Kuriosum - Artefakt der Finsternis

Overwhelmingly positive (167 ratings)

Mark as done to rate

Furchtbare Geheimnisse umgeben diesen mysteriösen Laden, der im Laufe des letzten Jahrhundert langsam in den Büchern der Vergangenheit verblasst ist. Reliquien aus der ganzen Welt, alte Artefakte und vermeintlicher Ramsch erzählen stumme Geschichten von vergessenen Epochen. Das Kuriosum, welches einst Faszination und Furcht gleichermaßen hervorrief, wurde von einem ebenso rätselhaften Besitzer geführt: Ein Mann, mit einer Aura der Dunkelheit, der stets einen Schatten über sich zu tragen schien. Mythen über verschwundene Personen und seltsame unerklärliche Todesfälle werden darüber hinaus noch bis heute schweigsam mit dem Kuriosum in Verbindung gebracht. Tauche ein in eine atemberaubende und wendungsreiche Grusel-Geschichte, denn die verstaubten Wände des Kuriosums erzählen mehr, als man je erahnen könnte. Wird es dir gelingen, das Rätsel zu lösen, dass das alte Gemäuer umgibt oder wirst du selbst Teil der morbiden Legende werden? Manchmal ist es besser das Unbekannte lieber ruhen zu lassen ...

This game is high on cinematic-ness and set design, it felt like we were in a movie much more than other rooms. The cold start was very effective and set the tone well; the end sequence was a clever conclusion. Puzzles made sense and were fine, but they also felt mostly there to gate progression rather than being a focus. While there's a lot of interesting things to look at, you can't actually interact with much - it's a clever way to reduce maintenance, but it also contributed to the game feeling pretty "on rails" to me in a way that I didn't love. The story and general atmosphere were also not something that resonated with me, but I could see others appreciating.

4 enthusiasts felt like too many - the game is linear and there's not much to interact with, so a lot of the time some of us were standing around with nothing to do but admire the set (though admittedly this was cool). 2 would have been perfect.

The experience was awesome. The space was small but full of details, atmosphere and character. The puzzles are on the lighter side but well made. I fully recommend this game, it is worth travelling for.

You climb up about two steps into a small area and crawl a little. As a short, wide and unfit person it was easy to do. The rest of the experience was not at all physically active.

Not accessible if you are unable to climb or crawl. Color blindness should not be an issue.

The best escape room we’ve ever experienced. This was immersion to the max. The thing that really made it stand out was the way the set was done so that you felt that no-one else had been there before. It felt undisturbed in decades. The level of thought, detail and tech behind the scenes in this game was incredible.

Gameplay

It felt linear as well as not. In that we actually did things in a different way to intended and we were able to get back on track after.

Atmosphere

THE BEST set design and attention to detail have ever seen in a room. Extremely intricate and theatrical. Could not be improved upon.

Customer service

Excellent and in character the entire time, even sneaky things after too - his sleight of hand is most excellent

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

This is closer to an experience and a story than a traditional escape room. This is different to any escape room we’ve done before

Story

The story was very strong and held everything together.

The puzzles aren’t that hard individually but the atmosphere and situation makes it a little harder.

Curiousness: The Artifact of Darkness / Kuriosum: Artefakt der Finsternis by Escape Room Witten was the second room of our 9 room escape tour in Germany. We were the same group of 3 and had an absolute blast. The intro was playful and entertaining, setting a great tone right from the start. Once inside, the environment immediately stood out, absolutely stunning in terms of set design, props, lighting, and sound. It truly felt like stepping into another world, masterfully built to keep you immersed from beginning to end. While the puzzles weren’t the star of the show, they served the narrative well and kept the story flowing naturally. The experience carries a light spooky vibe, but nothing too intense, even those who usually avoid any type of scariness will find it manageable. Can’t recommend this experience enough. It left such a strong impression I even bought the tshirt to remember it by. Really looking forward to their next adventure.

Fantastic room - everything fits, beginning with the great immersive intro, the stunning decoration, lights, sounds and even smells. Amazing story telling and lots of easter eggs for lovers of escape rooms. As they tell you on their website: you’ll get dirty so choose your clothes accordingly. Also prepare for a bit crawling and some dark corners… not horror but definitely spooky at times.

Großartiger, extrem imersiver Raum. Ein absolutes MUSS!

This is a true labour of love. My friend played this as her 100th room and I organised a special for it, not knowing what they ended up doing with the package. It was magical, immensely immersive and the staging was amazing! The atmosphere was graspable, the voices, sound, production. Everything screamed „this has to work - or we will go down with it“ and IT WORKED. The owner was our gamemaster and we had a long talk with him after the game and it was truly amazing. They constantly work on their adventure and we all fell in love with him - enthusiastic people just make us love them even more when they talk nerdsy about their adventure. We will come back - and yes, that is a threat.
