Der Henker [The Executioner]

Probably really nice room in the past, but not worth it anymore. Clues are given by walkie talkie on demand. We needed to ask 3x after spending more then 15min on a puzzle. They were not Able to help correctly. Another puzzle was skipped entiterly, staff did not understand that that was possible at first but then said it was just a decoy. They told us that the owner is changing so much that nobody really understands the room anymore and that everything results in chaos (we saw 3 different GM in 1 game…). So I would advice to skip this one.

Franchise room. But very well built better than other instances of this room. Enjoyable.

"Der Henker" at Escape Stories in Elberfeld, Wuppertal, offers an immersive and engaging escape room experience. Set in the year 1396, the game places you in a dark, damp dungeon where you must solve puzzles to escape before the executioner arrives. The atmosphere is highly immersive, with authentic medieval settings that create a tense and realistic experience. The puzzles are well-integrated into the storyline, adding to the overall sense of urgency and danger. The presence of live actors enhances the experience, making it feel more like a live-action role-play scenario. While the thematic elements and set design are top-notch, some might find the puzzles not overly challenging. Additionally, the game requires physical activities such as crawling and climbing, which might not be suitable for everyone. Overall, "Der Henker" is ideal for those who enjoy historical themes and immersive environments, providing a solid mix of suspense and puzzle-solving. It's particularly great for groups looking for an engaging and atmospheric adventure in a medieval dungeon setting.
