A really fun and well done room with a lot of depth to it. As a team of two it was on the harder side but we managed to escape with a bit of time to spare.
The Lost Treasure Of Alexander Von Humboldt

Mark as done to rate
Archeologists wanted! A tight passage was found during repair works in the basement of the Humboldt University which leads into an abandoned secret study chamber deep under ground. The brothers Humboldt might have built it centuries ago to examine and hide precious and mysterious artifacts they found during their travels. People say there might even be the lost holy grail… .

10/10 this is a must do if you are in Berlin. Amongst my favourite completed rooms with an incredible set design and puzzles that were well themed to add to the immersiveness - even the clue system/ communication with GM were very well themed! A physically active room that never dulled and kept us excited throughout. Very unique puzzles. I was impressed by the design and how much they’ve managed to fit into a small space!

A must-play if you visit Berlin. From the moment you walk in, you’ll be impressed by the small touches that set this apart as a top Escape Room venue. Very clever puzzles and a perfect mix of classic locks/keys and adventure-style challenges ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This room was great at both ambience and storytelling. In those two categories everything was super cohesive and high production quality. I will say that the puzzles themselves were not extremely challenging and I would've liked some more creativity there. All-in-all, I liked this room a lot!

Loved the setting and the effects. Good variety of tasks and puzzles to solve. We played with just 2 players which I think was a good amount as with more players it might have been crowed in some areas and/or hard to see what is going on for everyone.

This really feels like an adventure. The briefing is really well done, and the amount of exploring you can do in such a small place is crazy. The décor looks fabulous, and you really have the feeling you're the first to explore this place. I recommend!

They made incredibly creative use of the space and it required great coordination between players even more than raw brainpower.

People say it’s the best escape room in the world and whilst I’ve not done nearly enough rooms to definitively say that, I can certainly see why. Puzzles are super clever but not frustrating, room was very immersive and there were genuinely lots of ‘wow’ moments.
