KURIOSUM - Artifact of Darkness

Wow, what a cool and amazing experience. It starts off incredibly well right from the beginning. I don’t want to spoil anything about the process, because this is an experience you should go into completely blind. The design, story, and puzzles are unbelievably good and very well thought out. I’ve never visited such an outstanding escape room before. What I especially appreciate is that there’s no time pressure. You can explore and discover everything at your own pace. We traveled 6 hours to get there, and we will definitely do it again someday. It was absolutely worth it! We’re beyond thrilled!

Absolutely blown away by this escape room! The technical aspects are top-notch, with cleverly designed puzzles. The design is visually stunning, transporting us to a unique and immersive world. But what truly sets this room apart is the creativity of the story - we were hooked from start to finish. The attention to detail is impressive, and every element works together to create an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a challenging and engaging escape room!😊👍🏻

A fully immersive journey with a compelling story, elaborate effects, and several surprising twists. I love that they let you experience everything without time pressure, and you just go with everything that happens. The 360-degree theming, which also hides most tech used during the experience (I mean, wow!), incorporates helping mechanisms brilliantly into the story. The love for easter eggs and many lovely details in general goes far beyond of what you can usually expect from an escape room or any immersive experience in general. Simply because it would work with less effort, but these guys know their potential and do it right. Go there; it's worth every penny!

We would fully recommend this room to everyone looking for an escape room with a very immersive story and a real impressive experience. Best room I ever. I was absolutely amazed by this experience and all the details.

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.

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.

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.

Super gestaltet, Rätsel mittelmäßig gut

Room was full of details and a groundbreaking atmosphere created by all the props and special effects, highly recommended!

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.
