Soup Du JourRock City EscapeEscape roomIRLWe played Soup du jour on our first escape trip and so it came with pretty tough competition, we very much enjoyed the room. The puzzles were plenty (not super tough though) and very well supported the story - and some of them were still quite unique we thought. Our GM with who we also had the chance to talk a little afterwards was also super welcoming and let us glimpse into some of the journey of the room - a thumbs up from us. ❤️ 5/6 exceptionally cool room - don’t miss it!
The Dark ForestHorror StoriesEscape roomIRLThe dark forest was our first horror room - and these aren’t for us - but that has nothing to do with the room itself. The set was great and how they worked with lighting (and lightning) as well as with the sounds was extremely good - only that would be sufficient to keep you on edge. At some point it would have been great to be more people but if you’re not overly sensitive and experienced the first 1-2 interactions I thought it was quite ok and I had the feeling that the actress had a very good feeling for the right level of - well horror. Puzzles are fairly easy but given that your adrenaline level is rather elevated that’s fair enough. We glad that we did it and if you wanna try a horror room or are fond of them: ❤️ 5/6 exceptionally cool room - don’t miss it!
Lost and FoundHotel Veloria [prev. Kamer 237]Escape roomIRLWe arrived early at the „hotel“ and what was super convenient is, that you can have a drink and some snacks at their bar. So come early and have a chat with the concierge. Lost & Found was also a super fun game - some puzzles were super original and well thought through supporting the storyline. The only thing that we’d loved to be a little more balanced was that we got hints although we were already were doing the right thing or for a puzzle pretty much in the end like 5 seconds after we first tried (wrong) although he said we still would have 10 min left. Still it didn’t take away from this great immersive game and we‘l definitely play their other games when we come back to this part of the Netherlands. ❤️ 5/6 exceptionally cool room - don’t miss it!
KURIOSUM - Artifact of DarknessEscape Room WittenEscape roomIRLKuriosum was definitely different. First of all you start right from entering into the game with your host/actor immerse you into the story and sister - was Norman’s play exceptional. He was superb taking every answer and got it into the play. And from the moment he leaves you, you got fully immersed into the story. The room is definitely neither puzzle heavy nor are they hard - this room is pretty much for the awe of set design, light, scent and special effects and that is totally fine for us. We played with 2 and thought it perfect as the rooms are not too big. ❤️ 6/6 just blew my mind
Tomb HunterFinest EscapeEscape roomIRLFinest escape did not disappoint with this room. From the impressive entry / foyer (where you’re greeted) to the room itself you see the effort that goes into the place. We’ve played this room as well as their other highlight room Holy Grave in 2 consecutive days and both days reception staff was super nice, having a chat about the place. The room itself is puzzle-wise on the easier side but I found them still quite nicely done and fitting for the story - and as they were many and you needed to get from one place to the other quite a lot so it still wouldn’t get boring (at least for two people). You need the basic ability to climb and crawl for short distances. Their use is lighting is immaculate and the main room quite a grand experience. If you’re in the area the room is a must. ❤️ 5/6 exceptionally cool room - don’t miss it!
Das Heilige GrabFinest EscapeEscape roomIRLI am not sure why you’d give this room a thumbs down but we were already blown upon entering. You can easily see why this room is a Terpeca newcomer and rightfully so. The puzzles are not on the hard side though I need to say even we got a hint when we got stuck but the clear fokus in this room is immersion. The story, even if a little tacky ;) was well executed throughout the play. ❤️ 5/6 exceptionally cool room - don’t miss it!
Isriket [Ice Kingdom]The Escape GamesEscape roomIRLYou can see that the room has been made with effort and although the puzzles are on the easier side they kept us entertained quite well and supported the theme nicely. Only one puzzle was so sensitive that it kept us forever although we knew the right answer straight away, hope they have a look at it. Otherwise creative and nicely done. Nothing crazy but we thought above average. The location is great and central and staff was super nice. 👍 4/6 above average room with nice quirks - go!
AI: Robot EvaThe Escape GamesEscape roomIRLWe found this room with a good continuation and a nice story - there was high tech elements as well as locks. Though the puzzles were more on the easier side, we found some of them pretty original to be honest or with a cool twist, so we rather enjoyed the game. We’d absolutely recommend it to play. And staff and atmosphere were super relaxed, so come here when you’re in Oslo. 👍 4/6 above average room with nice quirks - go!
