A letter from an old friend brings back memories of what happened 27 years ago. Memories of missing children, dark sewers and a clown. The closer you get to the source, the faster fear creeps under your skin. Can you face the fear and put an end to the nightmare?

Multiple things were broken, sadly, and the puzzles were all extremely easy, but overall a decent haunted escape experience. We finished with 30 minutes left on the clock, which made we wish we had more things to do in the end - we also missed a scare because a door opened which should've been locked. Very nice set and use of space

If you're going to do this experience just know that there are almoast no puzzles. Treat it rather as a hounted house, Its all about the set, acting and story. I ended up liking this experience quite a lot, maybe partly due to my low expectations.

For those who are not certain if they are prepared for horror rooms, this would be a good introduction as the game is spooky, as opposed to scary.

In my personal opinion—since I’ve played a lot of horror escape rooms—it was pretty tough for the two of us in our group.

very very easy room. not really logic, story made no real sense. it was not really as scary as I thought - we had more scary moments in rooms advertised only as "spooky" - it might be a good room for beginners, for advanced players athmosphere was not good enough to play this simple room

While I was really scared in the beginning, I got more relaxed with time, even though I still panicked a lot when the clown got somewhat near us. The riddles were pretty easy, which was fine though since scared brains can't focus that much. But we had a lot of fun and the atmosphere was great. Some rooms looked better than the others, but the vibe was great in all of them. In the end, we were glad that we got out alive, but we don't regret playing this room at all. Alea did an amazing job as the clown.

As big fans of the movies, this game was a must-play. The setting is truly unique. We also really enjoyed the acting. The puzzles were well-suited to the game, not too difficult, and the ending was truly cinematic. The only downside is that not everything from the previous game was properly reset, as we could already peek into rooms we weren’t supposed to see yet. Still, this game is a MUST-PLAY!

The "Es ist zurück!" escape room at The Code Agency in Düsseldorf is an incredibly immersive and thrilling experience. The room captures the eerie vibe of the "It" films without directly copying them, offering a unique take that still evokes the unsettling presence of creepy clowns. Despite having seen both films, I found new aspects to discover in the game, making it a fresh experience. The attention to detail in the room is remarkable, creating a consistently creepy atmosphere that keeps you on edge. The sense of being watched and followed by the clown is heightened by strategically placed hints and elements in the room, adding to the tension and immersion. The puzzles are well-integrated, and the overall experience is both entertaining and chilling. While the ending might feel a bit silly, the journey to get there is breathtaking and thoroughly enjoyable. This room is highly recommended for fans of horror games and Stephen King's works. It provides a good balance of scares and psychological tension, making it one of the best escape rooms I've played. However, it does require a bit of nerve, as it includes some genuinely scary moments.
