlines its high quality standards.

We played this escape room with two people, although a minimum of four players was stated. In advance, I asked whether this minimum number was strictly necessary to solve the puzzles successfully or whether it served other purposes. We were informed that this depends on the specific room. In general, all rooms are playable with two people. However, some puzzles require a higher number of players to be solved without assistance. In such cases, support from the game master is possible, but it is deliberately not recommended in order to avoid diminishing the overall experience. It should be noted that we are very experienced players and regularly participate in escape rooms. For the room The Secret Elixir, two players are sufficient. All puzzles can be solved independently with this group size. The room is therefore very well suited for smaller groups. Particularly noteworthy is the fact that the team opened especially for us at 9:30 a.m. This gesture struck us as exceptionally customer-friendly. The location itself is convincing from the very beginning. Several puzzles are integrated into the waiting area, revealing small secrets when solved. This creates a high level of entertainment even before the actual game begins. The room itself perfectly completed the experience. The design is highly detailed, and the attention to detail is immediately apparent. Although the theme references Jägermeister, alcohol consumption is not glorified. As a result, the room is also well suited for younger players. Overall, it was a very successful visit. In retrospect, we were glad that we had booked two escape rooms with this provider for the same day.