Gefangen in der Gruft der Königin [Trapped in the Queen's Tomb]Countdown - KauferingEscape roomIRLThe set was really beautifully done and the puzzles we thought were entertaining (not too challenging though). You can definitely see the effort that has been put into the room. We had good fun and would definitely recommend the to play if you’re in the area. It was close to a 5 out of 6 but we’ve recently played some outstanding rooms and it wouldn’t give justice to them but it was a really good room. 👍 4/6 above average room with nice quirks - go!
Dolphin HotelEscape Game AugsburgEscape roomIRLWe found this to be a very solid escape room - more on the mechanical side - but plenty of puzzles so it kept us busy pretty much the whole hour with building up the tenseness from room to room. We enjoyed it. 👍 4/6 above average room with nice quirks - go!
Die Rüstung GottesVAons - AugsburgEscape roomIRLWe definitely enjoyed the game - the setting was nicely done and no keys and locks which makes the game more interesting to us. The story was thought through and the Game Master super nice.
Grand Budapest HotelScavenger Escape Room - SalzburgEscape roomIRLOverall we enjoyed the game. The atmosphere was bright and some of the puzzles nicely thought out, though some of them reacted slow which was a bit of a nuisance. Also the communication with the GM for hints did only really work from the first room as the microphone was there, so one person always had to go back if the hints given didn’t help etc We liked the deco though and the game flow was still no nice though strictly linear and I think with more than 2 / max 3 I wouldn’t recommend to play as probably someone gets bored. On a ⚖️ 1 to 6 = 3: its a standard escape room, no wow elements but nice deco and some good puzzles
Johanna, die weiße Frau von Kloster MoosenEscape Room DorfenEscape roomIRLWe enjoyed the game very much - stepping into the first room we didn’t expect a lot but the following set deserves a high rating. Set Design was done nicely and puzzles were fun. We had the feeling that some puzzles either reacted very slow or the GM had to release them, so it was sometimes a little confusing when you thought you solved a puzzle. But knowing you needed a little patience it didn’t bother us. We can recommend the room for beginners and a nice Escape for frequent players as well.
The Murder of Max Sinclair [prev. Case Closed]Case Closed EdinburghEscape roomIRLWe’ve not prepared ourselves for the room but in the end were fully convinced by the concept. The puzzles were clever and the interaction with the game master much of fun. Highlighting the staff, they were cheerful and you felt they played their roles with much joy. We had a really nice chat after the game as well. Plus they have a common room/bar where you can enjoy a drink before the play - definitely a plus when you arrive early as we did. We‘ll definitely try another of their rooms when we come back to Edinburgh.
Lost BusLiveActGamesEscape roomIRLPlaying on a real bus was definitely something different and was nicely done. We also liked the plot. We played in January and although it was really cold outside playing in a jacket and something on your head was perfectly fine as they provided heaters. I think it even added to the overall experience. I am not loving scary games but didn’t want to miss the special atmosphere - and this was totally fine for me.
La Chambre de Tante Hilda [Aunt Hilda's Room]Grand Trip Trap HotelEscape roomIRLIt’s a stunning game - what else is there to say. As soon as you are entering the 2nd room it’s pretty much a wow, not only about the grandeur that unfolds in front of you but also about the meticulous details that are part of each puzzle. We loved it and are looking forward to come back to the other Trip Trap games.
Die Wunderlampe [The Magic Lamp]EscapeGame KufsteinEscape roomIRLWe played with 2 in just under 40 minutes, so I’d definitely say it’s a good room for beginners or with kids, but we enjoyed it.
Birth MachineMad MachinesEscape roomIRLFrom the start it was great - beginning with us not being absolutely sure if the game had already started when stepping through the front door. There are puzzles in the room that left us laughing out loud and not sure if they were serious at the same time. Definitely different from everything we had experienced before. Do it if you have the chance. It’s a lot of fun! We’ll be back for the other 2 rooms first thing if/when are in Milan again.
Metropolis 2099Dream LabsEscape roomIRLWe did the game on our second day of the DreamLabs tour and I might say this was my favorite escape game I played so far. From an awe-inspiring set to a great storyline and some cool puzzles and some unexpected twists it was simply amazing. I felt fully immersed in the Bladerunner universe. My husband couldn’t come that time so we’ll go back and I’ll definitely play it again.
Die Legende vom herzlosen Piraten [The Tale of the Heartless Pirate]Dream LabsEscape roomIRLWe played the 2 DreamLabs games one weekend and this was the first I played and the opening sequence was so different from anything experienced so far it left me first confused and then utterly amazed at the same time. Though the kind of interaction is not my preferred style of escape room (no worries, nothing scary), the GM/actor was great and hilarious. Go there and play, it’s absolutely worth it.
